What import policy tells you
Indian import policy determines whether and how a product can be brought into the country. For a given HS code, an item may be:
- Free — importable without a specific licence
- Restricted — allowed only with a licence, authorisation or under conditions
- Prohibited — not permitted for import
Export policy works the same way for goods leaving India. Knowing the policy early prevents planning a shipment that cannot legally proceed.
How Zavitec helps
You provide an HS/CTH code (or a product description to classify first). Zavitec returns the applicable import or export policy status and the conditions that go with it, drawn from official policy references, alongside the related customs and agency requirements.
Because policy is tied to classification, an accurate HS code matters — start with Indian HS code lookup if you are unsure of the code.
Who it is for
Importers confirming that goods can enter India, exporters reviewing policy conditions before shipping, and compliance teams checking whether a licence or authorisation is required.
Limitations and human review
Policy results are informational and may reference official sources; conditions can change and can depend on product specifics. Confirm restricted or conditional cases with a qualified customs professional before committing to a shipment.
