Frequently asked — Karak

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.
Can AJG handle mandates for small quantities?
AJG focuses on commercially viable mandates. Minimum mandate value: USD 50,000 per transaction. For SME exporters, AJG recommends consolidating with other exporters under a group mandate or participating in the AJG Academy to build export readiness first.
How does AJG verify my counterparty?
AJG conducts standard due diligence including: business registration verification, sanctions screening (OFAC, EU, UN lists), Dun & Bradstreet credit check, bank reference check, and ECGC/Coface country and buyer risk assessment. For high-value mandates, AJG requires audited financial statements from the counterparty.
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.
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.
What is anti-dumping duty and does it affect my exports?
