Dear Sir's

We are manufacturer exporters & status holder.

AI Summary

EPCG eligibility: forklifts lack manufacturing nexus and are typically ineligible for duty-free import under EPCG.
Forum answers state forklifts lack nexus to manufacture for EPCG use, are classified as non-transport vehicles and are listed in trade policy appendices as sector-restricted, so importing a forklift under EPCG without paying applicable duties is not supported; consult the Capital Goods definition in the FTP and the relevant appendix provisions for eligibility.
