AUSTRALIA-INDIA COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC COOPERATION AGREEMENT AI-CECA SIGNED

A new Australia-India Free Trade agreement was signed on the 2nd of April 2022.
The agreement, also known as the Australia-India Comprehensive Economic
Cooperation Agreement (AI-CECA) is an interim agreement, as both countries
continue to work towards a full Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement.

The Australian and Indian Governments had originally started negotiating a free
trade deal in 2011 when 9 rounds of negotiations occurred before being suspended
in 2015. In June of 2020, Prime Ministers Scott Morrison and Narendra Modi
restarted the negotations as part of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership
between Australia and India.

The deal evolved after the Chinese government placed huge tariffs on many
Australian products in 2020, that directly targeted some of Australia’s core
exports, including beef, coal, wine, seafood and barley.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison explains the deal as “one of the
biggest economic doors”.

“We are opening the biggest door of one of the biggest economies in the world in
India”, Mr Morrison stated ahead of the signing.

According to Australia’s Minister for Trade;



> In 2020, India was Australia’s seventh largest trading partner, with two-way
> trade valued at $24.3 billion, and sixth largest goods and services export
> market, valued at $16.9 billion. Our Government’s goal is to lift India into
> our top three export markets by 2035, and to make India the third largest
> destination in Asia for outward Australian investment.
> 
> Australia's Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, The Hon Dan Tehan





WHICH INDUSTRIES WILL BENEFIT FROM THE AUSTRALIA-INDIA TRADE AGREEMENT AI-CECA?

The agreement will benefit several industries throughout India and Australia to
promote increased 2 way trade. It’s set to bring immediate benefits to some
industries by eliminating tariffs on more than 85% of Australian goods exports
to India, and will continue to rise to cover approximately 90% of goods over a
10 year period.

Over time, 96% of Indian goods imported into Australia will become duty free.

 

SOME INDUSTRIES WILL SEE IMMEDIATE BENEFITS

Mr Piyush Goyal, India’s Minister of Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs and
Food, and Public Distribution and Textiles confirms that the agreement will
bring huge opportunities for India’s exports. Indian industries that are set to
benefit from the deal include:

 * Automobiles
 * Footwear and leather products
 * Gems & Jewelry
 * Textiles
 * Toys and Plastic Products

 

COAL AND RESOURCES SECTOR

Australian coal is a vital raw material for India’s steel sector, which is
currently charged a 2.5% import duty rate. Under the new deal it will reduce to
0% to further bolster the cooperation agreement.

Other resources included in the deal are several metallic ores such as copper
and nickel, critical minerals, rare earth and Australia’s Liquefied Natural Gas
LNG.

WINE

Over the past 2 years, Australian wine exports was already significantly
increasing into India. Wine with an import price of above $5USD currently
attracts 150% duty, which will immediately reduce to 100% and then further down
to only 50% over the next 10 years. Similarly, wine with an import price of
above $15USD currently attracts 150% duty, which will immediately reduce to 75%
and then further down to only 25% over the next 10 years.

WOOL

India is Australia’s second largest export market for Australia’s wool exports.
It is currently charged a 5% tariff when imported into India, which will be
reduced to 0% when the deal is in force.

SHEEP MEAT

Previously, Australian lamb and mutton producers had to battle a 30% tariff on
imports into India. Under the new agreement the tariff will be eliminated.

 

OTHER INDUSTRIES WILL BENEFIT OVER TIME

Several other industries are set to benefit from reduced tariffs over a longer
period, including industries producing:

 * Avocados, onions, cherries, nuts, blueberries, almonds, oranges, mandarins,
   pears, apricots, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and currants
 * Kidney beans, adzuki beans and lentils
 * Shelled pistachios, macadamias, cashews in-shell and almonds
 * Faba beans, canola oil and soybeans
 * Some pharmaceutical products and certain medical devices


 

SOME PRODUCTS AND INDUSTRIES WERE EXCLUDED FROM THE AUSTRALIA-INDIA FREE TRADE
AGREEMENT

There are several industries that were not included in the original
Australia-India Free Trade deal. The milk, dairy and grains industries are a
significant exclusion from the deal. Other industries that have not been
included in the deal cover iron ore, gold, silver, platinum, jewelry, sugar,
rice, wheat, apples, walnuts, sunflower seed oil, walnuts, chickpeas, pistachio
nuts and most medical devices.

These industries will continue to pressure their governments to include more
products in the deal sometime in future. According to Australian Prime Minister
Scott Morrison and Trade minister Dan Tehan, there will be future negotiations
to cover more industries;

“We have been successful when it comes to lentils in getting a quota, but when
it comes to chickpeas and dairy they will have to wait for a final deal, these
are obviously very sensitive when it comes to India”, Tehan stated.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison also commented on expanding the deal.

“These are never all or nothing deals as far as we’re concerned; we see all of
these as the next step and the next step and the next step”, Morrison said.
