A two-member US team visited New Delhi on 2–3 November 2026 to advance technical discussions on customs and trade facilitation under the proposed India-US bilateral trade agreement (BTA). The visit comes amid uncertainty over the broader trade negotiations following the US midterm elections. Differences over tariffs and access to India’s agricultural and dairy markets continue to delay an interim agreement.

A two-member US delegation visited New Delhi last week to discuss technical aspects of the proposed India-US bilateral trade agreement, indicating that negotiations are continuing at the working level despite uncertainty over the pact’s broader timeline.

The team, comprising officials working on customs and trade facilitation, held discussions on 2–3 November, according to a source tracking the negotiations.

“On November 2-3, a two-member track team on customs and trade facilitation was in New Delhi to take forward the technical part of the negotiations,” a person tracking the matter told BusinessLine.
