Need a trusted DGFT Consultant in Mumbai? Sohamma International Pvt. Ltd. offers expert DGFT, Advance Authorisation, EPCG, and customs services. Call 9324610494 today.
Most Mumbai businesses lose lakhs every year simply because they miss out on export incentives they are fully entitled to. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade runs schemes that can dramatically reduce your import costs and boost export competitiveness — but only if you know how to apply correctly and on time.
Sohamma International Pvt. Ltd., based in Borivali East, Mumbai, has built a reputation as a trusted DGFT Consultant in Mumbai by helping importers, exporters, and manufacturing units actually use these schemes — not just know about them.
What a DGFT Consultant Actually Does for Your Business
The DGFT is the government body that controls India's foreign trade policy. Its purview includes export licences, import authorisations, the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP), and dozens of schemes designed to cut costs for eligible businesses.
A competent consultant does far more than fill forms. They assess your HS codes, evaluate your eligibility, prepare applications that withstand DGFT scrutiny, and follow up until approvals land in your hand. Sohamma International handles this entire cycle for clients across Mumbai and Maharashtra.
Core DGFT and Customs Services Offered by Sohamma International
Advance Authorisation
Advance Authorisation allows duty-free import of inputs used in export production. Getting the input-output norms right is critical — errors lead to duty demands later. Sohamma International's Advance Authorisation Consultants in Mumbai guide clients through norms fixation, licence application, and export obligation discharge.
EPCG Scheme
The Export Promotion Capital Goods scheme lets businesses import capital goods at zero or reduced duty against an export obligation. The paperwork is detailed, and the timelines are strict. Sohamma's EPCG Consultants in Mumbai manage the full process from application to redemption.
Moowr Scheme and EOU Debonding
The Manufacture and Other Operations in Warehouse Regulations (Moowr) scheme offers significant duty deferment advantages for manufacturing units. Meanwhile, companies exiting EOU status need proper debonding handled with precision to avoid duty liability. Sohamma operates as both Moowr Scheme Consultants and Debonding of EOU Scheme Consultants in Mumbai, offering end-to-end support for both.
SVB and Policy Relaxation Committee
Special Valuation Branch (SVB) matters arise when customs questions the declared value of goods between related parties. Sohamma's SVB Consultants in Mumbai represent clients before SVB authorities and help resolve assessments efficiently. The firm also handles Policy Relaxation Committee applications for situations where standard DGFT provisions do not apply.
Steel and Paper Import Monitoring System Compliance
India's Steel Import Monitoring System (SIMS) and Paper Import Monitoring System (PIMS) are mandatory pre-registration requirements for respective importers. Non-compliance means shipments can be held at port. Sohamma International serves as a Steel Import Monitoring System Consultant and Paper Import Monitoring System Consultant in Mumbai, ensuring registrations are completed accurately before cargo arrives.
Freight Forwarding, Customs Clearance, and MEIS/SEIS Licence Trading
Efficient logistics support sits alongside regulatory advisory at Sohamma International. The firm provides freight forwarding consultancy and works as a Customs Clearance Agent in Mumbai, managing documentation, duty payments, and port procedures for both imports and exports.
For businesses with MEIS and SEIS entitlements they cannot fully consume, Sohamma also facilitates buying and selling of MEIS and SEIS licences — a legal and commercially valuable option many exporters overlook.
Restricted items that require a specific import licence are another area of specialisation. Sohamma's Restricted Items Licence Consultants guide clients through the application process at DGFT regional offices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does a DGFT Consultant in Mumbai help with?
A DGFT Consultant manages applications for licences and authorisations issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade — including Advance Authorisation, EPCG, MEIS/SEIS, and restricted item licences — and ensures compliance with current Foreign Trade Policy provisions.
Q2. Who needs an Advance Authorisation licence?
Exporters who import raw materials or inputs for use in export production can apply for Advance Authorisation to import those inputs duty-free. It is particularly valuable for manufacturers with high import content in their export products.
Q3. What is the Moowr Scheme and who qualifies?
Moowr allows manufacturing operations inside a customs-bonded warehouse, deferring customs duty on imported inputs until goods leave the warehouse for the domestic market. Exporters pay no duty at all. Manufacturers with significant import requirements typically benefit most.
Q4. Can I sell my MEIS or SEIS licence if I don't need it?
Yes. MEIS and SEIS scrips are transferable instruments. Businesses that cannot use their full entitlement against their own import duty payments can sell them to other importers. Sohamma International facilitates these transactions.
Q5. What documents are needed for Steel or Paper Import Monitoring System registration?
Requirements include the IEC code, importer details, HS code of the goods, country of origin, and shipment details. Registration must be completed online before the bill of lading date. Sohamma handles the process to ensure no shipments are held at port due to missing registration.
