Import Export Code (IEC) Registration

An IEC is a 10-digit code issued by DGFT that is mandatory for any business importing or exporting goods or services from India. Without it, customs will not clear your shipment. Legalkarobar.com prepares and files the application against your PAN, address proof, and bank details.

  • Filed online with DGFT, no physical visit required
  • Typically issued in 1–3 working days
  • Lifetime validity, with annual online confirmation
  • Required before any customs clearance

DGFT Licensing & Liaison

Certain goods classified as restricted or regulated under India's Foreign Trade Policy need an additional DGFT license or authorisation beyond the IEC. Legalkarobar.com identifies whether your product falls into this category and manages the licensing and DGFT liaison.

  • Restricted and regulated goods classification check
  • Additional DGFT authorisation filed where required
  • Ongoing liaison with the regional DGFT office
  • Guidance on SCOMET and other special categories

HS Code Classification & Import Documentation

Getting the HS code wrong is one of the most common causes of customs delay and duty disputes. Legalkarobar.com classifies your product correctly against the Harmonized System and prepares the import documentation customs expects to see.

  • Correct HS code classification for your product
  • Bill of Entry and import documentation prepared
  • Duty rate and applicable exemption checked upfront
  • Reduces the risk of customs delay or query

Export Incentive Schemes

Duty Drawback refunds customs duty paid on inputs used in exported goods, and RoDTEP reimburses embedded taxes not otherwise refunded — both can meaningfully improve export margins if you're not already claiming them. Legalkarobar.com assesses eligibility and files the claims.

  • Duty Drawback eligibility assessment and filing
  • RoDTEP scrip claim and utilisation guidance
  • Scheme eligibility reviewed against your product category
  • Coordinated with your shipping bill filing

Foreign Trade Policy & FEMA Advisory

Cross-border trade payments trigger FEMA reporting obligations alongside Foreign Trade Policy compliance — export realisation timelines, advance payment rules, and RBI reporting all apply. Legalkarobar.com advises on both together so nothing falls through the gap.

  • Foreign Trade Policy compliance review
  • FEMA reporting for export/import payments
  • Export realisation timeline tracking
  • RBI reporting coordination where required

GST & Customs Compliance for Trade

Imports attract IGST at customs, and most exporters register for GST to claim input tax credit or file under a Letter of Undertaking for zero-rated exports. Legalkarobar.com coordinates your GST and IEC registration together so your trade filings stay consistent.

  • GST registration coordinated with your IEC
  • Letter of Undertaking (LUT) filing for zero-rated exports
  • Input tax credit guidance on imports
  • Ongoing GST return filing for trading businesses
