His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom undertake, in respect of the goods the growth, produce or manufacture of India enumerated in Schedule I to this Agreement, that the difference between the rates of the duties of customs on such goods on importa- tion into the United Kingdom when consigned from any part of the British Empire and the rates upon similar goods the growth, produce or manufacture of any foreign country shall not be less than the rates set out in that schedule.
ARTICLE 3
His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom undertake that, in the event of any greater preference than the preference accorded by this Agreement being accorded in respect of goods of the kinds specified in Schedule I the growth, produce or manufacture of any
other part of the British Empire, such greater preference will be extended to similar goods grown, produced or manufactured in India and consigned from any part of the British Empire.
