On February 19, 2024, India's Ministry of Finance (MoF)/Department of Revenue issued Notification No. 10/2024-Customs in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part II, Section 3, Subsection (i) (official gazette), lowering import duties levied on frozen turkey (meat) and edible offal, cranberries, and blueberries. India is also eliminating import duties levied on U.S. cotton (not carded or combed). The revised import duties are effective as of February 20, 2024. U.S.-origin frozen turkey (meat) and edible offal exports to India are expected to grow to 35 metric tons (MT) in 2024 (i.e., premised on U.S. product availability) thanks to this tariff relaxation. India’s imports of U.S.-origin cranberries and blueberries are foreseen to increase this year by over 19 percent, reaching roughly 3,640 MT. Consignments of U.S. cotton (not carded or combed), in 2024 might grow 70 percent, surpassing the 40,300 MT mark.
