An introduction to UK-India bilateral tariffs arrangements, rules of origin, sectoral opportunities and other areas related to business-to-business cross-border transactions.

Alinea Customs has published an in-depth report providing an assessment of the United Kingdom–India Free Trade Agreement (FTA), concluded in 2025 as part of the wider 2030 Roadmap for India–UK Future Relations.

The report examines the Agreement’s structure and scope, covering:

  • Tariff liberalisation and phased duty reductions across key sectors
  • Rules of origin and their implications for supply chain planning
  • Enhanced market access for goods, services, and investment
  • Sector-specific opportunities for UK and Indian businesses
  • Practical considerations for compliance in cross-border trade

Positioned as the most significant bilateral agreement entered into by the UK since leaving the European Union, the FTA marks a new era in trade relations. This report situates the deal within the broader international trade landscape, highlighting its strategic importance and the opportunities it presents for business-to-business transactions.
