AI Summary

Manufacturer Needs Trading License for Factory Stuffing Permission; Separate Registration Required Under Rule 9 of CE Rules, 2002. A registered manufacturer with an Importer Exporter Code (IEC) inquires about obtaining factory stuffing permission from customs for trading goods. An expert advises that a trading license under Central Excise Laws is necessary for such permission. The manufacturer, lacking a trading license, questions its necessity for exporting goods. The expert confirms the requirement of a trading license and suggests consulting with a tax advisor and the Central Excise Department. Additionally, trading activities by a manufacturing unit require separate registration under Rule 9 of the CE Rules, 2002, and must occur from separate premises, with Commissioner permission needed for identical goods.
