Trade across borders, compliant from the first shipment

An IEC issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade is mandatory for any business engaged in import or export. Without a valid IEC, international trade cannot legally be undertaken.

We handle the documentation, online application, verification and post-registration formalities, along with modifications and updates to an existing IEC, and advise on the compliance that follows registration.

The DGFT regulates India's import-export policy and administers the schemes and benefits available to exporters.

We handle DGFT registrations, online licensing procedures, amendments and policy compliance, and advise on the Foreign Trade Policy provisions that apply to your product and market.

Accurate documentation is the backbone of international trade — errors cause shipment delays, customs objections and financial loss.

We prepare and review commercial invoices, packing lists, shipping bills, bills of entry, certificates of origin, letter of credit documentation, purchase orders, export contracts, bills of lading, airway bills and insurance documentation, checking each against statutory requirements and international trade practice.

Exports are zero-rated, but the mechanism matters: export under a Letter of Undertaking without payment of IGST, or export with payment and refund afterwards. The choice affects your working capital significantly.

We handle GST registration for exporters, LUT filing, refund applications and departmental follow-up, input tax credit on export supplies, and the tax treatment of export incentives.

Cross-border payments and receipts are governed by the Foreign Exchange Management Act and RBI regulation. Export proceeds must be realised within prescribed periods; import payments and remittances carry their own documentation.

We advise on export realisation, import payments, foreign remittances, banking documentation and regulatory reporting, and coordinate with your authorised dealer bank where required.

The Government of India operates several export promotion schemes. Eligibility and documentation requirements vary by scheme, product and market, and they change.

We advise on which schemes apply to you, what documentation each requires, and coordinate with the relevant authorities on the claim.

For businesses entering global markets, we put the whole framework in place at once: business registration, IEC, GST registration, MSME registration, PAN and TAN, accounting setup, banking documentation, a compliance calendar and a tax plan that accounts for export treatment from day one.

International trade requires continuous compliance as policy changes. Our annual retainership covers policy updates that affect you, documentation assistance, taxation support and statutory compliance across the year.
