Import / Export Compliance

Importers and exporters must navigate a complex web of compliance requirements — covering customs documentation, licensing and permit requirements under the Foreign Trade Policy, prohibitions and restrictions on specific goods, and sector-specific regulations. Non-compliance can result in delays at the port, penalties, and even confiscation of goods. We assist businesses in understanding and meeting their import and export compliance obligations, covering the preparation and review of customs documentation, advice on DGFT regulations and export entitlements, compliance with import licensing requirements, and management of compliance for specific types of goods such as those subject to quality control orders or standards.

Key highlights:

• Review of import and export documentation for accuracy and completeness
• Advisory on Foreign Trade Policy, DGFT regulations, and export entitlements
• Import licensing and permit advisory for restricted and controlled goods
• Compliance advisory for sector-specific requirements including quality standards
• Development of internal customs compliance procedures and checklists
