Frequently asked — Mabombo

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.
What is the EPCG scheme?
Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) scheme allows Indian exporters to import capital goods (machinery, equipment) at 0% customs duty, subject to an export obligation of 6x the CIF value of the imported capital goods over 6 years. Managed by DGFT. Ideal for Indian manufacturers investing in EU-standard machinery to improve export product quality.
What is ECGC and how does it protect Indian exporters?
ECGC (Export Credit Guarantee Corporation of India) is the government-owned export credit insurer. ECGC provides: (1) Buyer exposure limits — ECGC assesses your EU buyer and issues a credit limit, (2) Export credit insurance — if buyer defaults, ECGC pays 60-90% of the loss, (3) Bank guarantees — allowing Indian banks to provide pre/post-shipment credit. AJG recommends ECGC cover for all new EU buyer relationships.
What payment terms should I offer EU buyers?
Standard EU buyer payment terms by product type: Consumer goods/FMCG: 30-60 day open account (for established buyers). Industrial/engineering: D/P or 30 day usance LC. Pharma/medical devices: D/P or LC, 60-90 day usance. Capital equipment: LC, 90-180 day usance or forfaiting. Always use ECGC cover for open account trade.

Register with the EPC relevant to your product vertical.

(1) Approach 2-3 FIATA-registered freight forwarders in India for quotes (FCL or LCL), (2) Compare rates, transit times, routing (direct or transshipment), and cut-off dates, (3) Book via forwarder — they handle booking with shipping line (Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd), (4) Deliver cargo to the CFS (for LCL) or ICD/port (for FCL) before the container cut-off, (5) Forwarder handles shipping bill filing through their CHA, (6) Receive B/L from shipping line (typically 5-10 days after sailing).
