Developing country notification updates the roster recognised for tariff treatment under Section 8B(6)(a) of the Customs Tariff Act. The Central Government, exercising power under Section 8B(6)(a) of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, notifies a named list of foreign states as developing countries, superseding the prior 1998 notification except as to past actions, thereby establishing the roster to be applied for tariff and regulatory treatment tied to that statutory provision.
