Frequently asked — Hammarland

What is RoDTEP and how do I claim it?

RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) is India' WTO-compliant export incentive scheme refunding embedded taxes in exported goods. Rates range 0.5%-4.3% of FOB value. To claim: the RoDTEP benefit is credited to your ICEGATE ledger at the time of shipping bill processing. Use AJG' RoDTEP Finder tool to look up your rate by HS code.

What is the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) in simple terms?

CBAM is essentially a carbon import tax on certain goods entering the EU. If a steel manufacturer in India has not paid for the carbon emissions in their production process, the EU importer must purchase CBAM certificates equal to the carbon price those emissions would have attracted in the EU' own carbon market (EU ETS). From 2026, the sectors covered are: steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen. Indian manufacturers in these sectors must: (1) calculate embedded carbon in their products, (2) provide carbon data to EU importer, (3) explore low-carbon production to reduce CBAM liability.

What is FCL vs LCL shipping?

FCL (Full Container Load): you book an entire container for your cargo — 20ft (maximum ~28 CBM) or 40ft (maximum ~67 CBM). FCL is cost-effective when your cargo fills at least 70% of the container. LCL (Less than Container Load): your cargo shares a container with other shippers' cargo. LCL has a higher per-CBM rate but no minimum volume. Rule of thumb: if your cargo exceeds 15 CBM, FCL is usually cheaper than LCL.

What is the EU MRL and how do I ensure compliance?

Maximum Residue Level (MRL) is the maximum legally permitted level of pesticide residue in or on food in the EU. EU MRLs are often stricter than Codex Alimentarius standards. To ensure compliance: (1) check EU MRLs for your product and specific pesticides on the EU Pesticides Database (ec.europa.eu/pesticides), (2) use only EU-authorised pesticides during cultivation, (3) test your product at an EU-accredited laboratory (or Indian NABL-accredited lab with EU standard methods) before export, (4) keep test certificates for at least 5 years. EU Border inspection posts (BIPs) routinely test Indian agro-food for MRL compliance.

What is ESG and why is it important for Indian exporters?

ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) is a framework evaluating a company' sustainability performance. EU buyers are increasingly imposing ESG requirements on their supply chains — driven by: EU Taxonomy (green finance), CSRD (sustainability reporting), CSDDD (due diligence), EU Green Deal, and consumer demand for sustainable products. Indian exporters who cannot demonstrate ESG compliance risk losing EU contracts as sustainability becomes a procurement criterion.

What is the EU Taxonomy and does it affect Indian companies?

EU Taxonomy is a classification system determining which economic activities are environmentally sustainable. Directly affects Indian companies: (1) EU investors subject to Taxonomy must report what % of investments are Taxonomy-aligned — affecting FDI into Indian companies, (2) EU companies in supply chains must report Taxonomy-aligned revenues — Indian suppliers must provide relevant data, (3) Indian renewable energy companies seeking EU green financing must demonstrate Taxonomy alignment. Most relevant to: green energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, transport sectors.
