Frequently asked — Al Lagowa

Can AJG handle mandates for small quantities?
AJG focuses on commercially viable mandates. Minimum mandate value: USD 50,000 per transaction. For SME exporters, AJG recommends consolidating with other exporters under a group mandate or participating in the AJG Academy to build export readiness first.
What is the India-EFTA TEPA?
India-EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement was concluded in March 2024 — India' first FTA with developed-country bloc since India-Japan CEPA (2011). EFTA comprises Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. TEPA provides 0% duty on most Indian manufactured goods. Key sectors: pharma APIs, engineering, agro-food. EFTA committed USD 100B investment in India over 15 years.
What payment method should I use for new EU buyers?
For new EU buyers, AJG recommends: (1) Irrevocable Confirmed Letter of Credit (LC) for orders above USD 100K, (2) Documents against Payment (D/P) for orders of USD 25K-100K, (3) 30% advance + 70% before shipment for orders below USD 25K. Avoid open account with new buyers.
What is pre-shipment finance and how do I access it?
Pre-shipment finance (packing credit) is a loan from an Indian bank to fund the procurement, production, and packaging of goods before shipment. Two types: (1) PCFC (Pre-Shipment Credit in Foreign Currency) — in USD/EUR at SOFR/EURIBOR-based rates, typically lower than INR credit; (2) Packing Credit in INR — at concessional rates for confirmed export orders. Apply with your confirmed purchase order or LC.
Can India trade in Rupees with EU?
India is promoting INR settlement for bilateral trade. An INR settlement mechanism requires: (1) EU importer opens a special INR Vostro account at an Indian bank, (2) EU importer pays in INR; Indian exporter receives INR. As of 2026, INR settlement with EU is limited — most India-EU trade remains in USD or EUR. RBI has approved INR trade with UAE, Russia, Malaysia, and several other countries.
What are the top Indian exports to UK and how will India-UK FTA help?
Top Indian exports to UK: (1) Pharmaceuticals (USD 4.8B+ annually — largest category), (2) Gems & Jewellery, (3) Machinery & Engineering, (4) Apparel & Garments, (5) Vehicles & Parts, (6) IT Services (Mode 1 digital). India-UK FTA will: eliminate UK' 12% duty on Indian garments, eliminate 7.5% duty on Indian footwear, improve Mode 4 visa provisions for Indian IT professionals, and reduce Indian duty on Scotch whisky (phased). India-UK DCTS (replacing EU GSP post-Brexit) currently provides some preferential access.
