DGFT Licensing & Filings in India
Foreign Trade Policy incentive and duty-exemption filings — Advance Authorisation, EPCG and RoDTEP — that lower the landed cost of cross-border trade. We assess which schemes an exporter is eligible for, prepare the authorisation or claim with its annexures, and follow it through to the scrip or authorisation being credited. NOTE ON SOURCING: the 10-Sep-2026 verification run did not cover the DGFT or the Foreign Trade Policy, so no fee, rate, benefit percentage or deadline is published on this page; the scheme terms are confirmed against the DGFT portal for each filing.
