Chapter 01Foundation

Export-Import Business Kya Hota Hai — Types aur Overview

International trade duniya ka sabse bada business hai — $32 trillion+ annually. India iska ek bada hissa hai. Aap bhi is system ka part ban sakte hain — ek IEC code se shuru hota hai.

Export matlab India se kisi product ya service ko kisi dusre desh mein bechna. Import matlab kisi dusre desh se cheez mangakar India mein bechna ya use karna. Dono mein custom clearance, documentation, aur government compliance zaroori hai.

India mein koi bhi registered entity — sole proprietor, partnership, LLP, ya Pvt. Ltd. — export-import business kar sakti hai. Bas ek IEC (Import Export Code) chahiye, jo DGFT issue karta hai.

Chapter 02Registration

IEC — Import Export Code — Complete Registration Guide

IEC ek 10-digit permanent code hai — ye aapki international trade ki "identity" hai. Bina IEC ke koi bhi customs clearance possible nahi. Sirf ₹500 mein milta hai, aur lifetime valid hai.

IEC = Importer Exporter Code — ye DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) issue karta hai jo Ministry of Commerce ke under aata hai. India mein kisi bhi goods ya services ka export ya import karne ke liye ye mandatory hai — chahe aap ek baar karo ya hazaro baar.

IEC kab compulsory NAHI hai: Agar aap personal goods import kar rahe ho (apne use ke liye, commercial purpose nahi), ya specific government ministries hain — to IEC nahi chahiye. Baaki sabke liye mandatory hai.

IEC Registration — Step by Step (DGFT Portal)

1

DGFT Portal par Register karo

Portal: dgft.gov.in → "Apply IEC" ya direct: dgft.gov.in/CP/?opt=ic

"New User Registration" → Mobile number + email se register → OTP verify → Login.

Note: Ek PAN par sirf ek IEC hota hai — duplicate application reject ho jaata hai.

✓ Tip: Company email use karo — DGFT correspondence usi par aayega.

2

Form ANF 2A bharo — PAN auto-fetch hoga

"Services" → "IEC" → "Apply for IEC" → PAN number enter karo.

System automatically Income Tax database se business details fetch karta hai. Check karo sab sahi hai:
• Business name (PAN ke hisaab se)
• Business type (Proprietorship / Company / LLP)
• Registered address

Agar kuch galat ho to pehle Income Tax portal par update karo, phir apply karo.

3

Documents Upload Karo

Proprietorship ke liye:
• Owner ka PAN card (mandatory)
• Aadhaar card (identity + address proof)
• Cancelled cheque ya bank certificate (current account — company/firm ke naam par)
• Passport size photo

Private Limited / LLP ke liye:
• Company PAN
• COI (Certificate of Incorporation) — MCA se
• Current account ka cancelled cheque
• Director/Partner ki Aadhaar + PAN

File format: PDF ya JPEG, max 5MB each.

✓ Tip: Cancelled cheque par IFSC, account number clearly visible hona chahiye.

4

₹500 Fees Pay Karo

Online payment gateway — Net banking, UPI, Credit/Debit card sab accepted hain. Payment confirmation automatically application se link ho jaata hai.

5

DSC ya Aadhaar OTP se Digital Sign karo

Application ko digitally sign karna padta hai:
• Aadhaar-based e-Sign (sabse easy — OTP se instant signing) — recommended
• DSC (Digital Signature Certificate) — agar company DSC hai to use kar sakte ho

Submit ke baad application DGFT office ko jaati hai.

6

IEC Certificate Download Karo — Usually Same Day

Auto-approval system hai — zyada cases mein same day ya next working day IEC milta hai. Email par notification aata hai.

DGFT portal se PDF certificate download karo. Isme hoga:
• 10-digit IEC number (aapka PAN hi hota hai basically)
• Business name, address
• Bank details

Ye certificate lifetime valid hai — koi expiry nahi.

✓ IEC number ko print karke apne business documents mein rakh lo — customs, banks, sab maangenge.

