Under the India-UK agreement, the import tariff on British whisky was reduced to 75% from 150%, effectively cutting the rate by half. The tariff is scheduled to decline further to 40% over the next 10 years. However, the reduction in import duty does not result in a similar reduction in the final retail price.
