FTA compliance risks.

Risk Assessment Mitigation
Early Harvest Scheme is limited — only 82 lines at preference High — most trade on India-ASEAN AIFTA rates, not bilateral Use India-ASEAN AIFTA for Thailand trade; EHS is supplementary only
Full FTA negotiations stalled since 2004 — timeline uncertain Medium — no preferential access on non-EHS/AIFTA items Use India-ASEAN AIFTA as primary framework for India-Thailand bilateral trade
