DGFT provides several export promotion schemes that allow manufacturers and exporters to import capital goods or raw materials at zero or reduced customs duty. The two most widely used are EPCG (Export Promotion Capital Goods) and Advance Authorization.

These schemes come with strict eligibility, documentation, and export obligations. Errors in applications or non-compliance lead to penalties, demand notices, and cancellation of benefits. We help businesses apply correctly, maintain compliance records, and close licenses without risk.

Key DGFT Schemes We Handle

EPCG License (Zero Duty on Capital Goods):
Import machinery, equipment, and technology at zero customs duty in exchange for export obligations over a 6-year period.

Advance Authorization (Duty-Free Raw Materials):
Import raw materials, components, packing materials, and consumables duty-free for manufacturing export goods.

Amendments & Modifications:
Changes in value, quantity, description, or export details.

Redemption & Closure:
EODC filing, export proof submission, and license closure to avoid penalties.

Status Holder Certification:
Obtain exporter recognition (One-Star to Five-Star).

Why DGFT Licensing Needs Expertise

DGFT filings require technical details—HS codes, SION norms, export product mapping, machinery specifications, and value calculations. Incorrect entries trigger queries, delays, and compliance issues during audits.
