Govt authorizes MEDEPC to issue registration certificates for export of mobile phones, electronic items

The government authorized the Mobile and Electronic Devices Export Promotion Council (MEDEPC) to issue registration certificates, a key document for exporters, for certain products related to the sector, including smartphones, smart watches, monitors, and parts of mobile phones. According to the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP), a Registration and Membership Certificate (RCMC) is required for exporters in order to avail themselves of benefits under the policy. Holding the certificate can also help exporters avail of benefits with respect to customs and excise.

This certificate is issued by export promotion councils and commodity boards.

“MEDEPC has been included in the appendix 2T of FTP 2015-20 for issuing RCMC for specific items, with immediate effect,” the directorate general of foreign trade (DGFT) said in a public notice.

The certificates issued by the TEPC until January 9, 2023 will remain valid until their expiration, it said.

MEDEPC can issue certificates for items such as monitors, projectors, televisions, printers, photocopying machines, automatic data processing machines, vibrator motors, static converters; parts of electrical transformers; lithium ion battery for cellular mobile phones; parts of accumulators, semiconductor devices; and charging cables.
