What is Export ?
Export means taking goods
out of India to a place outside India.
What are the steps to
begin exporting?
The two crucial keys to
achieving success are careful selection of likely
countries for your product and plenty of 'desk research'
in order to identify those markets’ characteristics.
In making a detailed market
study the following should be considered:
- Whether the country
selected already imports the product (import
statistics will show how much and from where).
- What import duties the
product would attract.
- Other barriers to
imports, such as import licensing.
- Local taxes on the
product, such as sales tax.
- Frequency and cost of
shipping or airfreight between India and the market.
- Regulations, such as
quarantine and labeling standards, consumer protection
rules, and product standards.
- Whether cultural
differences need to be taken into account. Read
economic and social literature on the target market to
understand its fundamental characteristics.
- Determine whether your
export activity complies with government sanctions and
regulations.
- See the Department of
Foreign Affairs and Trade website for more information
about sanctions:
