Frequently asked — Namche Bazaar

What is duty drawback in India?
Duty Drawback (DBK) is a refund of customs duties paid on imported raw materials subsequently used in the manufacture of exported goods. Two types: (1) All Industry Rate (AIR) — published rates for broad product categories; (2) Brand Rate — specific rate calculated for your actual input costs. Claimed through shipping bill at time of export.
What is an Advance Authorisation?
Advance Authorisation allows duty-free import of raw materials and inputs for manufacture of specific exported goods, subject to export obligation. Issued by DGFT before or after export. Common for pharma, chemicals, textiles where imported API or yarn is used in exported finished goods.
What is supply chain finance and how can it help?
Supply chain finance (SCF) is a set of financial solutions allowing large EU buyers to extend payment terms while enabling Indian suppliers to receive early payment at a lower cost. Example: EU retailer (Buyer) has 90-day payment terms; SCF platform allows Indian exporter (Supplier) to receive payment in 2-5 days at a small discount — using the EU buyer' credit rating. Programmes offered by Santander, BNP Paribas, HSBC, and others in EU.
What is the GSTIN requirement for exports?
All Indian exporters must be registered under GST and have a GSTIN. Exports are zero-rated under GST — you do not charge GST to your EU buyer. You either: (a) file LUT and export without paying IGST, or (b) pay IGST at export and claim a GST refund. Input GST paid on raw materials and services used in the exported goods is refundable.
