上述报道称，有关两国关税豁免的具体安排措施，将在今年10月韩国釜山RCEP第10轮谈判中完成。
区域全面经济伙伴关系协定谈判历时近3年，今年8月在吉隆坡举行的第三次部长级会议取得关键进展。
在这次会议上，与会各方就货物贸易出价模式达成一致，同意力争于2015年年底前实质性结束谈判，并在2016年内尽快解决其他技术性问题。
《印度教徒报》的说法是，印度工商部已经与印度业界展开磋商讨论，哪些领域的关税可以放开，哪些需要保护，豁免的关税执行期将为10年。
商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院世界经济研究所所长梁艳芬在接受早报记者采访时指出，豁免部分商品关税带来的经济影响要看具体商品类别，“不太可能一下子就对敏感产品放开，可能会选些对双方影响不大的品类。”
有分析认为，关税减免，将有利于各方的商品进入对方市场。这对印度影响颇大。今年5月初，印度工商业联合会曾表态，中印签署自贸协定，短期来看受益的肯定是中国，印度会处于不利的地位，因为印度的关税很高。（中国进出口网）
On September 13, "The Hindu" quoted government sources as saying that India and China has agreed, under the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) Agreement framework, tariffs of half the goods in bilateral trade between India and China would be exempted. The government source said that the two countries have agreed on 42.5% of the bilateral trade of goods exempted from customs duties, "No industry hopes Chinese goods into India with zero tariff, so we’re nervous, but it must take such a pragmatic step, because we will also be able to have zero-tariff access to the Chinese market. "
The above-mentioned report also said, concerning the specific arrangements for bilateral tariff exemption measures, it would be completed in the tenth round of negotiation of RECP in October this year in Busan, Korea.
Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement negotiations lasted nearly three years, and made key progress in the Third Ministerial Conference held in Kuala Lumpur in August this year.
At the meeting, the participants agreed on the bid patterns of trade in goods, and agreed to strive to complete the substantive negotiations before the end of 2015 and to resolve other technical issues in the year 2016 as soon as possible.
"The Hindu" argument is that India's Commerce and Industry Ministry has launched consultations with India Industries on which field tariff can open, which needs to be protected, the implementation period of tariff exemptions will be 10 years.
The director of Institute of World Economy of Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation Liang Yanfen in an interview with Post reporters pointed out that the economic impact of some of the goods exempted from customs duties depends on the specific product category, "it is unlikely to suddenly exempt sensitive product tariff, some categories that has little effect on both may be chosen."
Some analysts believed that the tariff reduction would help the goods to enter each other's market. That would have a lot of influence on India. In early May this year, the Federation of Industry and Commerce in India said, China and India signed a free trade agreement, in the short term, it would benefit China, India will be at a disadvantage, because of the high tariff in India.
