[h=1]India Bans Import Of Mobile Phones, Milk, Steel Products From China, Know Why[/h]The Government has announced a ban on the import of certain electronic items, mobile phones, milk and it’s products, and some steel products as of Monday. As per Nirmala Sitharaman, the Union Commerce Minister, the ban has been passed in view of concern over the quality of the aforementioned items. Now, mobile phones which do not bear the International Mobile Station Equipment Identity number, that is the unique identification number of a mobile set, or other security features, can not be imported from China.

The move was questioned by the BJP member, Bhola Singh and the Biju Janata Dal member Tathagata Satapathy, who claimed imports from China were responsible for limiting the success of the MSME (medium, small and micro enterprises) sector of India, and wanted a complete ban on Chinese import. While it may seem to some as a more effective step, the blanket ban was not accepted since regardless of diplomatic or military issues, a complete ban on import from any country goes against the WTO regulation.

IMEI numbers are useful in tracking a phone in case of a loss..We should restrict unauthorized phones..But the real problem is the dwindling sales of Indian mobile manufacturers!

I suppose that a complete ban on import of substandard goods from any country will not go against the WTO regulations.
