From PAN and GST to IEC, RCMC, APEDA, and every export board certificate — every registration your business or export shipment needs, handled accurately and end-to-end. Included in all BuyGenix membership plans.
Every stage of running and growing an export business needs paperwork — from the PAN that opens your first bank account, to the GST and IEC that let you raise invoices and ship goods, to the board-specific certificates that let you export spices, marine products, tea, or agricultural goods to specific markets.
Getting any one of these wrong, late, or skipped entirely can delay a shipment, block a payment, or get an application rejected outright. Our team handles the paperwork end-to-end so you can focus on running your business.
Registration assistance for everything below is bundled into all our membership plans — no separate consulting fees on top of your plan.
A 10-digit ID issued by the Income Tax Department — the very first document needed before you can open a business bank account or register for GST, IEC, or TAN.
Required by any business that deducts or collects tax at source (TDS/TCS) — for example, on salaries, rent, or contractor payments. Mandatory for companies, LLPs, and most businesses with staff.
Mandatory once turnover crosses ₹20 lakh (₹10 lakh in special-category states), and essential for every exporter who wants to claim zero-rated export benefits and Input Tax Credit (ITC) refunds.
Lets exporters ship goods or services without paying IGST upfront — instead of paying tax and reclaiming it later, an LUT means you export tax-free from day one. Must be filed fresh every financial year.
Filed whenever your registered GST details change — address, additional place of business, partners/directors, or bank account. Keeping this current avoids mismatches that delay refunds.
Free government registration that unlocks priority lending, lower interest rates, credit guarantee schemes, and export promotion benefits under the MSME Development Act.
A state-level tax on salaries and professional income (rules vary by state). Employers need a Registration Certificate to deduct it from staff; self-employed professionals need an Enrolment Certificate for themselves.
Mandatory registration for any office, shop, or commercial premises under your state's Shops & Establishments Act — usually one of the first licences needed before opening a current account.
Permission from your local Municipal Corporation to carry on a specific trade or business activity at your premises — required before commencing most commercial operations.
A secure digital key that lets directors and signatories sign filings electronically — needed for GST, IEC, MCA/ROC filings, e-tendering, and customs documentation.
Mandatory for every food product business — spices, rice, organic food, processed food, beverages, and agricultural goods — whether selling domestically or exporting.
A 10-digit code issued by DGFT — mandatory for every exporter and importer. Without an IEC you cannot legally export or import goods from India.
Issued by your relevant Export Promotion Council or Commodity Board, an RCMC certifies you're a registered member for a specific product — required to claim benefits under India's Foreign Trade Policy.
Mandatory for exporters of agricultural and processed food products — fruits, vegetables, cereals, meat, dairy, confectionery and more — unlocking export incentives and Registered Exporter status.
Mandatory RCMC for anyone exporting pepper, cardamom, turmeric, chilli, cumin, or other spice products from India.
Required for exporters of marine and seafood products. Includes registering your processing unit, which must meet HACCP and sanitary standards for markets like the EU and US.
Mandatory exporter registration for anyone shipping tea out of India.
Mandatory exporter registration for coffee exports from India.
Mandatory registration and export authorisation for tobacco and tobacco product exporters.
Confirms your goods meet the specified quality standard before shipment — mandatory for certain notified commodities under India's export quality-control framework.
Certifies the country where your goods were made. A Preferential COO can unlock lower import duty for your buyer under trade agreements; a Non-Preferential COO covers general customs documentation.
Confirms plants, fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds, or wood packaging are free of pests and disease — required by the importing country's quarantine authority before plant-based cargo can enter.
Confirms your cargo or wooden packaging has been treated against pests and insects — commonly required to meet the ISPM-15 standard for shipments using wooden pallets or crates.
Facility-level approval for seafood processing and export units, run alongside MPEDA registration, confirming your unit meets the sanitary standards required for regulated markets.
Registration on Indian Customs' electronic gateway — needed to file shipping bills and bills of entry online, track consignments, and receive duty drawback or IGST refunds directly.
Every registration above has its own exact checklist, but most start with the same core set of documents. For an individual or proprietorship, this usually means:
Board-specific registrations (APEDA, Spices Board, MPEDA, Tea/Coffee/Tobacco Board) and certificates (COO, Phytosanitary, Fumigation) need a few extra product or facility-specific documents. Contact us and we'll send you the exact checklist for whichever registration you need.
GST Registration generally takes 3 to 7 working days, depending on document verification and government approval.
Yes, GST Registration is highly recommended for exporters to claim Input Tax Credit (ITC) refunds and other export benefits.
IEC Registration is normally issued within 1 to 3 working days after successful application submission.
MSME/Udyam Registration helps businesses access government schemes, subsidies, loans and export promotion benefits.
Any business involved in food manufacturing, processing, storage, distribution or export requires FSSAI Registration.
APEDA Registration is required for exporters dealing in agricultural and processed food products from India.
RCMC (Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate) is needed if you want to claim benefits under India's Foreign Trade Policy or government export schemes for your specific product category — issued by the relevant Export Promotion Council or Commodity Board.
Yes. IEC lets you legally export/import; ICEGATE registration is what lets you file shipping bills and customs documents online and receive duty drawback or IGST refunds. Most active exporters need both.
It depends on your product and where you're shipping. Select "Not sure — need guidance" in the form, or message us on WhatsApp, and our team will map out exactly which registrations apply to you.
