Frequently asked — Paços de Ferreira

How does AJG make money if it charges no upfront fees?
AJG earns commission only on completed trades. The commission rate is negotiated with each principal at mandate acceptance. Typical commission ranges: 1-3% on high-volume commodity trades, 2-5% on manufactured goods, 5-10% on high-value niche or speciality goods. Both buyer and seller principals agree to commission terms in writing before AJG begins working the mandate.
How do I submit a mandate?
Submit a mandate at mandate-submit.php. Provide: (1) your role (buyer or seller), (2) product description and HS code if known, (3) quantity and frequency, (4) target market or source country, (5) your requirements (certifications, quality standards, payment terms). AJG will review and respond within 5 working days.
How long does a typical mandate take to complete?
Timeframe varies significantly by product and market: commodity agro-food mandates may complete in 4-8 weeks; manufactured goods mandates typically take 8-16 weeks for first shipment; pharmaceutical market entry (requiring regulatory approvals) may take 12-24 months. AJG provides a realistic timeline assessment at mandate acceptance.
Does AJG handle the entire trade transaction?
AJG' mandate scope covers: counterparty identification, introduction, negotiation facilitation, documentation guidance, FTA route optimisation, regulatory compliance guidance, and payment structure recommendation. Physical logistics, legal contracts, and banking are handled by the principals' own service providers.
What is an active mandate?
An active mandate is a mandate currently being worked by AJG — where a principal has been accepted, counterparty search is underway, and AJG is actively facilitating the connection. Active mandates are listed (in anonymised form) on active-mandates.php.
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.
