Global Expansion with Compliance Confidence
Global Expansion with Compliance Confidence
International trade offers growth opportunities but demands compliance with complex import-export regulations, customs procedures, and foreign trade policies. Probitas Law Associates helps businesses optimize cross-border operations while ensuring full regulatory compliance.
Our international trade practice begins with fundamental registrations—ImporterExporter Code (IEC) from DGFT, GST registration for import-export, Authorized Dealer Code for foreign exchange transactions, and sector-specific import licenses. We handle the entire registration process, ensuring businesses can commence international operations swiftly.

Customs compliance is critical for cost-effective trade. We advise on customs classification (HSN/ITC codes), customs valuation methods, duty optimization strategies, advance authorization and EPCG schemes for duty exemption, and warehousing solutions. Our practice includes drafting bills of entry, shipping bills, and managing customs assessments.
Foreign Trade Policy offers numerous incentive schemes. We help exporters access MEIS/RoDTEP benefits, duty credit scrips, SEZ and EOU benefits, advance authorization for duty-free imports, and Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) scheme benefits— maximizing available incentives while ensuring compliance.
Trade remedies protect domestic industries but create compliance obligations. We advise on anti-dumping duty implications, countervailing duties, safeguard measures, and represent clients in Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) proceedings.
Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) reduce duty burdens. Our FTA practice covers Rules of Origin interpretation, certificate of origin procurement, FTA utilization strategies across India’s FTA network (ASEAN, Korea, Japan, UAE), and compliance documentation.
Customs litigation and dispute resolution address classification disputes, valuation disagreements, confiscation and penalty proceedings, and appeals before Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal (CESTAT).
