Overview

TradePolicy,Navigated

India's Foreign Trade Policy promotes exports through incentives, simplified procedures, and scheme-based benefits that require strict adherence to licensing, authorisation, and periodic filing conditions.

Businesses without structured FTP compliance risk losing export incentives, facing clearance delays, and attracting regulatory action from DGFT and related authorities.

WEchartered provides end-to-end FTP advisory covering registrations, incentive eligibility, authorisation support, and dispute representation.

Frequently Asked Questions

An Importer Exporter Code is a mandatory registration issued by DGFT for businesses engaged in import or export of goods and services. It is a prerequisite for customs clearance, availing export incentives, and complying with Foreign Trade Policy obligations applicable to cross-border traders.
A Registration cum Membership Certificate is issued by Export Promotion Councils and is required to avail certain export incentive schemes and authorisations under the Foreign Trade Policy. RCMC validates a business's membership with the relevant council and is often a prerequisite for scheme applications.
Export Oriented Units and Software Technology Parks of India are schemes that allow businesses to import capital goods and raw materials duty-free in exchange for export commitments. Both schemes require regulatory approvals, ongoing compliance, and periodic performance monitoring by the relevant authorities.
Export incentives include advance authorisations, EPCG licences, duty-free import entitlements, and other scheme-based benefits designed to reduce input costs for exporters. Eligibility depends on the nature of exports, applicable scheme conditions, and compliance with documentation and performance requirements.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade administers the Foreign Trade Policy, issues authorisations and licences, oversees scheme compliance, and adjudicates disputes and violations. Representation before DGFT is required for norms fixation, relaxation requests, and appellate filings on contested matters.
Closure of export authorisations involves fulfilling and formally closing EPCG licences, advance authorisations, and other export obligation-linked approvals upon completion of prescribed export commitments, ensuring no residual duty liability or pending obligation remains with the issuing authority.
