What is a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) Certificate?
Give your international buyers a financial reason to choose your products.
An FTA Certificate (formally known as a Preferential Certificate of Origin) is an official document proving that your exported goods were manufactured in India.
Because the Indian government has signed Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with several countries (like the UAE, Australia, and ASEAN nations), your buyers in those countries can use this certificate to claim zero or reduced import customs duty. This makes your Bhadohi carpets or Varanasi textiles much cheaper for the buyer, giving you a massive competitive advantage.