IEC Annual Update — Compulsory (Free)

Har saal April 1 – June 30 ke beech IEC update/confirm karna compulsory hai. Kuch changes na ho tab bhi DGFT portal par jaake "No Change" confirm karna padta hai. Nahi kiya to IEC deactivate ho jaata hai — reactivation ke liye phir apply karna padega.

Process: dgft.gov.in → Login → "IEC Profile Management" → Details verify karo → Submit. 2 minute ka kaam.

IEC Ke Baad Ye Bhi Karo

AD Code Registration

Apne bank se "AD Code" (Authorised Dealer Code) lo — ICEGATE portal par register karo. Shipping bills ke liye zaroori. Bank se letter maango — free milta hai.

ICEGATE Registration

icegate.gov.in par register karo — Customs Online Portal. Shipping Bill aur Bill of Entry yahan se file hoti hai.

GST LUT Filing

GST portal par LUT (Letter of Undertaking) file karo har financial year — zero GST par export kar sakoge. Free, online, instant.

RCMC (Optional)

Apne sector ke Export Promotion Council se Registration Cum Membership Certificate lo — DGFT schemes ke liye helpful. FIEO ya sector council se apply karo.

Chapter 03Classification & Duty

HS Codes aur Customs Duty — Poori Jankari

Har product ka ek secret code hota hai — HS Code. Isi se decide hota hai kitna customs tax lagega, koi ban hai ya nahi, aur kaunse government benefits milenge.

HS Code (Harmonized System Code) ek globally standardized 6-digit product classification system hai — WCO (World Customs Organization) ne banaya hai, 212 countries follow karte hain. India ne ise extend karke 8-digit ITC-HS Code banaya hai.

HS Code Structure (India):
09 02 10 10
↑ Chapter ↑ Heading ↑ Subheading ↑ India-specific

Example: 09021010 = Green Tea (packets ≤3kg)
09 = Coffee & Tea | 0902 = Tea | .10 = Green | .10 = Small packets

Import Duty Calculation — Poora Formula

Step 1: Assessable Value = CIF Value (Cost + Insurance + Freight in INR)
Step 2: BCD = Assessable Value × BCD Rate%
Step 3: SWS = BCD × 10%
Step 4: IGST Base = Assessable Value + BCD + SWS
Step 5: IGST = IGST Base × IGST Rate%
──────────────────────────────────────
Total Duty = BCD + SWS + IGST
Note: IGST is fully claimable as ITC. BCD + SWS is NOT claimable.

Practical Example — Mobile Phone Import:
CIF Value = ₹50,000 | BCD = 20% | IGST = 18%
BCD = 50,000 × 20% = ₹10,000
SWS = 10,000 × 10% = ₹1,000
IGST Base = 50,000 + 10,000 + 1,000 = ₹61,000
IGST = 61,000 × 18% = ₹10,980
Total Duty = ₹21,980 | Effective rate = 43.96%
IGST ₹10,980 ITC mein use kar sakte ho — net cost = ₹11,000 only

Export Policy — Free / Restricted / Prohibited

Policy	Matlab	Example Products	Kya Karna Hai
FREE	Koi restriction nahi	Textiles, software, furniture, most goods	Directly export karo — IEC kaafi hai
RESTRICTED	License ya permission chahiye	Certain chemicals, seeds, some food items	DGFT se Export License apply karo
PROHIBITED	Export bilkul allowed nahi	Wild animals, antiquities, human organs	Export nahi kar sakte — legal action
STE	Sirf State Trading Enterprises	Urea, certain grains (NAFED, STC)	Government agency ke through hi export
Conditional	Certain conditions mein free	Rice (MEP applicable), onion (MEP period)	Minimum Export Price maintain karo

Chapter 04Export Process

Export Karna — Pehle Order Se Payment Tak Complete Flow

1

Market Research aur Product Selection

Pehle decide karo kya export karna hai aur kahan. Tools:
• trademap.org — kaunse countries India se kya import karte hain
• indiantradeportal.in — country-wise demand analysis
• zauba.com — competitors ke shipments dekhein
• Google Trends + Alibaba trending — demand check

Target market ke import regulations bhi check karo — kuch desh specific certifications maangenge.

