Frequently Asked Questions
What is EDPMS and IDPMS compliance under RBI?
The Export Data Processing and Monitoring System (EDPMS) and Import Data Processing and Monitoring System (IDPMS) track cross-border payments. Exporters must ensure foreign export proceeds are realized within statutory periods, and importers must submit Bill of Entry evidence against outward remittances.
Do you advise on goods falling under the SCOMET list?
We offer guidance on identifying whether your dual-use items, software, or technology fall under Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies (SCOMET) lists and outline the requisite DGFT licensing process.
Can regulatory compliance guidance prevent customs penalties?
Proactive compliance checks verify documents, classifications, and licenses before shipments are dispatched, significantly reducing exposure to misdeclarations, demurrage, and customs penalties.
