Frequently Asked Questions & Commercial Guidance

Institutional buyer inquiries regarding specifications, maritime shipping, minimum order quantities, and payment terms.

How do we claim duty-free concessions under AIFTA?
We submit our export paperwork to the authorized export inspection agency in India to generate an official Form A-I Certificate of Origin. Submitting this original certificate to your customs authority at the destination port unlocks preferential zero-tariff schedules.
What is the typical shipping frequency to Singapore and Malaysia?
Direct feeder and mainline vessels depart from Chennai (INMAA) and Nhava Sheva (INNSA) multiple times per week, ensuring minimal factory-to-port dwell time.
