India Prepares for EU Carbon Costs and Simplifies UK Import Duty Procedures
India faces new trade challenges as the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) begins in January 2026, imposing carbon costs on imports of carbon-intensive goods like steel and aluminium. To address this, India is developing a domestic carbon market to support cleaner technologies and maintain export competitiveness. Separately, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) has simplified procedures for claiming concessional duties under the India-UK trade pact, allowing importers to use a valid Origin Declaration without filing Form-I with every shipment, easing customs compliance.
