Service Definition

What is the EPCG Scheme and How Does It Work?

The Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme is a major export incentive under India's Foreign Trade Policy that allows exporters to import capital goods required for production of export goods at zero customs duty. The capital goods can be for pre-production, production, and post-production activities — covering machinery, equipment, instruments, moulds, jigs, and spares.

In exchange for the duty exemption, the exporter must fulfil an Export Obligation (EO) equal to 6 times the duty saved on the imported capital goods, within a period of 6 years from the date of EPCG Authorisation issuance. Annual EO statements must be submitted to DGFT. On fulfilment of the export obligation, the licence is redeemed through an EODC application.

Documentation

Documents and Requirements

Export / Application Documents

  • IEC Certificate of the Exporter
  • RCMC from relevant Export Promotion Council
  • CA Certificate certifying the duty saved value
  • Technical Specifications of Capital Goods to be Imported
  • Commercial Invoice and Packing List for Capital Goods
  • Proof of Export Turnover — Audited Accounts or CA Certificate
  • Installation Certificate for Capital Goods (post-import)
  • Export Shipping Bills and e-BRC for EO fulfilment (for redemption)
⚠️ EPCG licences MUST be endorsed at the customs port of import BEFORE the capital goods are cleared. Importing capital goods without customs endorsement on the EPCG licence means the duty exemption benefit is forfeited and full duty becomes payable.

Import / Supporting Documents

  • EPCG Authorisation from DGFT with all endorsements
  • Customs Endorsement at Port of Import on EPCG Licence
  • Bill of Entry for Capital Goods Imported Under EPCG
  • Duty Exemption / Zero Duty Customs Assessment Order
  • Capital Goods Commissioning and Installation Certificate
  • Annual EO Performance Statement filed with DGFT
  • EODC from DGFT upon successful redemption
  • Nexus Certificate from DGFT (if applicable)
⚠️ Annual EO performance statements must be filed with DGFT every year during the EPCG validity period even if no exports have been made that year. Failure to file annual statements can result in regularisation proceedings and penalty.

DGFT Portal Daily Practice

Our team works on the DGFT portal daily — EPCG applications, amendments, follow-ups, and EO statements filed accurately first time.

Export Obligation Precision

Incorrect EO calculation leads to either under-import or compliance shortfall. We calculate export obligations precisely using the correct duty rates and CIF values.

Timely EOP Extension

An EOP extension must be applied before the 6-year period expires. We track each EPCG licence expiry and initiate extension applications in advance.

EODC Compilation Expertise

EODC redemption requires careful compilation of export data from multiple shipping bills across years. We maintain records and compile this systematically.

Customs Endorsement Coordination

The critical customs endorsement step is often missed or delayed. We coordinate this between the DGFT licence and the customs port before capital goods arrive.

Multi-Licence Management

Exporters with multiple EPCG licences at different stages need systematic management. We maintain a dashboard of all EPCG licences, deadlines, and EO status.

Common Questions

Clear answers about how CargoMate handles epcg authorisation services.

Answers reflect general practice. Contact CargoMate for guidance specific to your requirements.

Capital goods eligible for EPCG include plant and machinery, mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic equipment, accessories, instruments, tools, jigs, fixtures, moulds, dies, and computer software used for production of export goods. Second-hand capital goods are also eligible subject to conditions.
Export Obligation = 6 times the duty saved on imported capital goods. Duty Saved = CIF value of capital goods × applicable basic customs duty rate. The EO must be fulfilled by export of goods produced using the EPCG capital goods within 6 years.
If EO is not fulfilled, the importer must pay the full customs duty that was exempted, plus interest at 15% per annum from the date of import. To avoid this, an EOP extension application with composition fee must be filed before the 6-year period expires.
Yes. EPCG licences can be amended for addition of new capital goods, change in export products, or in cases of merger, demerger, or acquisition of the company, the EPCG benefits can be transferred to the successor entity.
For EODC filing: export shipping bills covering the EO period, e-BRC or bank realisation certificates for the exports, EPCG licence copy with all customs endorsements, and CA certificate certifying the export performance. We prepare and compile all of this for you.
