Frequently asked — Ashaiman

How does AJG make money if it charges no upfront fees?
AJG earns commission only on completed trades. The commission rate is negotiated with each principal at mandate acceptance. Typical commission ranges: 1-3% on high-volume commodity trades, 2-5% on manufactured goods, 5-10% on high-value niche or speciality goods. Both buyer and seller principals agree to commission terms in writing before AJG begins working the mandate.
How do I subscribe to AJG Intelligence?
Subscribe at subscribe.php. AJG Intelligence provides weekly trade intelligence digests, vertical-of-the-week spotlights, FTA update alerts, CBAM impact briefings, and monthly data releases. Free for registered subscribers.
How does AJG verify my counterparty?
AJG conducts standard due diligence including: business registration verification, sanctions screening (OFAC, EU, UN lists), Dun & Bradstreet credit check, bank reference check, and ECGC/Coface country and buyer risk assessment. For high-value mandates, AJG requires audited financial statements from the counterparty.
What happens if a deal does not close?
If a mandate does not result in a completed trade transaction, AJG earns no commission. There is no cancellation fee or break-up cost. AJG reserves the right to withdraw from a mandate if it determines the mandate is not commercially viable, the principals are not acting in good faith, or regulatory barriers make completion impossible.
Can I mandate AJG to find a buyer in multiple countries simultaneously?
Yes. A multi-country mandate is priced with a higher commission rate to reflect the additional complexity and the value of multi-market access. AJG will specify which markets are covered in the mandate agreement.
What are Rules of Origin and how do I comply?
Rules of Origin (RoO) determine whether a product qualifies as sufficiently made in India to claim FTA preference. Most India FTAs use: (a) Change in Tariff Classification (CTC) — the HS code must change through Indian processing, or (b) Regional Value Content (RVC) — typically 35-40% of the product value must be Indian. AJG' FTA Savings Estimator tool calculates your RoO eligibility.
