Overview
India's Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) provides a rich array of export promotion schemes, import duty concessions, and incentive programmes that can significantly improve the economics of cross-border trade. Similarly, UAE's expanding network of Free Trade Agreements and Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreements (CEPAs) offers preferential market access that businesses can leverage with the right strategy. PCG Global guides both Indian exporters/importers and UAE-based traders through these frameworks.
