RoDTEP (Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products) refunds taxes and duties built into the cost of exported goods that are not refunded any other way, such as duty on fuel and electricity. The benefit arrives as a transferable e-scrip in your ICEGATE ledger. Import Export Advisor reviews your shipping bills, generates and tracks the scrips for a flat ₹999 professional fee. As of October 2026 the scheme is extended to 31 December 2026.

- ICEGATE login and Class 3 DSC
- List of shipping bills with the RoDTEP claim declared
- IEC and AD Code details
How does RoDTEP work?
The exporter declares the RoDTEP claim on the shipping bill, Customs processes it after export, and the exporter generates an e-scrip on ICEGATE for the eligible amount. The scrip can be used to pay basic customs duty on imports or sold to another importer.
- 01Declare the RoDTEP claim on each shipping bill at the time of export
- 02Customs processes the claim after the let export order
- 03Create the e-scrip on ICEGATE against the processed shipping bills
- 04Use the scrip for import duty or transfer it to a buyer
The claim must be declared on the shipping bill. A shipping bill filed without the declaration usually cannot be claimed later, so we check this with your customs broker before shipment.
What are RoDTEP rates?
RoDTEP rates are notified per tariff line as a percentage of the FOB value, often with a maximum value per unit. Rates for DTA exports are in Appendix 4R and for AA, EOU and SEZ exports in Appendix 4RE.
The 30 September 2026 extension kept the existing rates and caps unchanged until 31 December 2026. Check the current appendix on DGFT for your HS code, or ask us to check it on a free call.
Can you claim RoDTEP and duty drawback together?
Yes. RoDTEP and duty drawback refund different taxes, so the same export can usually get both. Drawback refunds customs duty on inputs; RoDTEP refunds embedded taxes that drawback does not cover.
