DGFT Proposes RCMC Exemption for Export Shipments Up to Rs 10,000, Seeks Feedback
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has proposed exempting export consignments valued up to Rs 10,000 from the mandatory Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) requirement. This amendment to the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 aims to simplify export procedures for small businesses, micro, small and medium enterprises, artisans, and e-commerce sellers, especially those using postal and courier services. The government has invited stakeholder feedback within 10 days before finalizing the proposal, which excludes restricted products from the exemption.
