Proposed amendments establish phased basic customs duty schedules under the Phased Manufacturing Program for wrist wearable devices, hearable devices, and smart meters, specifying year-by-year duty rates for identified components, sub-assemblies and finished units.

Customs duty concessions review phases out concessional exemptions across sectors, replacing many with standard duty rates and sunset clauses.
A comprehensive pruning of customs duty concessions withdraws, phases out, or time limits multiple BCD exemptions across sectors under notification No. 50/2017 and related standalone notifications. Sectoral concessions for textiles, power, petroleum, leather, food packaging and others are omitted or scheduled for staged withdrawal; select items are retained. Project imports face a uniform substituted BCD rate for new projects while existing projects are grandfathered for a transitional period. Section 25(4A) end date rules are applied to conditional exemptions and obsolete notifications are rescinded or merged.
