IMPORT LICENSE ON RESTRICTED GOODS IN INDIA

Nikhil6821 Aug, 2025Business

Under India’s Foreign Trade Policy, certain goods are categorized as restricted and require prior approval from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) through a Restricted Import License. These goods may include second-hand equipment, hazardous materials, eco-sensitive products, or items needing clearance from ministries such as Environment, Health, or Defence. Without the proper license, importers risk shipment delays, penalties, or confiscation at ports. SKMC Global assists businesses in navigating this process by identifying license requirements, preparing accurate documentation, ensuring compliance with DGFT guidelines, and securing timely approvals—enabling smooth import operations while protecting businesses from regulatory hurdles.
