Sub: FTP 2015-20 – Requests Updation of Importer-Exporter Profile
Dear Sir,
As you are aware, the new Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20 has identified trade facilitation and enhancing the ease of doing business as its major focus areas and it is Government's endeavour and commitment to move towards paperless processing.
In this connection, DGFT has issued Trade Notice 02/2015 dated May 26, 2015 notifying that a facility has been provided to importer/ exporter to upload his basic details and documents in the Importer-Exporter Profile. Once uploaded on the Importer-Exporter Profile, the importer/ exporter will not be required to submit these documents each time he/she/it applies for authorisations/ scrips under different schemes of the FTP.
The Council requests its members to update their Importer-Exporter Profile by 15th June, 2015 by logging into the DGFT website (http://dgft.gov.in/) and clicking on the icon "IEC Profile Updation" and updating the requisite information with their digital signature.
Members may make a note of the above and update the IEC Profile as per the guidelines given in the above Trade Notice.
A copy of DGFT Trade Notice No.02/2015 dated May 26, 2015 can be downloaded by following the link.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
V.ANIL KUMAR
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
