Pressure mounted to cut import duties on wine and spirits after the United States said it had joined the European Union in asking the World Trade Organization to intervene in the matter. Mariann Fischer Boel, the agriculture commissioner for the union, who was in New Delhi, was set to meet the Indian commerce minister, Kamal Nath, to press the issue. On Tuesday, the United States trade representative, Susan C. Schwab, said Washington had filed a complaint with the W.T.O. on the tariffs, which are seen abroad as unfair trade barriers. Indiaâs basic import duties of 100 percent on wine and 150 percent on spirits are within the W.T.O. limits, but federal surcharges and state-level taxes take the tariff up to 540 percent in some cases.
