India and UK Agree to Annual Data Exchange to Monitor Trade Pact Benefits
India and the UK have agreed to exchange annual data on the use of tariff concessions under their Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), starting one year after the pact's July 2026 entry into force. This data exchange aims to track businesses' use of preferential tariffs and gather feedback to support exporters, especially small and medium enterprises. Early trade benefits include duty-free Scottish salmon, Scotch whisky, and Indian goods like smartphones and regional rice. The agreement is expected to boost bilateral trade and deepen economic ties, with ongoing efforts to resolve implementation issues and promote business partnerships.
