India-side compliance

To export turmeric from India, you generally need:

• IEC from DGFT
• GST registration if applicable
• RCMC if you want to claim export incentives like RoDTEP
• Customs filing through ICEGATE

Practical benefits on this route

• Low Egypt duty (2%) makes the product relatively cost-competitive.
• RoDTEP benefit (1.4% FOB) helps offset logistics and compliance costs.
• India is the world’s largest exporter of turmeric, so sourcing, quality grading, and documentation are well-established.
