India almond quota

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry manages 5 tariff rate quotas put in place by the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (AI-ECTA), including an annual quota for almonds of 34,000 tonnes.

Access to the quota is on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis until the available quota amount has been exhausted.

Exporters can use the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade tariff portal to find the current tariff rate applying to their product and to compare the tariff reduction received under the AI-ECTA agreement.

Key dates to remember

  • 1 January - Quota year commences
  • 31 December - Quota year finishes

Current Quota usage

The quota usage tables show the total quantity of quota used by Australia for AI-ECTA products. The tables are updated regularly.

Check out the current quota usage for India almonds.

Apply for an AI-ECTA quota certificate for almonds

Exporters will need to apply to export almonds to India at the reduced tariff rate.

To apply for a quota certificate an exporter must:

  • lodge a request for permit (RFP) through the department’s electronic documentation system, EXDOC
  • complete and submit the AI-ECTA almonds TRQ certificate application using the online submit button on the last page of the form.

Tariff rate quota certificate application (PDF 237 KB)

If you have difficulty accessing these files, contact the Quota Admin team for assistance.

Once we have approved the application, we will email the quota certificate to the email address provided on the completed TRQ certificate application. AI-ECTA quota certificates cannot be amended so if there is a change to the exporter, importer, product type or quantity of the shipment after the certificate has been issued the existing certificate may need to be cancelled and a replacement certificate issued. Contact Quota Admin if there is a change to any details on the certificate.

Note: Quota administration is cost recovered on a per certificate basis in accordance with the Export Charges (Imposition-General) Regulation 2021 and the Export Control (Fees and Payments) Rules 2021. Exporters are invoiced monthly for any quota certificates issued. The current cost recovered amount is $84 per certificate issued.
