Frequently asked questions

Why India’s 70% duty?

India is a net importer despite Kerala/Karnataka rubber production. The 70% BCD protects domestic natural rubber prices at 30-40% above regional. Tyre makers get advance-authorisation concession, but bulk latex users pay full duty. Anti-dumping proceedings on Vietnamese/Thai latex have been on/off since 2022.
