Imports

New Delhi: The Centre on Thursday said it has contracted to import an additional 12,660 tonnes of onions and the shipment will reach India from December 27 onwards, a move aimed at improving the domestic supply and check price rise. With this, the total quantity of imports that have been contracted so far reached approximately 30,000 tonnes, an official statement said. For the second week in a row, onion prices are ruling above the Rs 100 per kg mark, as government efforts to cool the rates seem to be taking more time than expected. In a statement, the Consumer Affairs Ministry said it has directed state-owned trading agency MMTC to issue fresh tenders for additional 15,000 tonnes of onions (three new tenders of 5,000 tonne each) on Thursday. Last month, Union Food and Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan attributed the rise in prices to a 26 per cent decline in domestic production during kharif and late-kharif seasons because of late monsoon followed by excess rains in major … [Read more...] about Govt Contracts Import of Additional 12,660 Tonnes of Onions to Check Price Rise

NEW DELHI: In a clampdown on goods coming through e-commerce portals using the “gift” route, the government on Thursday prohibited such imports except life saving drugs and rakhi. The import of gifts was earlier free and not subject to customs duty. The move will impact Chinese e-commerce websites like Club Factory, Ali Express and Shein who are the largest users of this route. “Import of goods as gifts with payment of full applicable duties is allowed,” DGFT said in a notification on Thursday. The government was concerned over a large number of products from China entering India as ‘gifts’ and being shipped directly to customers since gifts of up to Rs 5,000 intended for personal use are exempt from customs duties. Moreover, this was hurting the Make in India ambition as New Delhi’s trade deficit with Beijing in 2018-19 was a whopping $53.6 billion. ET had reported last year in December that the Department for Promotion of Industry and … [Read more...] about Govt prohibits gift imports through ecommerce portals

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union confirmed tariffs on Indonesian biodiesel imports on Monday to counter what it sees as unfair subsidies, the latest blow to producers after the bloc ruled that palm oil should be phased out of renewable transport fuels.

REUTERS/Francois Lenoir In the conclusion to a case that has lasted seven years, the duties, which normally remain in place for five years, have been set at between 8% and 18%, the same level as the provisional rates proposed by the EU in August. The EU biodiesel market is worth an estimated 9 billion euros ($10 billion) a year, with imports from Indonesia worth about 400 million euros, the European Commission said. Indonesian producers sold at unfairly low prices, the Commission, which coordinates trade policy for the EU, said, adding that its investigation found they benefit from grants, tax … [Read more...] about EU hits Indonesian biodiesel with import duties over subsidies

Advertisement The Google Spreadsheet is an incredibly powerful piece of software, yet it seems most users only know and use a small fraction of its potential. For instance, do you know how to get information from one Google Spreadsheet into another? Did you even know it was possible?Perhaps this is due to the documentation side of things. Google documents things quite well, yet to find what you are looking for you often have to wade through that documentation. There doesn’t seem to be a user-friendly guide written by Google on how to use these things. You either understand the tech jargon and find the answer yourself, or you settle for doing things the way you always did.So, to answer our original query, there are two ways to share data between spreadsheets. You can either use a spreadsheet script, or you can use an in-line cell function. Since scripting is the more difficult option, we’ll talk through the latter function instead.Importing Data From Another … [Read more...] about How To Import Data From Other Google Spreadsheets
