Tobacco Export is an excellent business opportunity which promises excellent returns.
Given below is the Process for getting a Tobacco Export License in India:
The Tobacco Board of India is a facilitator for tobacco growers, traders and exporters.
The Tobacco Board, apart from issue of annual registration for various categories of Traders (Exporters & Manufacturers) under the Act, also grants Registration-cum-Membership Certificates as outlined, in Chapter 2 of the Foreign Trade Policy and Hand Book of Procedures.
Application for RCMC is to be made in the prescribed Form (ANF -2C), which can be obtained from Tobacco Board on request or downloaded from the Tobacco Board website. The procedure for online application for RCMC is available at http://www.tobaccoboard.in/REGISTRATION/RCMC%20Certification.pdf.
The completely filled in application shall be submitted online to Board (along with scanned copies) at http://www.tobaccoboard.in/ or physically to Tobacco Board, Guntur.
The following documents are required for filing the application :
-
- Self Certified Photocopy of the Import Export Code number issued by the DGFT Office.

Registration is granted as Merchant Exporter or Manufacturer Exporter. In case the exporter desires to get registration as Manufacturer Exporter, he shall furnish evidence of manufacturing activity owned by their firm (for example License issued by Industries Department/IDR Act, 1951)) or MSME registration along with application.
