Export Shipping

1. Documents

● Invoice

● Packing list

● Bill of lading

● Phytosanitary certificate

● Certificate of origin

2. Shipment Booking

You can choose sea or air transport, depending on the order size. Don’t forget to get insurance. It protects you if anything gets damaged or delayed.

3. Check if export duty applies

India has imposed an export duty on certain types of rice, including parboiled non-basmati rice. These rules are subject to change, so please check for the latest update before shipping.

4. Legal Compliance and Licences for Export

To export rice from India, there are several legal requirements to consider:

Register with APEDA. This is the main body responsible for handling rice exports. Once you register, you’ll get an RCMC certificate to claim benefits and complete paperwork.

● If you’re exporting basmati rice, you’ll have to register each export contract with APEDA before shipping.

● Ensure your rice passes quality checks. The Export (Quality Control and Inspection) Act of 1963 states that rice must meet specific standards before being exported from the country. This includes packaging, grading, and labelling rules.

● Here are a few more documents you’ll need before shipping:

• A phytosanitary certificate to show the rice is pest-free.

• A certificate of origin to prove it’s grown in India.

• A commercial invoice with proper value and buyer details.

● Also, keep an eye on any export duties or restrictions. These changes vary depending on the rice variety or policy. If everything is in place, you’re legally ready to ship rice from India.