✓ FTA countries (UAE, Australia, ASEAN) mein Indian products par zero ya reduced duty milti hai — inhe prefer karo.

2

Buyer Contact karo — Proforma Invoice bhejo

Buyer se contact hone ke baad Proforma Invoice bhejo — ye quotation hai. Isme hoga:
• Product description + HS Code
• Unit price (USD/EUR mein), quantity
• Incoterm (FOB / CIF / etc)
• Delivery timeline
• Payment terms (30% advance, 70% before shipment — standard)
• Validity (15 days usually)

Buyer accept kare to Purchase Order (PO) milega.

3

GST LUT File Karo (Zero-rated Export)

GST registered exporters ke liye LUT (Letter of Undertaking) compulsory hai agar IGST nahi pay karna — ye zero GST export allow karta hai.

Portal: gst.gov.in → Services → User Services → Furnish LUT → Apply.
Har financial year mein file karo — free hai, instant approval milta hai.

✓ LUT nahi hai to 18% IGST pay karke export karo — refund milega but time lagega.

4

Production / Procurement aur Packaging

Export packaging standard international requirements follow kare:
• Strong outer cartons — ISTA certified (agar electronics/fragile)
• Moisture-proof inner packing
• Proper labeling: country of origin ("Made in India"), HS Code, net weight, gross weight, dimensions
• Fumigation certificate agar wooden packaging hai (ISPM-15 standard)

Certifications as needed:
• FSSAI — food products
• BIS — electronics, toys, some goods
• Phytosanitary Certificate — plants, fresh produce (Agriculture dept.)
• SGS / Bureau Veritas — general quality inspection

5

CHA (Customs House Agent) hire karo

CHA aapke liye customs documents file karta hai — ye mandatory professionally licensed agent hai (CBIC licensed). Inhe do:
• IEC certificate
• GST number + LUT
• Commercial Invoice
• Packing List
• AD Code registration proof

CHA dhundhne ke liye: CBIC CHA Directory ya local port par kisi bhi established CHA se.
Charges: ₹3,000–₹15,000 per shipment depending on complexity.

6

Shipping Bill File Karo (ICEGATE)

CHA ICEGATE portal par Shipping Bill file karta hai — ye export ka main customs document hai. Types:
• Free Shipping Bill — duty-free exports
• Dutiable Shipping Bill — export duty applicable ho tab
• Drawback Shipping Bill — duty drawback claim ke liye
• Ex-Bond Shipping Bill — bonded warehouse se

Customs officer examination ke baad "Let Export Order (LEO)" deta hai — iske baad hi maal port se jaata hai.

7

Bill of Lading / Airway Bill aur Documents Prepare Karo

Maal ship par load hone ke baad shipping company Bill of Lading (B/L) issue karta hai. Ye document:
• Ownership ka proof hai
• Buyer ko original B/L courier karo (DHL/FedEx) — isi se maal release hoga
• 3 original copies hote hain — ek bank ko, ek buyer ko, ek apne paas

Air cargo ke liye: Airway Bill (MAWB/HAWB)

Saath mein full export document set bhejo buyer ko:
Commercial Invoice + Packing List + B/L + COO + Insurance Certificate + other certifications

8

Payment Receive Karo aur GST Refund Claim Karo

Payment aane ke baad:
• Bank se FIRC (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate) lo — payment proof
• BRC (Bank Realisation Certificate) bhi lo — DGFT ke liye

GST Refund:
• GSTR-1 mein export declare karo (Table 6A)
• GST portal par refund application file karo (RFD-01)
• Usually 30-60 days mein refund aata hai

RBI FEMA rule: Export payment 9 mahine ke andar receive karna compulsory hai.

✓ RoDTEP benefit: DGFT portal par Shipping Bill ke against RoDTEP scrip generate karo — future import duty ke liye use ho sakti hai ya sell kar sakte ho.

