05 · THE DIFFERENCE
Claim everything the policy allows
Most exporters leave money on the table — wrong scheme, missed claim, or an unfulfilled obligation that turns a benefit into a penalty. We make sure neither happens.
Right scheme for you
We map your trade to the FTP benefit that fits best.
Filed & fulfilled
Application and export-obligation tracking, end to end.
Nothing left unclaimed
Every incentive and scrip you’re entitled to, captured.
Compliance & appeals
EODC, redemption and disputes handled cleanly.
We pick the scheme, file the application, track the obligation and claim the benefit — so the policy works for you, not against you.
06 · PRICING
