US officials lobbied India to reverse laptop licensing policy, which was implemented in August and concerned WTO obligations.
US officials successfully lobbied India to reverse a laptop licensing policy that required firms to obtain licenses for laptop, tablet, personal computer, and server imports. India's government initially imposed the rules in August, raising concerns about slowing sales and compliance with WTO obligations. After US Trade Representative Katherine Tai's meeting with India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal in August, India reversed the laptop licensing policy in October. Indian officials stated that they would still monitor laptop and tablet imports.
