June 9 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. failed to prove that Indian duties on alcohol imports discriminate against products such as Brown-Forman Corp.'s Jack Daniels whiskey, World Trade Organization judges said, after changes to Indian import rules.
``The U.S. has failed to establish that the additional duty on alcoholic liquor is inconsistent'' with Indian commitments at the WTO, judges said in a 182-page report issued today from Geneva. In response to a complaint by the European Union, India trimmed the levies to 150 percent last year.
