The Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme is a government initiative under the Foreign Trade Policy that allows manufacturers to import capital goods at zero customs duty, provided they fulfill an export obligation.This scheme is designed to enhance India’s manufacturing competitiveness by reducing production costs and boosting exports.
The Import Export Code (IEC) is a mandatory 10-digit business identification number issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). It is essential for any business engaged in import or export activities in India. Without an IEC, businesses cannot clear shipments, receive export incentives, or conduct international trade transactions.
The Advance Authorisation Scheme (AAS) is a duty exemption scheme under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) that allows manufacturers and exporters to import raw materials and inputs duty-free for the production of export goods.
Import raw materials, components, and consumables without paying customs duty, IGST, or safeguard duty.
Lowers the overall cost of manufacturing, making exports more competitive in global markets.
Businesses must export finished goods within 18 months, offering operational flexibility.
Raw materials can also be procured locally without GST, reducing cash outflows.
Reduces financial burden as businesses don’t need to block capital in tax payments.
Beneficial for industries like textiles, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, engineering, auto components, electronics, and more.
Ideal for exporters involved in contract manufacturing for international buyers.
Available to all new and existing exporters without turnover restrictions.
Supplies under Deemed Export qualify for duty exemption under this scheme.
Certain sectors benefit from self-ratification schemes, expediting the approval process.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) regulates the export of certain items from India by categorizing them as Restricted. Exporting these items requires obtaining a specific license from the DGFT.
DGFT's ITC (HS) Classification: The DGFT provides a detailed list of restricted items in the Indian Trade Classification (Harmonized System). You can access this list on the DGFT's official website.dgft.gov.in.
Navigating the export regulations for restricted items can be complex. Professional consultancy services can assist exporters in:
The SCOMET (Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment, and Technologies) License is required for the export of sensitive and dual-use items that have potential military or strategic applications. These items are regulated under India's Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) to ensure they are not misused and comply with global non-proliferation commitments.
The Restricted/Negative License is required for the export of items that are listed as restricted under the Indian Trade Classification (ITC-HS) Export Policy by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), Delhi. These items cannot be freely exported and require special authorization from the DGFT.
Transferable Licenses under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) allow exporters to trade their unutilized duty exemption benefits with other businesses. These licenses help both buyers and sellers optimize costs and enhance profitability in international trade.
The Policy Relaxation Committee (PRC) under the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) is responsible for granting exemptions, waivers, and relaxations in cases where exporters face difficulties in fulfilling certain provisions of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP).
Exporters require PRC services when they need special approvals for non-compliance issues, procedural difficulties, or unforeseen challenges in meeting their export obligations eg: Extension of Export Obligation Period/ Waiver of Penalties & Composition Fees/ Amendments /Conversion of Free Shipping Bills to Duty Drawback Shipping Bills / Revalidation of Expired Licenses / Relaxation in Import Conditions.
Ratification of Adhoc Norms by DGFT, Delhi is a crucial process that helps exporters who need to import raw materials under the Advance Authorisation Scheme (AAS) but whose products do not have standard Input-Output norms (SION) predefined by DGFT.
This process allows exporters to get customized duty-free import permissions based on their specific manufacturing requirements.Ensures proper approval and compliance, reducing the risk of penalties or rejections from DGFT and customs authorities. Once ratified, the norms can be used for multiple future consignments, reducing paperwork and approval time.
The Duty Drawback Scheme is a government export incentive that allows exporters to claim a refund on customs and excise duties paid on imported raw materials or inputs used in manufacturing export goods. This scheme is aimed at enhancing India’s export competitiveness by reducing production costs. Helps exporters reduce production costs, making Indian goods more competitive in global markets / Enhances Cash Flow. Benefits textiles, leather, engineering, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, automotive, electronics, and more.
