CA for Importers & Import Trading Companies
GST on imports, customs duty accounting and FEMA compliance
Specialised CA services for importers, trading companies, and businesses importing goods or services — covering IGST on imports, customs duty, FEMA compliance for import payments, ITC on import GST, and transfer pricing for related-party imports.
Challenges Importers face
Common tax and compliance pain points we solve.
ITC on import IGST not claimed
When importing goods, IGST paid at customs (5%, 12%, 18%, or 28%) is available as Input Tax Credit. Many importers don't claim this credit correctly — or claim it in the wrong period — leading to excess GST outflow.
FEMA violations on advance import payments
Importing goods on advance payment terms (paying before shipment) beyond ₹5 lakh requires specific RBI compliance. Violations attract compounding fees. Import payments exceeding $1,00,000 without shipment within 6 months trigger RBI inquiry.
Customs duty anti-dumping and safeguard duties
Many categories of imports attract additional anti-dumping duty or safeguard duty beyond basic customs duty. Missing these in landed cost calculations leads to wrong pricing and profitability analysis.
