Frequently asked — Wageningen

What FTAs does India currently have in force?
India' primary active FTAs include: India-UAE CEPA (2022), India-Australia ECTA (2022), India-Japan CEPA (2011), India-South Korea CEPA (2010), India-Singapore CECA (2005), India-Malaysia CECA (2011), India-ASEAN AIFTA (2010), India-Sri Lanka FTA (2000), India-Mauritius CECPA (2021), India-EFTA TEPA (2024), and India-Nepal/Bhutan trade treaties. The full list of 273 FTAs is at ftas.php.
What is CSRD and how does it affect Indian exporters?
CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) requires large EU companies to report on sustainability impacts, risks, and opportunities — including throughout their supply chains. For Indian exporters: EU buyers subject to CSRD will require Indian suppliers to provide data on: carbon emissions (Scope 1, 2, 3), labour practices, supply chain due diligence, health and safety, and diversity. CSRD applies to large EU companies (500+ employees) from 2025, expanding to mid-size companies by 2026.
How long does sea freight from India to Europe take?
Sea freight transit times from Indian ports to EU ports: JNPT/Mundra to Rotterdam (Netherlands): 22-28 days. JNPT to Hamburg (Germany): 24-30 days. JNPT to Antwerp (Belgium): 22-27 days. Chennai to Felixstowe (UK): 22-26 days. Times vary by shipping line, routing (via Suez Canal or Cape of Good Hope in Red Sea disruption), and transshipment at Colombo, Jebel Ali, or Port Klang.
What insurance should I take on India-EU shipments?
Recommended: Institute Cargo Clauses A (ICC-A) — the broadest all-risks marine cargo cover. ICC-A covers all risks of loss or damage except war, strikes, inherent vice, and deliberate damage. For high-value cargo (pharma, gems, electronics): ICC-A plus War Risk cover (separate endorsement) plus Strike, Riots and Civil Commotions (SRCC). Insure for CIF value + 10% (standard practice). Note: CIP Incoterm requires ICC-A minimum; CIF Incoterm only requires ICC-C minimum — always upgrade to ICC-A.
What is the Red Sea disruption and how does it affect India-EU shipping?
Red Sea disruptions (from late 2023) caused by Houthi attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea caused most shipping lines to reroute via the Cape of Good Hope (around Africa), adding 10-14 days to India-EU transit times and significantly increasing freight rates. As of 2026, many shipments still use the Cape route. Check current routing with your freight forwarder and budget for extended transit times and higher rates.
What is ESG and why is it important for Indian exporters?
ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) is a framework evaluating a company' sustainability performance. EU buyers are increasingly imposing ESG requirements on their supply chains — driven by: EU Taxonomy (green finance), CSRD (sustainability reporting), CSDDD (due diligence), EU Green Deal, and consumer demand for sustainable products. Indian exporters who cannot demonstrate ESG compliance risk losing EU contracts as sustainability becomes a procurement criterion.
