India's import and export procedures can be complex and challenging to navigate for both experienced and inexperienced traders. Therefore, it is important to consult with experts in the field to ensure that all regulations and requirements are met. In this website page, we will provide a detailed explanation of India's import-export procedures and how we consult with our clients to ensure smooth and successful transactions.
Import Procedures in India:
To import goods into India, a trader must first obtain an Import Export Code (IEC) from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The IEC is a 10-digit code that serves as a unique identification number for the importer. Once the IEC is obtained, the trader must then submit an Import Declaration Form (IDF) to the customs department, along with other required documents such as the purchase order, invoice, bill of lading, and packing list. The customs department will then process the application and determine the amount of duty and taxes payable on the imported goods. Once the duty and taxes are paid, the goods will be released for delivery.
Export Procedures in India:
To export goods from India, a trader must first obtain an IEC from the DGFT. The exporter must also obtain various other licenses and permits, depending on the nature of the goods being exported. These licenses and permits may include an Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) scheme license, a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) license, or an Advance Authorization license. Once all the necessary licenses and permits are obtained, the exporter must submit an Export Declaration Form (EDF) to the customs department, along with other required documents such as the commercial invoice, packing list, and shipping bill. The customs department will then process the application and clear the goods for shipment.
