India–New Zealand customs cooperation was reported on 21 October. The topic links digital exchange of origin information to the use of trade preferences. Distinguish the cooperation memorandum from the trade agreement itself.
Correct answer: A — 20 October 2026. 20 October is the effective date stated for the FTA. The 19 October date refers to signing the separate cooperation memorandum, while 21 October is the date of the cited report. This distinction matters because an agreement’s signing, commencement and public reporting can occur on different days. CBIC and the New Zealand Customs Service signed the electronic origin-data cooperation memorandum on 19 October 2026. The associated FTA entered into force on 20 October. The arrangement supports information exchange for goods trade; the PIB report was published on 21 October. Official source: Press Information Bureau
