GJEPC organised a webinar on 19th August to explore the potential of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA) for the gem and jewellery sector. The session emphasised how the FTA could boost bilateral trade, investment, and cooperation by reducing barriers and opening access to wider markets.
Two experts from Economic Laws Practice (ELP) addressed the session. Sanjay Notani, Partner – International Trade & Customs Practice, outlined key regulatory aspects and global trade implications, while Nishant Shah, Partner – Tax, Regulatory & Customs Practice, provided insights into tax and customs issues impacting the industry. Both speakers highlighted practical ways exporters could leverage the agreement and prepare for future opportunities.
The discussion also extended to other FTAs, helping members understand how to maximise benefits under multiple trade pacts. More than 200 participants attended the webinar, underscoring the industry’s interest in the evolving trade landscape. The session concluded with a Q&A that offered members clarity on policy and trade-related concerns.
