A landmark trade agreement between the European Union and India is taking shape. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is what it means for businesses operating across this strategic corridor \u2014 and how Broekman Logistics supports you every step of the way.<\/p>\n

The European Union and India have recently reached an agreement in principle on a broad free trade deal. At Broekman Logistics we applaud this deal and welcome it with great excitement: The agreement is intended to make the movement of goods and services between both markets structurally easier, including tariff reductions, improved market access and new arrangements for services and mobility.<\/p>\n

With our strong presence in India for over 20 years, we understand that this deal will open many possibilities for producers in both the EU and India, but it will also raise new questions about impact on customs. The formal detailing, ratification and implementation are still to follow. Current expectations point to an entry into force between 2026 and 2027, with specific customs and tariff provisions to be further defined in the coming period.<\/p>\n

At Broekman Logistics, we monitor these developments closely. The Benelux, and Central Europe to India trade lane has been a cornerstone of our network for many years. With strong logistics and customs expertise across the Benelux and Poland, Czech Republic and Slovakia, combined with an extensive office network of 18 locations in all major logistics hubs in India, we support businesses operating between these markets every day.<\/p>\n
