The DGFT is the regulatory body responsible for implementing India’s Foreign Trade Policy (FTP). It issues and manages the Importer Exporter Code (IEC), export promotion licenses, and incentive schemes including MEIS and SEIS.
Any business involved in the import or export of goods or services must register with DGFT to operate legally. In addition to obtaining an IEC, periodic compliance with DGFT guidelines is necessary to maintain eligibility for trade incentives, clearances, and certifications.
Import and export operations in India are governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Compliance with DGFT rules ensures that all foreign trade activities are legally valid, benefit from government incentives, and qualify for international duty exemptions.
Proper DGFT compliance protects exporters and importers against delays, penalties, or denial of claims and guarantees that businesses benefit from trade policy schemes such as EPCG, Advance Authorization, or duty drawback.
