 Governing Authorities
Exports are governed by Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992 and Export-Import
(EXIM) Policy.

Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) is the primary governing body responsible for the
export and import policies in the country.

Since an export trade has to follow a specific set of procedures from receiving inquiries to completion of
the transaction, exporters need to get themselves registered with these authorities for ensuring all the
legal formalities as required by them are met and also for receiving incentives which are allowed under
the export promotion schemes.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines have to be met by the exporter. An exporter also requires
an Import-Export Code Number from the concerned regional licensing authority.
