# Does India have a trade agreement with United States?

Short answer

Not yet in force. The India-US Bilateral Trade Agreement is under negotiation.

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.
