Recently, the Indian government has taken several efforts to encourage investment and better technology and skills in order to encourage the use of the country's brand name on the global market. Apart from that, the GOI has permitted 100 percent foreign direct investment in the industry through an automatic mechanism, meaning that neither the RBI nor the GOI must provide their consent. Due to these factors, the gems and jewelry export industry is seeing rapid expansion, attracting new entrants and start-ups.
So, let’s have a look at how to start gems and jewelry from India-
Become a PAN member
Obtaining a Permanent Account Number (PAN) from the IT department is required for every firm in the gem and jewelry export promotion council. Creating a current account in the selected banks and applying for IEC from the DGFT, it would aid firms.
Acquire an Authorized Dealer Code by opening a bank account.
Opening a current account with a bank authorized to deal in foreign exchange is the next logical step for the applicant. On the other hand, the bank where your company has current account grants you an Authorized Dealer Code (AD code). As a rule, all exporters must file an AD at the port where their goods are cleared by customs.
Code for Import and Export
The IEC Registration is a ten-digit identifier used to identify EXIM businesses and their owners. In order for cargo to leave the port, it must be accompanied by this document. This certification must be available to every Indian export business in order to carry out Exim-related activities without running afoul of the law.
The DGFT, which is part of the Indian government, awards the Import Export Code. The applicant must submit an online application to the DGFT site in order to get this certificate. The applicant will be sent to the payment gateway to submit the application fee at the very end of the process.
Set up an AD account
Make sure to register an AD code at the ports where your cargo is likely to arrive for customs clearance after obtaining IEC from DGFT. Ice Gate, a customs-specific website, is used by the customs authorities to produce shipping invoices using AD code. Exporters that use this code might expect faster payment from their customers.
Gems and Jewellery Trade Development Committee
The gem and jewelry export promotion council oversees the activities of the Gems and Jewelry Export Promotion Council. The institution was established to raise the quality of items destined for export in order to make local players internationally competitive. In addition, this organization often devises new ways to encourage the gems and jewelry business in India
A BIS certification (for Manufacturer cum exporter)
The BIS hallmark is a gold and silver jewelry hallmarking standard. Customers may rest easy knowing that the metal they are purchasing is of the highest quality. The Bureau of Indian Standards sets the standards for the Hallmarking system. Exporters of diamonds are required by law to get BIS certification before sending their wares overseas since it enhances their products' visibility on the global market.