Chapter 05Import Process

Import Karna — Supplier Se Warehouse Tak Complete Process

1

Supplier Research aur Verification

Reliable supplier dhundhna import ka sabse important step hai. Tools:
• Alibaba.com — "Gold Supplier" aur "Verified Supplier" badge wale prefer karo
• GlobalSources.com — especially electronics
• ThomasNet.com — USA/Europe ke industrial suppliers
• Kompass.com — global B2B directory

Supplier verify kaise karein: Trade references maango, sample order karo pehle, factory audit karo (ya SGS / Bureau Veritas se karwao), Google Maps par factory check karo.

2

HS Code aur Import Duty Calculate Karo

Import karne se pehle EXACT duty calculate karo — surprise se bachne ke liye:
• icegate.gov.in → Tariff → Duty Calculator
• cbic-gst.gov.in → Customs Tariff

Check karo:
✓ BCD rate kya hai?
✓ Koi anti-dumping duty hai? (CBIC notifications check karo)
✓ BIS mandatory testing required hai? (bis.gov.in)
✓ FSSAI approval needed? (food/health products)
✓ Drug Controller clearance? (medicines)
✓ Import license chahiye? (DGFT restricted list)

✓ Customs duty + landing charges + CHA charges + freight sab milake "landed cost" calculate karo — tabhi profitability decide karo.

3

Purchase Order aur Contract Sign Karo

PO mein clearly mention karo:
• Product specifications (dimensions, materials, certifications required)
• Quantity + Unit price (USD/EUR)
• Incoterm (FOB Shanghai / CIF Mumbai etc)
• Delivery date
• Payment terms
• Quality inspection clause (pre-shipment inspection mandatory karo)
• Dispute resolution — Indian arbitration ya ICC preferred

4

Payment Karo — LC ya TT

Pehli baar supplier ke liye: 30% advance TT, 70% balance before shipment (ya against B/L copy).

LC (Letter of Credit): Bank guarantee — payment tabhi hoti hai jab supplier sahi documents present kare. Slightly expensive (0.5–1% of invoice value) but most secure.

AD Bank se foreign currency khareedo: Current account mein USD/EUR fund karo — Form A1 fill karo (import payment ke liye RBI compliant).

FEMA compliance: Import payment DGFT portal par registered hona chahiye. Advance payment ₹2.5 lakh se zyada ho to Import Declaration submit karo.

5

Shipment Track Karo aur Documents Collect Karo

Supplier se ye documents demand karo shipment ke saath:
• Original Bill of Lading (3 originals) — ya Airway Bill
• Commercial Invoice (triplicate)
• Packing List (detailed)
• Certificate of Origin (FTA benefit ke liye notarized chahiye)
• Pre-shipment inspection report (agar applicable)
• Test reports / Quality certificates
• MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) — chemicals ke liye

Track cargo: track-trace.com ya shipping company portal.

6

Bill of Entry File Karo (Customs Clearance)

CHA ICEGATE par Bill of Entry (BE) file karta hai — ye import ka main customs document hai. Types:
• Home Consumption BE — direct use ke liye import
• Warehousing BE — bonded warehouse mein store karna hai
• Ex-Bond BE — warehouse se release karte waqt

RMS System: Most imports Risk Management System se automatically assess hote hain — physical examination nahi hoti. High-risk cases mein examination hoti hai.

Out of Charge (OOC) milne ke baad maal port se release hota hai.

✓ Demurrage se bachne ke liye: Shipment port pahunchne se pehle hi Bill of Entry file kar do (30 days advance filing possible hai).

7

Customs Duty Pay Karo aur Maal Release Karo

ICEGATE portal par duty payment karo — icegate.gov.in → "e-Payment". Net banking, RTGS, NEFT accepted.

IGST ITC Claim: Import par pay kiya IGST aapki GST return mein ITC ke roop mein claim kar sakte ho — GSTR-2B mein auto-reflect hoga.

Port se maal transport: CFS (Container Freight Station) ya direct delivery. Transporter arrange karo.

Important records maintain karo: Bill of Entry + Duty payment challan + all import documents — 5 saal tak rakhna compulsory (Customs Act).

Chapter 07Trade Terms

Incoterms 2020 — Completely Explained With Responsibility Chart

Incoterms 11 standardized trade terms hain jo decide karte hain — seller aur buyer mein se kaun shipping cost, insurance, aur risk uthayega, aur delivery point kahan hogi.

