Trade Regulations Update: What Changed for Exporters in 2026

New DGFT notifications, RoDTEP rate revisions, and updated e-BRC norms — a quick roundup for Indian exporters and their global buyers.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued several key updates in early 2026 that affect how Indian exports are documented and incentivized.

RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) rates have been revised for several HS codes relevant to textiles and spices. Exporters should verify their current rate before quoting.

Electronic Bank Realisation Certificates (e-BRC) are now fully automated through AD banks — reducing paperwork and speeding refunds.

A new simplified Certificate of Origin process has been rolled out under the India-UAE CEPA, making UAE-bound shipments particularly cost-effective for qualifying products.

For buyers, this means better pricing, faster documentation, and fewer delays at destination customs.
