While issuing the RCMC (Registration Cum Membership Certificate) by Export Promotion Councils, what do they check before issuing the appropriate tag to exporters?
How to obtain a Manufacturer Exporter tag on your RCMC: required documents, verification steps, and export registrations A manufacturer exporter is an entity that physically produces the exported goods, whereas a merchant exporter buys goods from manufacturers and exports them. To get a Manufacturer Exporter tag on an RCMC, the exporter applies to the relevant Export Promotion Council with core documents: IEC, PAN, GST registration, proof of manufacturing premises (factory/shop act or lease), manufacturing licence/registration, production records or factory inspection reports, invoices and packing lists, purchase orders, quality certificates and bank details. The Council verifies manufacture capacity/records and supporting documents and then issues the RCMC with the manufacturer or merchant tag; customs/SEZ or other registrations may require additional filings.
