Ready to source TEPA-qualified Veterinary APIs from India?
1. The Financial Advantage: 0% Custom Duty
Under the India-EFTA Trade & Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA), which became fully operational in late 2025, the trade corridor between India and the EFTA states (Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) has been revolutionized.
Old Regime
Veterinary APIs sourced from India were subject to standard MFN tariffs and complex entry barriers.
New 2026 Regime
Qualified industrial goods, including Veterinary Active Substances, now enjoy Zero-Duty Access.
Impact: This provides a direct 3%–8% reduction in landed costs, allowing EFTA-based firms to improve margins without switching to lower-quality suppliers.
2. Compliance & Rules of Origin (RoO)
To benefit from the 0% tariff, products must satisfy specific “Rules of Origin.” Bazayan ensures every shipment is audit-ready: Value Addition: We guarantee a minimum of 40% Value Addition within the Indian manufacturing facility. Chemical Reaction Rule: Our APIs qualify under the “Change in Tariff Heading” (CTH) through significant chemical synthesis in India. Direct Consignment: We manage the logistics from Mumbai (JNPT) directly to EFTA ports to maintain the integrity of the trade certificate.3. The Bazayan “Trust Pack”
