Corpseed ITES

Anyone selling, manufacturing, storing, distributing, or transporting food in India needs to register with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India before they legally start operating. Whether you run a home-based tiffin service, a mid-sized manufacturing unit, or an export business, FSSAI license registration is the one compliance step you cannot skip.

Importing metal scrap into India can look straightforward, but the compliance requirements depend on the type of scrap, ITC(HS) code, condition of the material, country of origin, and applicable DGFT requirements. One of the first things an importer should determine is whether the proposed metal scrap is freely importable subject to conditions or whether its particular classification is restricted or otherwise regulated.

If you've ever tried to import a machine part, export a chemical sample, or bring in gold for your jewellery business, you've probably run into the same wall someone tells you "you need DGFT clearance for that" and then walks away. Nobody explains what that actually means. We get calls about this every week.
