They have sought an explanation from India at the World Trade Organization<\/a> (WTO<\/a>) as under the Information Technology Agreement (ITA) signatories can’t impose import duties on many IT products including mobile phones.
\n
Last month, India had raised customs duties on mobile phones, TV sets, digital cameras, microwave ovens, LED bulbs and a number of other electronics<\/a> goods to boost local manufacturing. “These countries have asked India for an explanation in the ITA committee,” said an official aware of the development.
\n
Earlier, both India and China came under fire at the WTO from many countries that wanted the two countries to fulfil their commitments under the WTO’s ITA. The government<\/a> had imposed customs duty<\/a> on mobile phones for the first time on July 1to boost manufacturing in the country.
\n
\nWith last month’s notification, imported smartphones cost more with customs duty on them being increased to 15% while customs duty on television sets was doubled to 20% and LED lamps are charged with a 20% import duty.
\n
\nThough China is the largest exporter of electronics to India, it has not objected to the move.
\n
\n“China has not raised the issue of us raising duties,” the official added. “Chinese companies have set shop here and they bring components in completely knocked down condition here. This is a case of tariff jumping as they assemble phones after importing components,” said Biswajit Dhar, professor at Jawaharlal Nehru University.
\n
\nHowever, Delhi is preparing for any likely dispute because if countries are dissatisfied with India’s explanation, they may drag the country to dispute settlement at the WTO post which a panel would decide whether India bent any rules.
