Duty-free access sought from UAE for eggs, textiles, spices.
Dec 10, 2021

India has sought duty-free market access for its spices, eggs, cheese and textiles in the UAE as part of the free-trade agreement it is negotiating with the grouping.
 
At present, the UAE has banned poultry imports from India due to concerns over bird flu while India's textile exports are levied a 5% duty.
 
'We are keen to sell poultry products to the UAE and are hopeful they will allow imports from India, starting with eggs as eggs are a big market there,' said an official, adding that India has assured that it is following the biosafety norms set by the World Organization for Animal Health to prevent infection.
 
As per the official, the UAE is keen to get duty concessions for dates, confectionery and sugar-based products.
