Product and route assessment
Check whether the proposed products fall within APEDA’s scheduled-product scope.
APEDA REGISTRATION — APPLICATION READINESS
Identify the right registration body.
Align entity data with IEC records.
UNDERSTAND YOUR REQUIREMENTS
APEDA registration-cum-membership concerns the relevant scheduled products and exporter profile. APEDA directs applicants to the DGFT e-RCMC route after obtaining an IEC. We help organise the exporter particulars and application-readiness, while keeping commodity controls, shipment documents and destination requirements separate.
PLAN THE RIGHT SUPPORT
Check whether the proposed products fall within APEDA’s scheduled-product scope.
Organise the exporter details and supporting particulars.
Check the current certificate and any information requiring attention.
Identify the appropriate registration body before preparing an application.
Align entity particulars with the IEC and related information.
Separate RCMC from shipment and destination requirements.
The correct route depends on the people, activity and location involved.
Review the intended export products against APEDA’s scope.
Confirm the exporter’s IEC and underlying business particulars.
Check the prerequisites for the specific e-RCMC application.
Confirm the current official requirements for your activity and the scope of the intended application.
Choose the structure around your ownership and operating plans.
This is a starting checklist. Final requirements depend on your profile and the relevant filing procedure. Do not submit identity documents through the general enquiry form.
Identify the main line of business and appropriate body.
Stage 1
Check IEC and entity particulars for consistency.
Stage 2
Organise the information required through the official DGFT route.
Stage 3
Address queries and retain the resulting certificate and records.
Stage 4
Depends on a clear product scope and accurate exporter particulars.
Portal checks and the responsible authority affect completion.
Shipment, product and importing-country checks continue separately.
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE
| Requirement | Main purpose | Separate consideration |
|---|---|---|
| IEC | Provides the exporter’s DGFT identification record. | Does not replace commodity-specific registration. |
| APEDA e-RCMC | Records membership for the relevant scheduled-product scope. | Does not replace every shipment permission. |
| Shipment documentation | Addresses the transaction and destination requirements. | Product and market conditions vary. |
An APEDA RCMC is not a blanket approval for every product or destination, and does not guarantee export orders or scheme benefits.
