Duty-free access sought from UAE for eggs, textiles, spices


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.


As per the official, the UAE is keen to get duty concessions for dates, confectionery and sugar-based products.


India is keen to get duty-free access for its fresh and frozen bovine meat, cheese, spices, certain organic chemicals and paper products. It has identified 1,100-odd products including washing machines, ACs, refrigerators, spices, tobacco, cotton fabrics, textiles and leather whose exports it wants to increase through the pact.


"Politically, this agreement is important as Pakistan was insisting the UAE to not ink any pact with India but the UAE has ignored it," said a trade expert, adding that India stands to gain in services and could push for long-term business visas with the UAE.
