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.
Does AJG handle the entire trade transaction?
AJG' mandate scope covers: counterparty identification, introduction, negotiation facilitation, documentation guidance, FTA route optimisation, regulatory compliance guidance, and payment structure recommendation. Physical logistics, legal contracts, and banking are handled by the principals' own service providers.
How do I claim FTA preferential duty on my exports?
To claim FTA preferential duty: (1) obtain a Certificate of Origin (COO) from your authorised issuing body (EEPC for engineering, APEDA for agro, FIEO for general), (2) ensure your product meets the FTA Rules of Origin (typically 35-40% domestic value addition), (3) declare the COO on the import entry in the destination country, (4) the importer presents the COO to their customs authority to claim the preferential duty rate.
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.
How does the India-ASEAN FTA work?
India-ASEAN AIFTA (in force 2010) provides preferential tariff rates between India and 10 ASEAN nations. India exporters to ASEAN pay reduced or zero duty on goods meeting 35% ASEAN/India regional value content. The FTA covers goods; a separate services agreement covers IT and professional services. ASEAN nations covered: Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei.
