US’ 10% duty under Section 301; India looking quota for T&A under BTA

India is seeking US textile market-access benefits comparable to Bangladesh and Cambodia under a proposed TRQ mechanism.
Inclusion could offer zero-duty access within specified quotas, helping Indian exporters offset the additional 10 per cent tariff.
The issue is part of ongoing India-US BTA talks, while the US quota mechanism is yet to be operationalised.
