Frequently asked — Matautu

What is the AJG Franchise model?
The AJG Franchise model allows qualified trade professionals to operate as AJG franchisees in specific geographic territories or vertical niches. Franchisees use the AJG platform, brand, and intelligence tools to originate mandates and earn a share of the commission. Details at franchise.php.
What is the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean Convention?
The PEM Convention allows diagonal cumulation of origin across 40+ countries including EU, EFTA, Turkey, and 15+ Mediterranean countries. For Indian exporters: if Indian materials are processed in any PEM-zone country, the value addition in all PEM countries can be accumulated to meet the origin requirement for another PEM country. Essential for India-EU FTA supply chain planning.
What is a Tariff Rate Quota in an FTA?
A Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) allows a specified quantity of a product to be imported at a lower (in-quota) tariff rate. Above the quota, a higher (out-of-quota) rate applies. India-EU FTA will include TRQs for sensitive agricultural products — basmati rice, spices, processed food, and potentially dairy. TRQs are typically allocated on a first-come-first-served or licensed basis.
What is an HS code and how do I find the right one?
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 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 an Advance Authorisation?
Advance Authorisation allows duty-free import of raw materials and inputs for manufacture of specific exported goods, subject to export obligation. Issued by DGFT before or after export. Common for pharma, chemicals, textiles where imported API or yarn is used in exported finished goods.
