The other items include washing machines, speakers, radial car tyres, jewellery items, kitchen and tableware, certain plastic gods, and suitcases. The central government has taken tariff measures, by way of increase in the basic customs duty, to curb import of certain imported items. In all the customs duty has been increased on 19 items, the ministry said. The import duty was doubled to 20 per cent on ACs, refrigerators and washing machines (less than 10kg). These changes in the rates of basic customs duty will be effective from midnight of September 26-27.
