Export Compliance

Hi

Last month we did an export consignment. Currently we have FIRA certificate for payment and shipping bill from customs. 

What other compliance to be followed like submitting documents in bank or any other govt portals?

Kindly guide me

Quick Summary
After obtaining your FIRA certificate and shipping bill for an export consignment, several key compliance steps remain. These include ensuring remittance is mapped and closed in the EDPMS portal via your AD bank, generating the eBRC, and accurately reporting the transaction in your GST returns (GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B). You'll also need to process any applicable GST refunds. It's crucial to confirm with your authorised dealer bank that all export documents have been submitted, the export is recorded, and proceeds are fully realised and closed in their system. Retain all relevant documents, including the shipping bill, invoice, transport document, FIRA, and bank correspondence, for your records.

To successfully close your export compliance after obtaining the shipping bill and FIRA, you must ensure the remittance is mapped and closed in the EDPMS portal through your AD bank, generate the eBRC, accurately report the transaction in GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, and process your GST refund (via RFD-01 for LUT exports or automatic ICEGATE processing for IGST-paid exports).

A FIRA and shipping bill are important records, but the facts provided do not establish whether the export proceeds have been fully realised or whether the bank has completed its export-document processing. Confirm the following with your authorised dealer (AD) bank:

  • Submit the shipping bill and any required export documents, including the commercial invoice and transport document, through the bank’s prescribed process; confirm that the export is reported/linked in the bank’s records.
  • Reconcile the FIRA with the invoice and shipping bill, including amount, currency, deductions and receipt date. Ask the bank to confirm whether the export proceeds are fully realised and the export transaction is closed or otherwise updated in its records.
  • Check whether any proceeds remain outstanding or any extension, adjustment, refund or other clarification is needed. The applicable timeline and steps depend on the transaction and your bank’s requirements.
  • Retain the shipping bill, invoice, transport document, FIRA and bank correspondence. No further government-portal filing can be confirmed from the information given; it depends on the export scheme, product and transaction details.
