DGFT stands for Directorate General of Foreign Trade. It is a government authority under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, responsible for implementing India's Foreign Trade Policy and regulating various import and export activities.

A DGFT license refers to an authorisation issued by the DGFT for importing or exporting certain restricted or regulated products. Not every product requires a separate DGFT license. The requirement depends on its classification under the ITC (HS) policy and applicable foreign trade regulations.

Why is a DGFT License important?

• Helps eligible businesses obtain authorisation for restricted imports or exports.

• Supports compliance with India's Foreign Trade Policy.

• Enables businesses to meet specific product-related trade requirements.

• Helps importers and exporters understand applicable permissions before conducting transactions.

How can businesses apply for a DGFT License?

Applicants generally need to identify the applicable authorisation, check eligibility, prepare the required documents, and submit an application through the DGFT online portal. Additional approvals may be necessary depending on the product.
