Industries We Serve

Each sector has its own input-output norms, product registrations and incentive rates. Here is how the main schemes apply to the industries we work with.

From Farm Produce to Machinery

The Same Policy, Applied Differently in Every Sector

An engineering exporter, a spice trader and an electronics importer all deal with DGFT, but the licences, registrations and incentive rates that matter to each are very different. We start from your product and its HS code and work out what actually applies.
