Import and Export Related Transactions

In the globalized business landscape, import and export activities are regulated by India’s Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA) and policies framed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). Our specialized import export consulting services help businesses navigate complex international trade requirements and ensure full compliance with FEMA import and export regulations.

Whether you’re an exporter seeking clarity on non-realisation of export proceeds or engaging in merchanting trade transactions in India, our team of foreign trade consultants provides strategic, regulatory, and operational support.

Merchanting Trade Transactions (MTT)

Merchanting trade involves purchasing goods from one country and selling them to another without the goods entering India. For instance, a person resident in India (Country B) buys from Country A and sells to Country C, without routing the goods through India.

Key FEMA conditions for merchanting trade transaction in India include:

The trade must be settled through permitted banking channels.
Both legs (import and export) must be completed within a specified timeline.
Third-country payments must comply with FEMA’s current account transaction rules.

We offer expert EXIM consulting on MTT structure, documentation, and FEMA compliance.

Non-Realisation of Export Proceeds

Under FEMA export rules, exporters must repatriate the full export value (goods/software/services) to India within nine months from the date of export. Non-compliance may attract penalties or restrictions under FEMA.

Common issues include:

Delay in realisation of export proceeds
Non realisation of export proceeds under FEMA
Shortfall in incentive claims

Our services include:

Filing applications to RBI or Authorised Dealers for write-offs due to non-realisation
Surrender of proportionate export incentives
Representations and clarifications with regulatory authorities
