Frequently asked — Kélibia

What is an FTA and why does it matter?
A Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is a treaty between countries to eliminate or reduce import tariffs and other trade barriers. For Indian exporters, an FTA means goods can enter the partner country at 0% or reduced duty instead of the standard MFN tariff — directly improving price competitiveness. AJG optimises every mandate to use applicable FTA routes.
What is the India-UAE CEPA and what does it cover?
India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement entered into force on 1 May 2022. It covers: goods (97.99% of tariff lines at 0% for UAE imports from India), services (11 sectors including IT, professional services, financial services), and investment. For India exporters to UAE: 0% duty on most manufactured goods, pharma, engineering, agro-food, textiles.
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 the India-EFTA TEPA?
India-EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement was concluded in March 2024 — India' first FTA with developed-country bloc since India-Japan CEPA (2011). EFTA comprises Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein. TEPA provides 0% duty on most Indian manufactured goods. Key sectors: pharma APIs, engineering, agro-food. EFTA committed USD 100B investment in India over 15 years.
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 LUT in exports?
LUT (Letter of Undertaking) is a declaration filed by an Indian exporter with GSTN to export goods and services without paying IGST (Integrated GST). Under GST, exports are zero-rated — exporters either pay IGST and claim refund, or file LUT and export without paying IGST. LUT is the preferred method as it avoids cash flow blockage. LUT must be renewed at the start of each financial year.
