Frequently asked — Tondon

What does 'both principals' mean?
AJG represents both the exporter (seller principal) and the importer (buyer principal) simultaneously. Unlike traditional brokers who represent only one side, AJG' commission-only model means our interest is aligned with completing the transaction — which benefits both parties. Full disclosure is maintained with both principals at all times.
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.
What is CPTPP and is India in it?
CPTPP (Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) is an 11-nation Asia-Pacific FTA. India is not a CPTPP member. India applied for accession consideration in 2023. CPTPP members include Japan, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Chile, Peru, Brunei, and UK (joined 2024). CPTPP membership would significantly boost India' trade with Asia-Pacific.
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 AEO and why should I get it?
Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) is India' trusted trader programme issued by CBIC. AEO-certified exporters benefit from: faster customs clearance, self-sealing of containers, priority examination, reduced examination frequency. EU has a similar AEO programme. India-EU Mutual Recognition of AEO (expected in India-EU FTA) will allow Indian AEO exporters to get EU Green Lane treatment at EU ports.
What is a Free Trade Zone and can I use it?
Free Trade Zones (FTZs) are designated areas where goods can be imported, stored, or manufactured free from customs duties until they are declared for domestic use or re-export. Key FTZs relevant to India trade: Jebel Ali FTZ (UAE), Singapore FTZ, Nhava Sheva FTZ (India). Used for re-packaging, consolidation, or triangular trade structures.
