Quick facts
01 · OVERVIEW
What an import licence covers
Under India’s import policy (ITC-HS), goods are classified as free, restricted or prohibited. Restricted goods can only be imported against a specific licence or authorisation from the DGFT. We check your product’s import policy and, where restricted, secure the authorisation so your consignment can enter legally.
