A large number of commonly used items, including headphones, earphones, loudspeakers, smart meters, imitation jewellery, solar cells and solar modules will become more expensive due to a hike in customs duties on imported parts, as proposed by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Union Budget for 2022-23.

However, imported cut and polished diamonds, frozen mussels, frozen squids, asafoetida, cocoa beans, methyl alcohol and acetic acid will become cheaper as a result of rationalisation in customs duties.

Following is a list of imported items that will become costlier:

-Umbrella -Imitation Jewellery -Single or multiple loudspeakers -Headphones and earphones -Smart meters -Solar cells -Solar modules -X-ray machines -Parts of electronic toys

However, certain goods will become cheaper as the government has slashed the customs duty and they are:-

-Camera lens for cellular mobile phone.
