The Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA) is a preferential trade pact among countries including India, China, Korea, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. Exporters from India can enjoy reduced tariffs and preferential access to these markets by obtaining an APTA Certificate of Origin. Liquetax helps exporters file and obtain APTA Certificates smoothly, ensuring faster clearances and maximum trade benefits.

An APTA Certificate is an official document issued to Indian exporters certifying that goods originate from India and are eligible for reduced duties under APTA. Without this certificate, exporters cannot claim tariff benefits in participating countries.
