Importing from India — Complete Guide
India is one of the world's fastest-growing export economies, with merchandise exports exceeding $450 billion annually. The country is a global leader in pharmaceutical exports (supplying 20% of the world's generic medicines), textiles, agro commodities, engineering goods, and IT services.
Importing from India offers several advantages: competitive pricing (especially for labour-intensive products), a large English-speaking supplier base, established quality certifications (ISO, FSSAI, BIS, APEDA), and improving trade infrastructure. India's free trade agreements with UAE (CEPA), Australia (ECTA), and ASEAN provide preferential duty rates for many product categories.
Key considerations when importing from India include verifying supplier credentials through DGFT's IEC database, understanding GST implications, ensuring product certifications match destination country requirements, and planning around Indian festival seasons which can affect production timelines.
