Frequently asked — Ḩisbān

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 are the main export ports in India?
Major Indian export ports for EU trade: (1) Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT/Nhava Sheva), Navi Mumbai — 55%+ of India' container trade, (2) Mundra Port (Adani), Gujarat — fastest-growing, pharma, chemicals, engineering, (3) Chennai Port, Tamil Nadu — auto components, textiles, engineering, (4) Kolkata/Haldia Port — eastern India trade, Bangladesh corridor, (5) Cochin Port, Kerala — spices, agro-food, coconut products, (6) Visakhapatnam Port, Andhra Pradesh — steel, chemicals, agro.
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?
EU Blue Card is a work permit for highly qualified non-EU workers (including Indian nationals) to work in EU member states. Requirements: (1) job offer from EU employer, (2) minimum salary threshold (varies by country — typically EUR 45,000-60,000 annually), (3) university degree or 5 years of professional experience. EU Blue Card allows mobility across EU member states after 18 months. Most popular for Indian IT, engineering, and management professionals. Germany is the largest EU Blue Card issuer for Indian nationals.
