The Trade in Goods Agreement (henceforth "the Agreement") between the members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and India, is ASEAN's seventh regional trade agreement (RTA) and India's 13 th RTA as notified to the WTO. 2 1.2. The ASEAN countries' ranking in world merchandise exports and imports ranged from 9 th largest exporter and 1 th largest importer of goods for Singapore, to 11 and 115 respectively for Lao PDR in 214. (excluding intra-eu trade). In the same year India's ranking in world exports was 13 th and 8 th for imports (Table 1.1). India's exports and imports are dominated by manufactures (68.4% and 47.8% of exports and imports) and fuels and minerals (15.7% and 33.1% of exports and imports in 215). The ASEAN countries' exports and imports are dominated by manufactured products (as high as 81.4% of exports for Viet Nam and 66.1% of exports for Cambodia and 69.4% of Viet Nam's imports and 75% of Brunei's imports) although fuels and minerals play an important role for some members, notably in exports for Brunei (89.6% of total exports) and for yanmar (43.8% of exports) and in imports for Singapore (23.5% of its total imports). 3 Table 1.1 ASEAN member states and India's merchandise trade profiles in 214 Population (million) Value (billion US$) Exports Share in World Total Rank Value (billion US$) Imports Share in World Total Rank Trade to GDP ratio (212-214) ASEAN Brunei.4 1.5.6 67 3.6.2 113 17.3 112 Darussalam Cambodia 15.4 1.8.6 66 13.5.7 65 16.7 137.5 Indonesia 252.8 176.3.93 2 178.2.93 2 888.5 45.7 Lao PDR 6.9 2.7.1 11 3.3.2 115 11.8 62.1 alaysia 3.2 234.1 1.23 17 28.9 1.9 19 326.9 157.3 yanmar 53.7 11..6 64 16.2.8 61 62.8 34.1 Philippines 1.1 62.1.33 37 67.5.35 27 284.6 55.5 Singapore 5.5 49.8 2.16 9 366.2 1.92 1 37.9 359.3 Thailand 67.2 227.6 1.2 18 228. 1.19 18 373.8 145.2 1 Unless otherwise indicated, the data in this section are based on the WTO and trade profiles and the UNSD Comtrade Database. 2 Prior to notifying this Agreement, ASEAN notified agreements with Korea, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the General System of Trade preferences (GSTP) and the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA). India's previous notifications are of agreements with Sri Lanka, Singapore, Bhutan, Chile, ERCOSUR, Afghanistan, Korea, Nepal, as well as the GSTP, the South Asian Preferential Trade Agreement (SAPTA), the South Asian Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) and the Asia-Pacific Trade Agreement (APTA). 3 No information on the breakdown of trade by broad sector was available for Lao PDR.

Source: WTO Statistics Database, Trade Profiles (September 215). 1.3. The Parties' recent trends in global and bilateral exports and imports are shown in Charts 1.1 and 1.2 below. While Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, alaysia, the Philippines and Singapore maintained an overall steady surplus in their global trade during this period due to continuous growth in both exports and imports except for a decline in both during the 28 economic crisis, merchandise trade for Lao PDR and yanmar has been more volatiie during this period, with a recent increase in their trade deficits. Viet Nam had a smaller deficit while Thailand's global merchandise position has been balanced for much of this period. India's trade deficit has broadened since 24 mainly as global imports have outpaced exports. 1.4. In their bilateral trade which grew steadily during this period, all ASEAN countries maintained a trade surplus with India except Cambodia, Thailand and Viet Nam which had trade deficits. India's largest ASEAN trading partners during this period were Singapore, Indonesia, alaysia and Viet Nam for its exports and Indonesia, alaysia, Singapore and Thailand for imports. 1.5. Chart 1.3 shows the Parties's bilateral and global trade by broad HS section categories. India's four largest global exports are minerals, precious stones, chemicals, and textiles, which accounted for 67% of its total exports. Of these products, minerals, chemicals and textiles are also important imports from India by Cambodia (accounting for 77.9% of its total imports from India) while minerals and chemicals, along with base metals, machinery and prepared food imports accounted for 77.8% of Indonesia's imports from India. Chemicals and minerals are also key imports for alaysia from India, which along with base metals and vegetables account for 64.7% of alaysia's imports from India. Chemicals and base metals account for almost 6% of the Philippines' imports from India which also imports machinery and vehicles while minerals account for almost 6% of Singapore's imports from India followed by precious stones and machinery. Of India's main exports, precious stones and chemicals, along with base metals are the three most important imports by Thailand from India (52.7%) while Viet Nam mainly imports prepared foods, chemicals, machinery and base metals (75.2% of total imports) from India. 1.6. There is significant similarity in ASEAN global exports and India's main imports from these countries. achinery is an important global export for several ASEAN countries, most notably Philippines, Singapore, alaysia and Thailand, and machinery is also an important import from these countries for India. Similarly minerals are important exports for Indonesia and Viet Nam and also form an important share of Indian imports from these countries. inerals are also an important Indian import from alaysia whose global exports of minerals account for 16% of alaysia's total exports, while they account for almost 9% of India's imports from Brunei. Finally vegetable oils are also an important import from Indonesia and especially Cambodia although Cambodia's global exports are dominated by textiles.

Brunei Darussalam retains s mainly on industrial products (HS 25-97) with Chapters 9 and 21 also remaining subject to duties. The s range from 4.1% in HS 91 (optical instruments) to 2% in HS 36 (explosives) and 73 (iron and steel articles). any final average preferential s are equivalent to the corresponding FN average but there are Chapters for which preferential rates which are lower than the FN rate are offered. Thus in Chapters 33, 34, 43, 44, 57, 64, 7, 71, 84, 85, 9-92, and 94-96 additional preferential reductions are offered by Brunei to India. 3.29.

Similarly, while Lao PDR retains s across many HS Chapters once the Agreement is implemented (except HS 11, 18, 23, 25-26, 31, 35, 37-38, 45, 47, 51, 53-55, 57-62, 64, 68, 7-71, 74-75, 77-78, 81, and 86) the average preferential rate is lower than the corresponding FN average for most Chapters (except for in Chapters 1, 28, 29, 72, 73, 76, 82, 93 and 97 where it is equivalent to the FN average for corresponding ) thus providing additional preferential access for imports from India.
