Export Business Training UP

Section 1: The UP Advantage – Why Train Here, Now?

Uttar Pradesh offers unique geographic, demographic, and product-specific advantages that, when combined with expert training, guarantee a competitive edge.

The Power of One District One Product (ODOP)

UP’s ODOP scheme has formalized its unique product clusters, making sourcing and quality control easier for exporters:

Infrastructure & Digital Leap

The course will teach you to utilize UP’s rapidly developing infrastructure:

• Dry Ports (ICDs): Efficient use of Inland Container Depots (ICDs) like those in Dadri and Kanpur to complete customs formalities inland, saving time and port costs.

• Digital Trade: Mastery of the DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) portal and the new Bharat Trade Net (BTN) digital infrastructure for simplified licensing and documentation.

📝 Section 2: The Core Roadmap – From Idea to First Shipment

A structured training program breaks the daunting process into manageable, mastery-focused phases. Here is the five-phase roadmap you will master:

Phase 1: Foundation and Legal Setup

• Business Entity: Guidance on forming the correct legal structure (Pvt. Ltd., LLP, etc.).

• The Golden Ticket – IEC: Step-by-step application for the mandatory Importer-Exporter Code (IEC), which is now entirely digital (PAN-based).

• RCMC Registration: Applying for the Registration-cum-Membership Certificate (RCMC) from the relevant Export Promotion Council (EPC) based on your product (e.g., Handicrafts EPC for Moradabad Brassware). This is crucial for accessing benefits.

Phase 2: Product, Market & Pricing Strategy

• HS Code Mastery: Learning to correctly classify your product using the Harmonized System (HS) Code. This determines customs duties, tariffs, and eligibility for export benefits worldwide.

• Global Market Research: Practical use of tools like Trade Map and UN Comtrade to identify high-demand countries for UP’s products.

• Export Costing: Developing a comprehensive export costing sheet, accurately calculating FOB (Free On Board) and CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) prices by factoring in domestic costs, duty benefits, logistics, and insurance.

Phase 3: Finance and Risk Mitigation

• Payment Security: In-depth training on international payment terms, with a focus on mitigating risk through the Letter of Credit (LC) mechanism (understanding $UCP\,600$).

• Forex Management: Basics of the foreign exchange market, covering risk hedging strategies to protect your profits from currency volatility (e.g., USD/INR rate fluctuations).

• ECGC Coverage: Utilizing the Export Credit Guarantee Corporation (ECGC) for credit insurance, which protects you against non-payment risks from foreign buyers.

Phase 4: Documentation and Customs Clearance

• Documentation Drill: Hands-on preparation and verification of all essential export documents: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Shipping Bill, Bill of Lading (B/L) / Airway Bill (AWB), and Certificate of Origin.

• Customs Process: Understanding the role of the Custom House Agent (CHA) and the process of filing the Shipping Bill on the ICEGATE portal for final customs clearance at the port.

Phase 5: Logistics and Shipping

• Incoterms® 2020: Mastering the 11 Incoterms to clearly define cost, risk, and responsibility transfer with the buyer, from EXW (Ex Works) to DAP (Delivered at Place).

• Freight Forwarding: Vetting and selecting reliable Freight Forwarders (FFs) for sea and air cargo, container selection (FCL/LCL), and optimizing transit routes from UP’s logistics nodes.

💰 Section 3: Schemes and Incentives – Maximizing UP’s Export Benefits

A trained exporter knows that profits are not just made on the sale, but on the efficient utilization of government support.

1. Duty Remission Schemes (RoDTEP)

Learn how to claim the RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) benefits. This scheme refunds embedded non-GST taxes (like electricity duties and fuel taxes) that are built into the cost of production, directly boosting your profitability.

2. Capital Investment Support (EPCG)

Understand the Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) scheme, which allows you to import crucial manufacturing machinery and equipment at zero customs duty to produce export-quality goods, thereby upgrading your UP factory to international standards.

3. Financial and Market Access Support

• Credit Guarantee Scheme for Exporters (CGSE): Know how to utilize this scheme, especially for MSMEs, which offers up to 100% credit guarantee coverage, making it easier to secure collateral-free working capital from banks.

• UP State Incentives: Specific to Uttar Pradesh, you’ll learn about financial incentives for freight/transportation to ports and assistance for participating in global exhibitions via the Market Access Initiative (MAI).
