RCMC Registration Support
Starting an international trade business in India involves more than merely obtaining a 10-digit Import Export Code (IEC). To actually ship commercial goods across sea ports or airports, receive foreign inward remittances in business bank accounts, and claim government export incentives, a business must establish a complete EXIM compliance ecosystem.
At MSME Guruji, we package all statutory steps—from legal entity formation, DGFT registration, customs EDI activation, AD code bank liaison, GST Letter of Undertaking (LUT), to Export Promotion Council membership (RCMC)—into a seamless, end-to-end launch journey.
Zero Customs Friction Guarantee
By aligning your bank AD code, ICEGATE port profile, and GST zero-rated export declarations before your cargo arrives at the container terminal, we eliminate customs demurrage, cargo holds, and cash-flow blockages.
Every legitimate and scaleable cross-border enterprise requires these foundational pillars.
