APEDA
Facilitate agri-export compliance and scale globally with APEDA Registration.
APEDA Registration is mandatory for businesses engaged in the export of scheduled agricultural and processed food products from India. It is governed by the APEDA Act, 1985, and regulated by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry.
Upon registration, exporters receive the RCMC (Registration-cum-Membership Certificate), which is required to avail financial assistance under APEDA’s export promotion schemes and is recognized by customs authorities.
Kanoons offers a hassle-free APEDA registration process with end-to-end documentation and filing support.
