This is written for business owners, export heads, compliance managers, and serious exporters—not beginners.
It explains why policy interpretation matters commercially, not just legally.
India’s Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) is not a static rulebook—it is a living framework shaped by:
- FTP provisions & amendments
- Handbooks of Procedures (HBP)
- DGFT Public Notices & Trade Circulars
- Customs notifications & judicial precedents
For exporters and importers, misinterpreting FTP provisions can lead to:
- Loss of incentives and duty benefits
- Export Obligation (EO) defaults
- Licence misuse or invalidation
- Customs disputes and DGFT notices
- Strategic business decisions based on incorrect assumptions
Kafka Consultings LLP provides professional policy interpretation and strategic guidance under FTP, helping businesses translate policy language into executable, compliant, and commercially sound decisions.
Our role is not limited to explaining rules—we interpret policy in the context of your business model, products, export markets, and long-term growth plans
