Frequently asked — Arima

Can AJG represent my company in trade negotiations?
AJG facilitates trade introductions and mandates but does not act as a legal representative or agent with power of attorney. AJG connects principals, coordinates documentation, and structures the trade transaction — but each principal retains their own legal counsel for contract finalisation.
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 an FTA and why does it matter?
A Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is a treaty between countries to eliminate or reduce import tariffs and other trade barriers. For Indian exporters, an FTA means goods can enter the partner country at 0% or reduced duty instead of the standard MFN tariff — directly improving price competitiveness. AJG optimises every mandate to use applicable FTA routes.
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 is Binding Tariff Information (BTI)?
BTI is an official EU customs decision providing a legally binding classification of your specific product under the EU tariff nomenclature. Valid for 3 years across all EU member states. Apply through any EU member state customs authority (e.g., HMRC in UK pre-Brexit, or Dutch Customs if entering via Rotterdam). Eliminates HS code disputes at EU customs.
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.
