Central excise registration not required for exclusive exporters; export proof and Form H may nonetheless be required.
Where goods are manufactured solely for export and are not removed into the domestic market, central excise registration is not required; garments are generally exempt and jewellery can be exported without payment of duty, but exporters may still need to furnish proof of export and Form H to excise authorities under CBEC guidance.
