Importer & Exporter Industry
Brief Industry Introduction
India’s import-export sector is the backbone of international trade, driving growth by enabling businesses to access global markets, expand customer bases, and strengthen foreign exchange reserves. While exporters benefit from various government incentives, duty drawback schemes, and tax concessions, they must also navigate a complex framework of documentation, compliance, and international taxation. Importers, on the other hand, face challenges such as customs duties, valuation issues, fluctuating exchange rates, and compliance with FEMA, DGFT, and RBI regulations.
At Mangesh Kadam & Associates, we provide end-to-end advisory, compliance, and risk management solutions for exporters, importers, and trading houses.
