NOC for DGFT (Restricted Import/Export Authorisation)
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.
