📑 Registration of AA, EPCG, and DFIA Licenses with Customs Authorities
End-to-End Customs Registration Services | DGFT EXIM
Once your Advance Authorization (AA), Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG), or Duty-Free Import Authorization (DFIA) license is approved by DGFT, it must be registered with the concerned Customs Port Authorities to enable duty-free or concessional imports. At DGFT EXIM, we offer comprehensive services for seamless license registration at customs ports across India.
📌 Why Customs Registration is Required
To utilize your approved AA, EPCG, or DFIA license for import clearances, it must be physically or electronically registered with the designated customs port where the import consignment will be cleared. Without this registration, customs duty exemption benefits under these schemes cannot be availed.
