Overview

What This Service Covers

An EXIM code is the customs registration used for commercial import and export. It does not replace product-specific permits, duty classification or customs clearance.

The entity, tax, bank and goods information should be checked together before the portal application is prepared.

What Our Service Includes

  • A prerequisite review covering entity registration, PAN, VAT, bank documentation and the planned commercial goods.
  • Coordination of the agreed portal application and Customs follow-up; Customs retains the EXIM issuance decision.
  • EXIM application and linked tax and customs coordination within the agreed engagement.

Who It Is For

  • Businesses that need to check product controls and trading prerequisites before commercial goods move.
  • Registered businesses planning commercial import or export.
  • Businesses able to provide current entity, tax, bank and goods information for the application.

What Is Not Assumed

  • PAN, VAT and a bank relationship are prerequisite matters to confirm.
  • An EXIM code does not authorise restricted or controlled goods.
  • Customs clearance, freight forwarding and shipment approval are outside this service.

KEY ROUTE DECISIONS FOR IMPORT EXPORT (EXIM) CODE REGISTRATION

  • Intended audience: Commercial importers and exporters.
  • Primary authority or route: Department of Customs.
  • Core route definition: An EXIM code is the customs registration used for commercial import and export. It does not replace product-specific permits, duty classification or customs clearance.
  • Main dependency: Whether the proposed goods require a separate product permit or control clearance.
