The decision to end the GSP status given to India by the US came into force earlier this month. With this, exports to the US by New Delhi will now become expensive. Under GSP, India’s goods in the US used to get duty exemption, which has now ended. Apart from this, ending the exemption granted to India under GSP in the US will have the greatest impact on the engineering sector.
