India secured an expanded preferential quota to export up to 1.64 million metric tons of steel annually to the European Union under a pending free trade agreement.
The deal adds a preferential quota of 694,853 tons on top of an existing World Trade Organization quota.
Shipments above the quota will face a 50 percent tariff, according to a Global Trade Research Initiative analysis cited in the reporting.
Indian steel is still subject to the European Union’s carbon border adjustment mechanism, which applies to all steel imports.
The reporting says the carbon levy could add substantial costs once it is fully phased in.
A quick read on shared facts, changing details, and different emphasis.
Both reports agree that the pending EU trade deal expands India’s steel access to 1.64 million metric tons a year and that exports beyond the quota face a 50 percent tariff. They also agree that the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism still applies to Indian steel.
The main unresolved question is the eventual cost impact of the carbon border adjustment mechanism once it is fully phased in. The reporting also does not go beyond the pending agreement on how the quota and tariff provisions will be implemented.
