Foreign Trade Policy

DGFT services & trade authorisations

Many exporters can cut costs significantly through India’s Foreign Trade Policy schemes, but only if the authorisations are obtained, registered and used correctly. Jaagruthi Logistics provides end-to-end procedural support and liaison with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade.

Importer-Exporter Code (IEC)

An IEC is generally required for import and export business in India. We help with new applications and updates.

Advance Authorisation

Advance Authorisation allows duty-free import of inputs that are physically incorporated into export products, against an export obligation. We support the application, registration at the port of import and the procedural steps that follow.

EPCG (Export Promotion Capital Goods)

The EPCG scheme allows capital goods for export production to be imported at zero customs duty, against a specified export obligation. We help with the authorisation, port registration and related customs procedures.

Port registration of authorisations

An authorisation must be registered at the customs port before it can be used. We handle this registration so that imports under the scheme clear without hold-ups.

SEZ unit setup & approvals

We guide entrepreneurs setting up new units in Special Economic Zones, including the approvals and liaison with the authorities involved.

Frequently asked questions

Under the current Foreign Trade Policy, the standard export obligation is generally six times the duty saved on the capital goods, to be fulfilled within six years. Some categories qualify for reduced obligations. We will confirm the conditions that apply to your case.

Yes. We register the authorisation at the port and file the import declarations against it, so that duty benefits are applied correctly.
