The government of India and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have established an agreement on comprehensive economic cooperation. The agreement facilitates market access and eliminates tariffs on 75% of goods traded between India and ASEAN. If you are an Indian exporter involved in shipping goods to ASEAN countries, the AIFTA Certificate of Origin is for you.
The countries involved in ASEAN are Brunei, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. However, the exporters will have to apply for an AIFTA Certificate of Origin, which is also known as the Rules of Origin.
Today, the ASEAN-India Trade in Goods Agreement has enhanced trade and investment services. To leverage the tariff concession and enjoy better market access, connect with Corpbiz for simplified AIFTA registration procedures.

The AIFTA registration offers reduced customs with seamless access to ASEAN markets. The other key benefits include:

The AIFTA registration reduces or eliminates customs duties for a wide range of goods that are traded between India and ASEAN, lowering costs and improving the price.
The ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement protects intellectual property rights for products of both countries, providing a secure environment for innovation.
Through the AIFTA registration, importers and exporters of the member countries can enjoy simplified customs procedures and expedite the clearance of goods at the border.
Most goods and products are eligible for zero or preferential customs duties, which reduces the costs and allows easier market access for over 650 million.
Under the AIFTA Certificate of Origin, the customs authorities can accept a Certificate of Origin for goods, even if the sale invoice is from a different country.
Under the ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement, Indian importers and exporters can compete better with the non-member products, therefore gaining market share.
