Frequently asked — Dhībān

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.
Why did India not join RCEP?
India withdrew from RCEP negotiations in November 2019 citing: (1) concerns about Chinese goods surge through the 0% tariff route, (2) inadequate service sector commitments (no meaningful Mode 4 provisions), (3) data localisation and e-commerce provisions, (4) structural trade deficit with multiple RCEP members. India is considering re-joining as conditions evolve.
What is CPTPP and is India in it?
CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) is an 11-nation Asia-Pacific FTA. India is not a CPTPP member. India applied for accession consideration in 2023. CPTPP members include Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Chile, Peru, Brunei, and UK (joined 2024). CPTPP membership would significantly boost India' trade with Asia-Pacific.

What is a multimodal Bill of Lading?
A Multimodal (or Combined Transport) Bill of Lading is issued when goods travel under a single contract covering more than one mode of transport — e.g., road from factory to Indian port, then sea to Rotterdam, then road to German buyer. The multimodal transport operator (MTO) issues a FIATA Multimodal Transport B/L (FBL) covering the entire journey under a single document. Useful for door-to-door India-EU shipments.
What is the EU Blue Card and how does it help Indian IT professionals?
