India Rescinds Duty Exemption on Nepalese Primary Products via Notification No. 12/2020-Customs.

The Indian government, under Notification No. 56/2006-Customs dated June 7, 2006, exempted specific primary products imported from Nepal from the additional duty of customs, known as special CVD. This exemption applies to goods wholly produced in Nepal and includes items such as unprocessed agricultural and forest produce, minerals, rice, pulses, timber, jaggery, animals, beeswax, honey, raw wool, milk products, ghani-produced oils, Ayurvedic medicines, village artisan products, yak tails, and akra. This exemption was later rescinded by Notification No. 12/2020-Customs on February 2, 2020.
