5 INSTRUMENTS INVOLVED IN THE SAFTA
• Afghanistan supplies 80 percent of India's imported hing, which is of higher quality than Iranian
hing. Although it is presently grown in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, India does not have trade
agreements with them to benefit from duty exemptions.
• Consumers are the ones who have suffered as prices have risen by 10-15%.Afghanistan's banking
institutions were closed, and there were no customs officers to clear consignments and issue
necessary certifications.