Incoterms 2020 — Latest Version (ICC Paris): DAT ki jagah DPU aaya, FCA mein B/L provision update hua. Sirf goods ke liye hain — services ke liye nahi. Apne contract mein clearly likho: e.g. FOB Mumbai Port, Incoterms 2020

Seller Ke Liye Favorable (Kam risk seller par)

EXW

Ex Works

Seller risk: Minimum

Seller sirf apni factory/warehouse par maal ready rakhe. Buyer sab utha karta hai — transport, customs, sab kuch. Seller ke liye sabse kam zimmedari.

FCA

Free Carrier

Seller risk: Factory to named point

Seller named place tak (ICD / port) deliver karta hai, export customs clear karta hai. Risk buyer ko transfer at named place. LC transactions ke liye EXW se better.

FAS

Free Alongside Ship

Seller risk: Alongside vessel

Seller maal ship ke alongside quay par rakhe. Bulk cargo (coal, grain, ore) ke liye use hota hai. Sea transport only.

FOB

Free On Board

Seller risk: Until loaded on ship

India mein sabse common export term. Seller maal ship par load karne tak zimmedar. Loading complete hone par risk buyer ko transfer. "FOB Mumbai" standard hai.

Shared / Seller Freight Pay (Risk still at origin)

CFR

Cost & Freight

Freight: Seller | Risk: FOB point se

Seller freight cost pay karta hai lekin risk FOB par transfer ho jaata hai. Insurance buyer ka responsibility.

CIF

Cost Insurance Freight

Freight+Insurance: Seller | Risk: FOB

India mein import customs assessment ke liye standard. Seller freight + minimum insurance pay karta hai. CIF value par BCD calculate hoti hai.

CPT

Carriage Paid To

Freight: Seller | Risk: First carrier

Any mode of transport ke liye. Seller named destination tak freight pay karta hai. CFR ka multimodal version.

CIP

Carriage & Insurance Paid

Freight+Full Insurance: Seller

CPT + higher insurance cover (Institute Cargo Clauses A — all risk). Air/multimodal ke liye. 2020 update: insurance cover enhanced.

Buyer Ke Liye Favorable (Door-step delivery)

DAP

Delivered at Place

Seller risk: Until named destination

Seller buyer ke destination tak deliver karta hai — unload nahi karta. Buyer sirf import duty pay karta hai.

DPU

Delivered at Place Unloaded

Seller risk: Including unloading

2020 mein DAT ki jagah aaya. Seller destination par unload bhi karta hai. Container yards ke liye useful.

DDP

Delivered Duty Paid

Seller risk: Everything including duty

Buyer ke liye best — seller sab kuch handle karta hai including import customs duty aur taxes. Door-step delivery. Seller ke liye maximum risk.

Common Mistakes with Incoterms:
❌ EXW use karna jab buyer India se pick nahi kar sakta — use FCA instead
❌ FOB use karna container shipments ke liye — technically FCA correct hai containers mein
❌ Incoterm mention karna without location — always likho "FOB Mumbai Port, Incoterms 2020"
❌ Ye sochna ki DDP mein import duty seller pay karega bina advance calculation ke — DGFT FTP restrictions bhi check karo

Chapter 08Finance & Forex

Forex aur Payment Methods — Paise Safely Kaise Receive/Send Karein

Payment Methods — Risk aur Use Cases

Method	Kaise Kaam Karta Hai	Seller Risk	Best Use Case	Cost
Advance TT (Wire Transfer)	Buyer pehle 100% ya partial pay karta hai, phir shipment	Low	Trusted buyers, small orders, samples	Low (bank charges)
LC (Letter of Credit)	Bank guarantee — documents present karo, payment guaranteed	Very Low	Large orders, new buyers — most secure method	0.5–1% of invoice
DP (Documents Against Payment)	Documents bank hold karta hai — buyer pay kare tab release	Medium	Established relations, moderate trust	Low
DA (Documents Against Acceptance)	Buyer accept karta hai future payment ke liye — credit extension	High	Very established long-term buyers	Low (but risk high)
Open Account	Ship karo, invoice bhejo, payment aaye baad mein	Very High	Group companies, 100% trusted buyers only	Zero but risky
Escrow (Online)	Third party hold karta hai — dono satisfy ho tab release	Low-Medium	Small online orders, new relationships	2–3%

LC (Letter of Credit) — Detailed Explanation

LC international trade ka sabse secure payment method hai. Isme buyer ka bank guarantee deta hai ki agar seller sahi documents present kare to payment guaranteed hai — chahe buyer later default kare.

