What to watch
- CBIC notification confirming, modifying or rejecting DGTR's recommended duties.
- Final duty schedule by HS code, origin, producer/exporter and effective date.
- Domestic aluminium foil and rolled-product price movements and lead-time changes after notification.
- Supplier surcharge notices from cookware, packaging and household-foil vendors.
- Import volumes from affected countries and diversion toward Vietnam, South Korea, Gulf producers or other non-subject origins.
