Trade licensing
DGFT & Trade Licensing
Coordination advisory for India's foreign trade policy layer — registrations, authorizations, and DGFT processes that enable lawful import and export activity.
Overview
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade administers India's foreign trade policy. Licensing and registration decisions made at this layer determine whether your products can move lawfully and whether incentive schemes remain available over time.
We advise and coordinate on DGFT requirements. We are not a customs broker or clearing agent — we address the policy and licensing architecture that precedes and accompanies physical trade.
Advisory scope
- Importer Exporter Code (IEC) and baseline registration pathways
- Advance authorization, duty exemption, and scheme eligibility
- Export obligation and policy compliance under current FTP
- Restricted, prohibited, and sensitive category assessment
- DGFT portal processes, amendments, and documentation discipline
- Impact assessment when foreign trade policy or notifications change
Coordination approach
Engagements begin with product classification, policy fit, and registration status. We support application preparation, timeline management, and alignment of licensing outcomes with your broader import/export structure and banking documentation.
