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.

HS (Harmonised System) codes are 6-digit international product classification codes. In India, the ITC-HS code is 8 digits. In the EU, the CN (Combined Nomenclature) is 8 digits; TARIC is 10 digits. To find your HS code: (1) search the CBIC ICEGATE HS browser (icegate.gov.in), (2) check ITC-HS at DGFT website, (3) search EU TARIC at trade.ec.europa.eu/access-to-markets. Correct HS code is the first step for any export.
What is factoring and is it available for India-EU trade?
Export factoring allows Indian exporters to sell their export invoices (accounts receivable) to a factor at a discount, receiving immediate cash instead of waiting for the EU buyer to pay. Two-factor system: Indian export factor purchases the invoice and bears the buyer credit risk; EU import factor collects payment from the EU buyer. Available via FCI (Factors Chain International) member institutions in India and EU.
How do I get a Certificate of Origin?
