Trade agreement & duty position
No India–EU FTA is in force yet (negotiations are ongoing). Standard EU MFN tariffs apply; check whether your product still qualifies under the EU GSP scheme.
Whatever the tariff position, your certificate of origin (preferential where an agreement applies, non-preferential otherwise) is a required document. Confirm the live rate for your exact HS code with your customs broker before you quote.

Logistics
Plan the route before you price. Get real freight quotes for your lane to Germany, confirm transit time and transhipment points, and factor destination-side charges (terminal handling, customs, delivery) into a CIF or DAP quote. See choosing a freight forwarder and Incoterms 2020.
Payment & documentation
For a new buyer in Germany, use secure terms — advance payment, an irrevocable letter of credit, or documents against payment — and move to open account only with a track record. Every shipment needs the core document set plus any product-specific certificates for the destination. See export payment methods, how a letter of credit works, and the documentation checklist.
Finding buyers in Germany
Identify companies already importing your product into Germany from customs data, reach the named procurement contact, and open on the trade signal. EximHub does that end to end — how to find export buyers or what a verified importer database should give you.
