India-UK FTA to include co-equal origin provision; product-specific norms to offer flexibility

Wait 5 sec.

The India-UK FTA introduces "coequal" origin rules, offering flexibility for goods to qualify for reduced tariffs by meeting any origin criteria. This approach, along with digital certificates of origin, aims to improve access and compliance. India anticipates zero duty benefits for 99% of exports to the UK, while the UK will cut tariffs on 90% of product lines.
