Frequently asked — Shahrān

What markets does AJG primarily serve?
Primary corridors: India-EU (27 member states), India-UAE, India-UK, India-USA, India-Singapore, India-Japan, India-Australia, India-South Africa, India-East Africa. AJG can facilitate trade across all 185 countries and 273 FTAs indexed on the platform, but these primary corridors are the deepest expertise.
What is CBAM and how does it affect Indian exports to EU?
Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is an EU carbon price on imports of carbon-intensive goods: steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen. Importers must purchase CBAM certificates equivalent to the embedded carbon cost in the imported goods. CBAM transitional period: 2023-2025 (reporting only). Full effect: from 1 January 2026. Indian steel and aluminium exporters to EU face a significant cost unless they can demonstrate low-carbon production.
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.
What is TARIC and how do I use it?
TARIC (Tariff Integré Communautaire) is the EU' integrated customs tariff database at trade.ec.europa.eu/access-to-markets. It provides 10-digit commodity codes for all goods entering the EU, plus all applicable measures: MFN tariff rate, GSP preferential rate, anti-dumping duties, tariff rate quotas, safeguard measures, and import prohibitions. Use TARIC to verify the exact duty on your Indian goods entering EU.
What is anti-dumping duty and does it affect my exports?
Anti-dumping duty (ADD) is an additional customs duty imposed on goods sold below their normal value (dumped) in the importing country. EU has imposed anti-dumping measures on some Indian exports — check the EU TARIC database for any ADD applicable to your HS code. Common EU anti-dumping measures on Indian goods: stainless steel, certain chemicals, ceramic tiles.
What are the most common LC discrepancies?
Common discrepancies that cause LC rejection: (1) Late presentation (documents presented after LC expiry or after 21 days of shipment date), (2) Description of goods does not match exactly, (3) Short shipment (quantity less than LC amount), (4) Missing endorsement on B/L, (5) Insurance cover insufficient or incorrect currency, (6) Inconsistency across documents (invoice and packing list amounts differ). Always use an experienced customs house agent to prepare documents.
