India drops plan to impose restrictions on laptop imports
By MYBRANDBOOK
India is withdrawing its prior plan to place curbs on laptop imports months after unexpectedly announcing such intentions, which drew outrage from the business community and Washington. Sunil Barthwal, the Trade Secretary, declared that "India will not impose restrictions on laptop imports." Only importers are to be closely monitored, according to the Government.
The import licensing regime, announced on Aug. 3, aimed to "ensure trusted hardware and systems" enter India, but it was delayed by three months after objections from industry and criticism by Washington. It would affect companies like Dell, HP, Apple, Samsung and Lenovo.
The government is holding consultations with the industry and a new order on laptop imports will be announced by the end of October, Directorate General of Foreign Trade Santosh Kumar Sarangi said.
