Dear Friend,

What I understand from your query is that you want to get some exemption/concessions from charges. Generally, there is are no customs duties to be paid on exports unless specified in certain commodities like Ores, Cement etc.,

Coming to charges an exporter generally from the point of clearance to port of export incurs , Freight,Insurance, in addition to the charges to be paid to the CHA who handles the export clearance.

In view of this, I suggest you to please approach a CHA who regulaly deals with export transactions in the port of export from where you propose to export your commodity

Best Regards

Hi Sir,

Thanks for such valuable information.

Sir, Since my turnover is less than 50 lakhs, I hope I don't need to pay central excise duty as well. Please suggest me how to get exempted from central excise duty, any forms or certificate do I need to submit with my other documents.
