Frequently Asked Questions on...​ Deemed Exports

Deemed Exports refer to supplies of goods that do not leave the country but are still treated as exports under the Foreign Trade Policy.

They are considered exports because the goods are supplied against specific benefits or schemes, even though the goods are consumed domestically.

Supplies to EOUs (Export Oriented Units), Advance Authorisation holders, EPCG Authorisation holders, and projects financed by international agencies are treated as deemed exports.

Suppliers can claim refund of duties, taxes, or may receive benefits like drawback, depending on the policy provisions.

Generally, the supplier of goods can claim the benefits, though in some cases the recipient may also be allowed, subject to DGFT conditions.
