ALL MEMBERS OF THE  COUNCIL

 

 

Concessions to be offered to China and sought from

 

China under RCEP

 

 

Dear Sir/ Madam,

 

As you are aware, RCEP is a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement being negotiated between the 10 ASEAN Member States (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam) and ASEAN's 6 FTA partner countries (Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea and New Zealand).

 

 In this connection, member are requested to provide us following information:

 

 

(i)        What lines can India offer to China under RCEP on a reciprocal basis? The same may be listed out the HS 8 digit level

 

(ii)       What additional lines do we need as concessions from China, the same may also be listed out at the HS 8 digit level

 

The format to be used is as follows:

 

HS Code at 8 digit

Volume of trade

Present import duty by India

Present import duty by China

Reduction sought from China

Matching reduction offered by India

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Ministry has to share the information with RCEP parties on priority,  Member-exporters are therefore requested to send their inputs at the earliest on our e-mail id’s-  deepak.gupta@chemexcil.gov.in & balani.lic@chemexcil.gov.in .   Your early inputs on the same will enable us forward to the Ministry for  further deliberations.

 

 

Thanking You,

 

 

Yours faithfully,

 

( S.G.BHARADI )
