<h1>India's Apple Import Duty Stays at 50%, Aligns with GATT/WTO; Future Changes Unlikely Without New Negotiations.</h1> The import duty on apples in India remains at 50%, which aligns with the Bound rate agreed under GATT/WTO, making further increases unlikely without additional negotiations. Major apple exporters to India include Chile, China, New Zealand, and the USA, with China leading in both quantity and value. The Doha Round allows developing countries to designate certain agricultural products as Special Products (SPs) for food and livelihood security, which would face no or lower import duty reductions. The inclusion of apples as SPs will be considered after the Doha Round concludes, as stated by a government official.
