DGFT & Export-Import Licensing Support

Navigate India's Export-Import Regulatory Requirements With Confidence

International trade involves various registrations, permissions, licences and regulatory requirements.

Depending on the product and transaction, businesses may need to interact with DGFT and other relevant authorities or regulatory systems.

At Impex Consultancy, we provide practical guidance and coordination support for applicable export-import registrations, licences and procedures.

What Is DGFT?

Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) is the Indian government authority responsible for matters relating to foreign trade policy and several important export-import processes.

Businesses involved in international trade may encounter DGFT-related requirements depending on their activities.
