How to Start Export Business in India

• Creating an Organization — The first stage is to create a company, a private concern, or a partnership firm so that you may operate with a business model. Choose a name and logo that are easily understood on the worldwide market.
• Opening a Bank Account – Open a current account with a Foreign Exchange-authorized bank.
• Obtaining a Permanent Account Number (PAN) – Obtaining a Permanent Account Number (PAN) from the Income Tax Department is required for all enterprises engaged in foreign trade.
• Getting an IEC Number – An Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) is a 10-digit number issued by the Regional Authority of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade in conjunction with the PAN (DGFT). Businesses that deal with the import and export of commodities must have an IEC number.
• Obtaining the RCMC — In order to receive a benefit or concession under the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020, you must first obtain a Registration cum Membership Certificate (RCMC). Furthermore, an RCMC provides exporters with access to services and guidance from the relevant Export Promotion Councils, Community Boards, and other agencies.
• Product and Market – Before choosing on items and their destination countries, double-check that they are not on the concerned authorities’ prohibited or restricted list. Only after gaining a thorough awareness of current export trends, market size, competition, and other considerations should decisions be taken.
• Finding Buyers — Attend trade shows, buyer-seller meetings, exhibits, and B2B portals to find potential buyers. Other options for finding buyers include contacting the Indian Mission Abroad and the Indian Chamber of Commerce.
• Sampling — Demonstrate brand credibility by giving tailored samples in  response to customer requests.

Take into account all expenses incurred from production to marketing when determining pricing and costing. Offer the highest quality products at the most competitive pricing while maintaining a high profit margin. Be willing to negotiate if you want to make a successful deal.

• ECGC for risk mitigation – The Export Credit Guarantee Corporation Limited (ECGC) is a company that insures international trade risks. The policies of the ECGC protect exporters from nonpayment by importers.

India’s current economic situation is favourable to export enterprises. Make the most of it by participating intelligently in international trade. This will not only provide new opportunities for industry, but also for the country as a whole.
