Cross-Border Regulatory Advisory
International trade is governed by a rigorous matrix of statutory requirements under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP), Indian Customs Act, 1962, and specialized export promotion bodies. A failure to execute required port registrations, duty drawback filings, or council memberships can result in costly cargo detentions, forfeited export incentives, and customs clearance delays.
