India Operationalises Inventory-Based Cross-Border E-Commerce Export Framework
The Indian government has operationalised an inventory-based cross-border e-commerce export framework under the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, allowing eligible e-commerce firms with foreign investment to hold inventory exclusively for export purposes. Registered Exporters-on-Record (EORs) must procure goods from Indian Sellers-on-Record against confirmed overseas orders and comply with export regulations. The framework includes procedures for registration, inventory management, compliance, reverse logistics, and dispute resolution, aiming to boost Indian manufacturers and MSMEs' access to global markets while ensuring regulatory oversight.
