Frequently asked — Whitby

What information do I need to submit a mandate?

For a seller mandate: product name, HS code (if known), quantity available, certifications held (ISO, GMP, CE, etc.), preferred Incoterm, target markets. For a buyer mandate: product specification, quantity required, frequency, budget range, quality certifications required, preferred origin country, preferred payment terms.

Can both a buyer and a seller submit mandates for the same product?

Yes — and this is AJG' most efficient route. When a buyer mandate and a seller mandate match (same product, compatible volumes, compatible quality specs and certifications), AJG can work both simultaneously, accelerating the matching process.

What are Rules of Origin and how do I comply?

Rules of Origin (RoO) determine whether a product qualifies as sufficiently made in India to claim FTA preference. Most India FTAs use: (a) Change in Tariff Classification (CTC) — the HS code must change through Indian processing, or (b) Regional Value Content (RVC) — typically 35-40% of the product value must be Indian. AJG' FTA Savings Estimator tool calculates your RoO eligibility.

What is the India-UK FTA status?

India-UK FTA negotiations were launched in January 2022. As of 2026, negotiations are in advanced stages with most chapters substantially complete. Key issues: Indian IT professionals (Mode 4 visas), Scotch whisky tariff (India currently 150%), UK automotive tariff on Indian cars, and dairy. Conclusion expected in 2025-2026.

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 Binding Tariff Information (BTI)?

BTI is an official EU customs decision providing a legally binding classification of your specific product under the EU tariff nomenclature. Valid for 3 years across all EU member states. Apply through any EU member state customs authority (e.g., HMRC in UK pre-Brexit, or Dutch Customs if entering via Rotterdam). Eliminates HS code disputes at EU customs.
