merchant exporter has to get GST registration and apply for E-Wallet (in place of CT-1 Earlier) after which he can be able to procure the duty free goods for export, balance formalities are similer to older one,

Exports are regulated under IGST so the excise or CGST department wil handle the file and key issues

the merchant exporter can procure goods @ 0.05% CGST + 0.05% SGST and 0.1% IGST from domestic market

In case of intra-state supply – CGST is payable @ 0.05% and SGST is payable 0.05%
In case of inter-state supply – IGST is payable @ 0.1%