Step 1

Buyer apne bank se LC open karta hai — application mein terms, documents required, expiry date mention karta hai

Step 2

Buyer bank advising bank (seller ke desh mein) ko LC forward karta hai — seller ko notify kiya jaata hai

Step 3

Seller LC terms review karta hai — agar kuch galat hai to amendment request karo pehle shipment se

Step 4

Seller shipment karta hai aur sab documents collect karta hai exactly as per LC terms

Step 5

Seller documents present karta hai advising bank ko — bank 5 working days mein check karta hai

Step 6

Documents sahi hain to payment release — at sight LC mein immediate, usance LC mein agreed period baad

ECGC — Export Credit Guarantee Corporation

ECGC kya hai: Government of India ki insurance company jo exporters ko protect karti hai payment default se. Agar foreign buyer payment nahi karta (commercial risk) ya war/political events (political risk) — ECGC aapka 60–90% loss cover karta hai.

Main Policies:
• ECIB (Export Credit Insurance for Banks) — bank ke liye jo export finance de raha hai
• Specific Shipment Policy — ek specific shipment ke liye
• Small Exporters Policy — annual turnover ₹5 crore tak ke exporters ke liye special rates

Premium: Invoice value ka 0.3–0.5% (bahut nominal) | Portal: ecgc.in
Must for: New markets, open account terms, DA terms — ECGC lene ke baad confidently export karo.

RBI FEMA Rules — Export-Import Ke Liye

Rule	Detail	Consequence if violated
Export payment receipt	9 mahine ke andar payment aana chahiye (FEMA 23R)	RBI penalty, ED investigation possible
Import advance payment	Advance ₹5 lakh se zyada ho to bank guarantee ya LC preferred	Monitoring flag
BRC (Bank Realisation Certificate)	Payment aane ke baad bank se BRC lo — DGFT schemes ke liye proof	DGFT benefits block ho sakte hain
FIRC	Foreign Inward Remittance Certificate — GST refund ke liye proof	GST refund stuck ho sakta hai
Currency hedging	Forward contract se USD/INR rate lock karo — allowed under FEMA	Currency loss — not a violation but financial risk
Export Finance (PCFC)	Pre-shipment: Packing Credit in Foreign Currency — low rate loan	—

Chapter 09GST & Tax

GST aur Income Tax — Export-Import Par Kya Lagtaa Hai

Export par GST — Zero Rated Supply

Export of goods aur services IGST Act Section 16 ke under zero-rated supply hai — matlab end customer se GST nahi liya jaata. Lekin aap inputs par pay kiye GST ka ITC claim kar sakte ho.

Option 1 — LUT file karo (Recommended)

Zero GST invoice bhejo. GST portal par LUT file karo. ITC ka refund later claim karo. 95% exporters yahi karte hain.

Option 2 — IGST pay karo

18% IGST pe export karo. ICEGATE-GST integration se auto-process. Refund typically 30-45 din mein. Liquidity issue hoti hai.

GST Refund Types on Export:
• ITC Refund (LUT case): RFD-01 form GST portal par file karo → relevant date se 2 saal ke andar → 60 days mein process hona chahiye
• IGST Refund (IGST paid case): GSTR-1 Table 6A declare karo → Shipping Bill se auto-match hoga via ICEGATE → Usually 30-45 days mein auto credit

