Why Now

ECTA Makes India a More Competitive Option for AU Brands

ECTA reduces the tariff disadvantage Indian-made apparel used to carry against countries with existing trade arrangements with Australia. The remaining barrier for most small brands isn't cost — it's not having anyone on the ground in India to verify a manufacturer and manage production.

📉

Better landed cost on eligible categories

Zero-duty access on covered goods can shift the sourcing maths in India's favour compared to before the agreement.

🏭

Established garment clusters

Delhi-NCR (Noida, Gurgaon, Faridabad) has a deep base of export-oriented garment manufacturers across knits, wovens and accessories.

🔍

Verification is the real gap

Without someone in India, verifying a factory, tracking production and catching quality issues early is genuinely hard from Australia. That's the specific problem IMCOTO handles.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The India-Australia Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (ECTA) came into force on 1 January 2026 and provides zero-duty access on the large majority of traded goods, including many apparel and textile categories. Exact duty treatment depends on your product's tariff classification, so confirm the specific HS code with a customs broker before finalising your landed cost.
IMCOTO is built specifically for small and mid-sized apparel brands that don't have an in-house sourcing team in India. Most of the brands we work with fall in that range.
Most orders ship FOB from an Indian port (typically Nhava Sheva/Mumbai or Delhi ICD) or CIF to an Australian port of your choice. We confirm the exact shipping basis and lead time with your quote.
Quality checks happen before dispatch, and IMCOTO stays involved through delivery. If an issue is identified, we coordinate directly with the manufacturer on your behalf rather than leaving you to resolve it independently.
No. Sending a sourcing enquiry is free and non-binding. IMCOTO earns a commission only on completed orders.
