However, steel imports from these countries include high grade steel, which are not manufactured domestically. <br><br>
The volume of trade, including both exports and imports with these countries has increased since the signing of the bilateral trade agreements. Notwithstanding a slight increase in trade deficit, the domestic industry has benefited from the trade agreements due to cheaper import of raw materials and intermediates from these countries for stimulating value added domestic manufacturing. The trade agreements have adequate trade remedial provisions for dealing with certain surges in imports that might threaten domestic industry.</strong></td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong></strong></td>  </tr>   <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top" ><strong>Tags : Trade Agreements, Impact, Exports, Imports</strong></td>  </tr> <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>  </tr>  <tr>      <td align="left" valign="top"><strong>Source : newsroom.manupatra.com</strong></td>  </tr> <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">Regards</td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">Team Manupatra</td>  </tr>  <tr>   <td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>  </tr>   </table> </div> </body> </html>
