Export Business Training Varanasi

The Varanasi Export Profile

1. Handloom & Silk: The famous Banarasi silk and brocades are often GI-tagged (Geographical Indication). Exporting these requires precise quality certification and adherence to labeling requirements unique to the textile trade.

2. Carpets & Rugs: The nearby regions, including Bhadohi (part of the Varanasi cluster), are major centers for carpet export. This involves complex logistics, dealing with international buyers’ strict quality inspection protocols, and managing bulk container shipments.

3. Handicrafts & Spiritual Items: Metalware, wooden toys, and puja items are exported globally. These items often require special packaging to prevent damage and specific customs declarations regarding material composition.

Logistics and Infrastructure

The city’s improved connectivity, including the Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (offering air cargo facilities) and the region’s strong road networks connecting to major sea ports (Kolkata/Haldia and Vizag), makes the movement of goods feasible. However, mastering the paperwork that coordinates these multimodal movements is essential.

The GlobaX Difference: Our training focuses on the specific compliance issues faced by Varanasi exporters—from accurate HS code classification for various textile weaves to securing payment for custom-made, high-value artistic goods.

🚧 Common Pitfalls for Varanasi Exporters

Many local businesses, despite producing world-class goods, stumble when attempting to scale their exports due to common, yet preventable, mistakes:

• Under-Utilized Incentives: Varanasi exporters often miss claiming the full benefits of the RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) scheme or fail to secure licenses under the MAI (Market Access Initiative) due to a lack of knowledge regarding the DGFT (Directorate General of Foreign Trade) portal and application process.

• Mismanaging LCs (Letters of Credit): A simple discrepancy in the presentation of documents under an LC can result in the bank rejecting payment, placing the entire financial burden on the exporter.

• Pricing Errors (Incoterms): Quoting prices to international buyers without accurately factoring in the cost and risk transfer specified by Incoterms 2020® can make a product unprofitable by inadvertently absorbing extra shipping or insurance costs.

• Freight Forwarder Selection: Inefficiently choosing a freight forwarding partner leads to delays, high demurrage costs, and loss of buyer confidence—a critical issue for perishable (e.g., spices) or time-sensitive (e.g., silk for a fashion season) goods.