Import par Tax — Complete Structure 2025

Levy	Rate	ITC Claimable?	Notes
Basic Customs Duty (BCD)	Varies: 0%–150%	No	Main import duty — HS code se determine hoti hai
Social Welfare Surcharge (SWS)	10% of BCD	No	BCD par imposed — education cess replaced
IGST on Import	5% / 12% / 18% / 28%	Yes — Full ITC	GST equivalent — GSTR-2B mein auto-reflect hoga
Compensation Cess	Varies (luxury/sin goods)	No	Cars, tobacco, aerated drinks — extra levy
Anti-Dumping Duty	Case-specific	No	CBIC notification se check karo
AIDC (Agri Infra Dev Cess)	Product-specific	No	Agricultural products — Budget 2021 se

Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) — India Ke Active FTAs

FTA / Agreement	Partner Countries	Key Benefit	Certificate Needed
India-UAE CEPA (2022)	UAE	90%+ tariff lines — zero duty. Huge opportunity for SMEs	Certificate of Origin — DGFT issued
India-Australia ECTA (2022)	Australia	85%+ exports zero duty — textiles, pharma, engineering	Certificate of Origin
ASEAN FTA (AIFTA)	10 ASEAN countries	Zero duty on 75%+ tariff lines — large market access	Form AI — issued by DGFT/Chamber
SAFTA	SAARC nations (Nepal, Bangladesh etc)	Significantly reduced duties — easy logistics	Certificate of Origin
India-Japan CEPA	Japan	Duty reduction on hundreds of items	Certificate of Origin (DGFT)
India-South Korea CEPA	South Korea	Auto components, chemicals, textiles — significant cuts	Certificate of Origin
GSP (Generalized System of Preferences)	USA, EU, UK (for eligible items)	Preferential duties — check current status with respective country	REX self-certification / Form A

FTA ka fayda kaise lein: Certificate of Origin (COO) DGFT portal se ya local Chamber of Commerce se lo. Buyer ko original COO bhejo along with shipment. Buying country ke customs office COO verify karke preferential duty allow karta hai. Without COO — normal MFN duty lagegi. DGFT COO Portal

Chapter 11Logistics

Shipping aur Logistics — Modes, Costs, aur Practical Tips

Shipping Modes — Kaun sa Choose Karein

Mode	Transit Time	Cost	Best For	Documents
Sea Freight (FCL)	10–35 days	Lowest per kg	Large volume — full container (20ft/40ft)	Bill of Lading
Sea Freight (LCL)	15–45 days	Low but higher than FCL per kg	Small quantity — container share karo	House Bill of Lading
Air Freight	2–7 days	5–8x more than sea	High-value, perishable, urgent goods	Airway Bill
Courier (DHL/FedEx)	1–5 days	Highest	Samples, documents, small parcels (<70kg)	Commercial Invoice + Airway Bill
Road (Cross-border)	2–7 days	Medium	Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Pakistan (limited)	Truck Bill of Lading
Rail (Multimodal)	15–25 days	Low-medium	Central Asia, China (via INSTC)	Rail Waybill

India Ke Major Ports aur ICD

Major Sea Ports

Major Airports (Air Cargo)

ICD (Inland Container Depots)

Delhi Tughlakabad | Ludhiana | Ahmedabad | Pune | Coimbatore — door-to-door container movement

Air Cargo Complex

Har major airport par dedicated air cargo complex — perishables, pharmaceuticals, high-value goods

Freight Forwarder vs CHA — Fark Samjho

Freight Forwarder

Shipping arrange karta hai — shipping line booking, cargo consolidation, routing. IATA/FIATA certified. Examples: DB Schenker, Kuehne+Nagel, local forwarders.

CHA (Custom House Agent)

Customs clearance handle karta hai — Shipping Bill / Bill of Entry file karna. CBIC licensed. Usually same company freight + CHA services offer karti hai.

Logistics Cost Minimize Karne Ke Tips:
✓ Multiple freight forwarders se quotes lo — rates mein 20–40% fark ho sakta hai
✓ Long-term contracts karo — volume discount milta hai
✓ ICD use karo agar port door se door convenient nahi — customs clearance ICD par bhi ho sakti hai
✓ Cargo insurance ALWAYS lo — minimum CIF value ka 110% insure karo
✓ Free days negotiate karo shipping line se — usually 7 free days, 14 tak negotiate karo
✓ Track shipment realtime: track-trace.com ya shipping line portal
