Commerce Ministry Notifies Procedures for Inventory-Based Cross-Border E-Commerce Exports
The commerce ministry has notified operational procedures for inventory-based cross-border e-commerce, allowing foreign-invested e-commerce firms to hold inventory solely for export purposes. Companies must register as Exporters-on-Record and procure goods made in India against confirmed export orders. The framework includes guidelines on inventory management, seller visibility, reverse logistics, compliance, and dispute resolution, aiming to enhance Indian manufacturers' participation in global e-commerce supply chains.
