NOC for DGFT (Restricted Import/Export Authorisation)

Secure DGFT NOC Approvals Seamlessly: Your Gateway to Importing & Exporting Restricted Goods

India’s import–export ecosystem is governed by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) under the Ministry of Commerce.

For trading restricted goods — such as chemicals, wildlife items, high-tech materials, defence items, or environmentally sensitive products — businesses must obtain a DGFT No Objection Certificate (NOC).

Absolute Veritas assists you in identifying eligibility, preparing documents, filing applications, and securing approvals without delays.

What is DGFT?

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade regulates India’s external trade to ensure compliance with:

  • National regulations
  • Foreign trade policies

What Are Restricted Items?

These may include:

  • Strategic / defence items

To trade such items, a DGFT NOC is compulsory.
