Export License Cost in India  

About Our Service

What is Export License Cost in India?   

The Export License cost in India covers the total expense for obtaining an export license from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP). This includes the statutory government fee, cost of a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) for secure online filing, and a small professional service charge for documentation and DGFT application assistance.

The DGFT charges a fixed government fee of ₹500 for issuing an export license. When adding the DSC and service charges, the average total cost ranges between ₹1,999 and ₹3,999. This amount may vary slightly depending on the exporter’s category, filing complexity, and whether additional verification is required by DGFT.

Exporters dealing in restricted or controlled goods such as defense materials, chemicals, or dual-use machinery are required to obtain a DGFT license before shipment. However, goods listed as “freely permitted” in the export policy can be traded internationally without a separate license, which means no extra export license cost applies in such cases.

Ebizfiling offers exporters complete cost clarity before applying. We explain every cost element — government fee, DSC price, and service charge — upfront, ensuring total transparency. Our team assists with accurate filing, DGFT compliance, and faster approval while keeping your total export license cost minimal and predictable.

    I had a very complicated LLP striking off requirement. It took a long time due to Government (MCA) delays. Through out the period EbizFiling continued to support me and successfully completed the assignment. Truly stellar service, and I particularly want to thank Aman for his support. Will continue to do business with them.
