Frequently asked — Gros Islet

Does AJG offer trade consulting services?
AJG does not offer paid consulting retainers. All intelligence tools, FTA calculators, lexicon, and market data on AllfrontierGlobal.com are free to registered subscribers. AJG' only paid service is the commission-only trade brokerage mandate.
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 do I calculate FTA duty savings?
Use AJG' FTA Savings Estimator tool at tools/fta-savings-estimator.php. Enter: (1) HS code of your product, (2) country of export (India), (3) country of import, (4) CIF value of shipment. The tool calculates: current MFN duty, FTA preferential duty, savings per shipment, annual savings at your projected volume, and which FTA applies.
What is duty drawback in India?
Duty Drawback (DBK) is a refund of customs duties paid on imported raw materials subsequently used in the manufacture of exported goods. Two types: (1) All Industry Rate (AIR) — published rates for broad product categories; (2) Brand Rate — specific rate calculated for your actual input costs. Claimed through shipping bill at time of export.
What is the Customs Valuation method used in EU?
EU import duties are calculated on the CIF (Cost + Insurance + Freight) value at the EU port of entry, based on the WTO Customs Valuation Agreement transaction value method. Customs value = invoice price of goods + international freight + insurance to the EU port of entry. Correct CIF declaration is critical for duty calculation.
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.
