Frequently asked — Aleppo

What is AJG' track record?
AJG is a founder-led boutique — Vinod Kumar Jain has 50+ years of direct trade experience across pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and export. The platform AllfrontierGlobal.com is the digital layer built to scale and systematise the mandate origination and intelligence operations.
How does AJG handle confidentiality?
All mandate submissions are treated as confidential. AJG does not disclose principal identities to third parties without written consent. NDAs are executed with principals on request. AJG' online systems are secured and mandate data is not shared with any third party.
What is the difference between FTA and GSP?
GSP (Generalised System of Preferences) is a unilateral preference scheme — the importing country gives India a reduced tariff as a developing country. An FTA is a bilateral negotiated agreement. GSP preferences are typically 3-12% reduction; FTA preferences are usually 0% (full elimination). India' EU GSP provides ~3.5% preference; India-EU FTA will give 0% — a major improvement.
What is an HS code and how do I find the right one?
HS (Harmonised System) codes are 6-digit international product classification codes. In India, the ITC-HS code is 8 digits. In the EU, the CN (Combined Nomenclature) is 8 digits; TARIC is 10 digits. To find your HS code: (1) search the CBIC ICEGATE HS browser (icegate.gov.in), (2) check ITC-HS at DGFT website, (3) search EU TARIC at trade.ec.europa.eu/access-to-markets. Correct HS code is the first step for any export.
What is factoring and is it available for India-EU trade?
Export factoring allows Indian exporters to sell their export invoices (accounts receivable) to a factor at a discount, receiving immediate cash instead of waiting for the EU buyer to pay. Two-factor system: Indian export factor purchases the invoice and bears the buyer credit risk; EU import factor collects payment from the EU buyer. Available via FCI (Factors Chain International) member institutions in India and EU.
How do I get a Certificate of Origin?
For India exports, COO is issued by: (1) Export Inspection Council (EIC) — for goods requiring inspection certificate, (2) Export Promotion Councils (EEPC, PHARMEXCIL, APEDA, etc.) — for sector-specific COO, (3) Chambers of Commerce (FICCI, CII, ASSOCHAM, PHD Chamber) — for general COO, (4) FIEO — Federation of Indian Export Organisations. For EU GSP preference, use Form A (being replaced by REX system). For UAE CEPA, DGFT-authorised COO required.
