Licence refusal grounds govern foreign-trade licensing where applicants breach law, submit false materials, or fail compliance requirements.

Foreign-trade licences may be refused or not renewed for recorded reasons, including customs or foreign-exchange contraventions, non-compliant applications, false or misleading materials, pending proceedings, unpaid penalties, licence tampering, and corrupt licensing practices. Further grounds include policy ineligibility, failure to provide requested documents, lack of foreign exchange for imports, unauthorised signing, and fraudulent claims for export-linked benefits. Refusal does not prevent separate action under applicable foreign-trade law.
