CBAM is a proposed levy on imports based on emissions intensity, designed to align imported goods with domestic carbon pricing rules.<\/p>\n    <p>Agrawal said the regulation is still under development and has not yet come to fruition. Once free allowances under the UK Emission Trading System are fully phased out, the tax could range from <strong>14% to 24% of import value<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n    <h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_India-UK_CETA_Protects_Steel_Market_Access\"><\/span>How India-UK CETA Protects Steel Market Access<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n    <p>India&#8217;s steel exporters were a central focus in negotiations because quota limits and emissions-linked charges directly affect shipment economics.
