Will tariff reductions and market access improvements apply immediately or be phased in over time?

Under the EU-India FTA, some tariff reductions and market access improvements are expected to apply immediately when the agreement enters into force, while others will be phased in gradually over several years.

The exact timing will depend on the final agreement and will be specified in the FTA schedules and annexes.
