Short answer

Not yet in force. The India-New Zealand FTA is signed but not yet in force, dated 2026-04-27.

Source states entry into force 20 Oct 2026: VERIFY before publishing. A preferential duty needs a certificate of origin under the agreement, and only once it is in force. Ask our desk to check the current status with your customs broker before you ship.
