Why Your Business Needs APEDA Registration

Under the APEDA Act, exporters of agricultural and processed food products must obtain a Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) before shipping scheduled products out of India. Getting registered correctly protects your business from:

  • Delays or rejection of export shipments at customs
  • Loss of eligibility for government export incentives and subsidies
  • Inability to access APEDA’s market development and quality support schemes
  • Non-compliance penalties under India’s export regulations
