The Indian government (Directorate General of Foreign Trade<\/strong>) has just rolled out a new Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ)<\/a><\/strong> system under the India-UK Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In plain English? A set number of British cars can now enter India every year at massive tax discounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        The Big Tax Cuts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Luxury Petrol & Diesel Cars:<\/strong> High-end, large-engine vehicles will see import taxes plummet from a base rate of customs duty<\/strong> of 110% down to just 10%<\/strong> over the next 5 years.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Electric & Hybrid Vehicles:<\/strong> Premium UK-made electric cars<\/a><\/strong> (valued over \u00a340,000) will see duties slashed to as low as 10% or even 0%<\/strong> depending on the timeline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Commercial Goods Vehicles:<\/strong> Cargo trucks will also enjoy a reduced in-quota duty of 8.8%<\/strong> (down from 44%).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u00b7        How the Quota System Works<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Authorized Sellers Only:<\/strong> Only Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs)<\/a><\/strong> or their authorized dealers can apply for these tax breaks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Proof of Origin:<\/strong> Importers must show a valid Certificate of Origin<\/strong><\/a> to prove the vehicle was built in the UK.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Savings Passed to You:<\/strong> The policy explicitly states that importers should pass these concessional customs duty<\/strong> savings directly to the final buyer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"India-UK<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Why CETA Quota System is Important<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The CETA Quota System is important for vehicle importers because it helps reduce customs duty on eligible UK-origin vehicles. However, the benefit is available only within the approved TRQ quota limit. Therefore, importers should check eligibility, HS code, Certificate of Origin<\/a>, DGFT process, and required documents before applying. Proper planning can help businesses save import costs and complete customs clearance smoothly.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \"Infographic<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      CETA Quota System helps eligible importers claim TRQ benefits on UK-origin vehicles. Under the CETA Quota System, importers must follow DGFT rules, quota limits, and customs documentation requirements.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      \u00b7        The Bottom Line<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      This deal is a major win for car enthusiasts. Expect a wider variety of premium British cars, luxury SUVs, and advanced electric vehicles<\/strong> on Indian roads at much more competitive prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
