Advance Authorisation Scheme

Obtain Advance Authorisation for duty-free import of inputs used in export production.

Are you struggling with the cost and complexity of importing raw materials needed for your export commitments?

Exporting is a powerful way to grow your business, but managing the input costs—especially when dealing with duties and regulations—can create significant bottlenecks. Our Advance Authorisation Scheme helps businesses like yours streamline the import process, allowing you to bring in necessary inputs duty-free for your export production.

Essentially, this scheme provides a crucial financial advantage by ensuring that the raw materials you use to manufacture goods destined for foreign markets are exempt from customs duties and taxes. This not only reduces your operational costs but also significantly improves your cash flow, keeping your focus where it belongs: on scaling your business.
