Advance Authorisation and the List of Documents required for obtaining the License

What is Advance Authorization (AA)?
Advance authorization is a scheme administered by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) in India. It allows Indian exporters to import certain specified goods duty-free, provided that they are used in the production of goods that are intended for export. The scheme is designed to help Indian businesses improve their competitiveness in international markets by enabling them to access raw materials and other inputs at lower cost.
To obtain an AA, exporters must submit an application to the DGFT, along with supporting documents such as proof of export orders and details of the goods to be imported. The DGFT will then review the application and, if approved, issue an advance authorization certificate, which must be presented to customs authorities at the time of import.
What are the pre-requisites for applying for Advance Authorization?
- Go to https://www.dgft.gov.in/ and log in to the DGFT website.
- Connect your existing Importer Exporter Code (IEC) to your account. More information on the IEC can be found in the related FAQs.
- Under the “My Dashboards” section, register a Digital Signatures Token.
