Merchant Exporters: No Excise Registration Needed Unless Operating as Dealers; Use CT-1 Forms for Export Orders. A merchant exporter without any plant or machinery sought guidance on obtaining Central Excise Registration, using their office address for registration details. The response clarified that such exporters typically do not need Excise Registration unless they intend to operate as a dealer. In that case, they can apply for dealer registration by providing their office address. Excise Registration is usually necessary for manufacturers, dealers, or warehouses, and the exporter can use CT-1 forms against a bond for export orders placed with manufacturers. (AI Summary)
