Excise duty on cigarettes and customs duties on items such as footwear, furniture, and food processing goods have increased significantly. A health cess on medical equipment imports and higher import taxes on items like wall fans and toys were also introduced. Conversely, certain items like raw sugar, agro-animal based products, and select alcoholic beverages will become cheaper due to reduced customs duties. Exemptions and reductions were also applied to items like newsprint, tuna bait, and electric vehicles.
