Navigate Indian Trade Regulations With a Team That Has Seen It All.

DGFT / Trade advisory

Optimize Your Import & Export Strategies in India

Indian import-export regulations are among the most complex in the world — subject to constant policy changes, multiple regulatory bodies, and commodity-specific rules. Many businesses lose money not because their products are wrong, but because their trade strategy is not optimised for compliance and cost efficiency. We fix that.

Our consulting division, backed by three decades of regulatory tracking, works closely with your finance and supply chain teams to maximize duty incentives, ensure complete import compliance, and audit your documentation chains.

Our Core Advisory Services:

• IEC (Import Export Code) Registration: Quick filing and processing for new IEC codes, linkages to GST, and amendments.
• DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) Advisory: Policy interpretation, license applications, and export obligation discharge certifications.
• Duty Structure Analysis: Precise audits of Basic Customs Duty (BCD), IGST, Social Welfare Surcharge, and Anti-Dumping duties.
• HS Code Classification: Rigorous 8-digit ITC-HS classification to prevent misdeclarations and customs penal actions.
• Export Incentive Schemes: Support in registering and maximizing RODTEP, RoSCTL, Advance Authorisation, and EPCG benefits.
• FEMA & RBI Compliance: Assistance with banking, trade credits, collection processes, and FEMA declarations.
• Anti-Dumping & Safeguard Duty Guidance: Assessing applicability and exemptions on restricted and protected chemical or metal products.
• FTA (Free Trade Agreement) Utilisation: Maximizing duty exemptions using preferential Certificates of Origin under ASEAN, UAE, and Australia trade pacts.

Strategic Advisory on Foreign Trade Policy

The role of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) is core to import-export trade. Since 1996, our team has tracked every major policy shift in India, including the transition to computerized systems and the GST rollout. We don't just provide theoretical advice — we offer practical, actionable paths to secure licenses, discharge export obligations, and maintain clear customs accounts.
