Customs tariff increase on specified imported goods raises duty rates across selected chapters, expanding import levies. Central Government directed amendment of the First Schedule to the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, substituting higher duty entries in column (4) for specified tariff items in Chapters 39, 40, 42, 64, 71 and 84, thereby increasing the import duty on those identified goods; the notification takes effect from 27th September, 2018 and includes a corrigendum correcting the text.
