Help & How-To

Frequently Asked Questions - EXIM Tools

Common questions about using our free export-import calculators and tools.

How do I use the EDPMS countdown clock effectively?

Enter your shipping bill number and export date. The tool calculates the 9-month deadline from RBI's EDPMS guidelines. You can set reminders, track multiple shipments, and export your tracking list as PDF. Share deadlines with your finance team via WhatsApp for timely action on pending realizations.

What is the difference between CBM and volumetric weight?

CBM (Cubic Meter) measures shipment volume for sea freight (FCL/LCL). Volumetric weight measures shipment volume for air freight, converting dimensions to billable weight. Sea freight uses CBM directly; air freight uses whichever is higher between actual weight and volumetric weight.

How do I choose the right Incoterms 2020 rule?

Consider: who controls logistics (you or buyer), your capability to arrange shipping, buyer's preference, and risk tolerance. FOB/CIF for sea shipments where seller handles port-to-port. FCA/DAP for air or multimodal. EXW if buyer handles everything. DDP if seller delivers to buyer's door.

Can I rely on RODTEP estimator for official claims?

The RODTEP estimator provides approximate values based on DGFT notified rates. Actual claims require verification on the DGFT portal. Rates change quarterly. Always cross-check with latest DGFT notifications and consult your CHA for accurate shipping bill declarations.

Are the tools free to use for commercial purposes?

Yes, all tools are free for both personal and commercial use. No registration or login required. However, redistribution of tool content as your own is not permitted. Results should be verified with official sources before business decisions.

How often is the ICEGATE error dictionary updated?

The error dictionary is updated weekly with new error codes from CBIC circulars, DGFT notifications, and user-submitted issues. You can also submit unknown error codes through our contact form for expert resolution steps.

What shipping mark information should I include?

Include: consignee name/address, supplier name/address, shipment number, port of loading/discharge, country of origin, package number, handling instructions (fragile, this side up, etc.), and net/gross weights. Follow ISPM-15 standards for wood packaging marks.

How do I calculate the forex buffer for my import order?

Enter your invoice value, payment terms (LC/advance/sight), expected payment date, and current USD/INR rate. The calculator suggests buffer percentage based on RBI's forward premium guidelines and market volatility. Consider 3-5% buffer for currency fluctuation risks.

Why does my volumetric weight exceed actual weight?

This happens when your shipment is bulky but light - common for items like electronics packaging, garments, or empty containers. Airlines charge based on volumetric weight to optimize cargo space. Reduce packaging dimensions or consolidate shipments to minimize costs.

Can I use the PDF signature pad for official documents?

The PDF signature pad creates visual signatures for internal approvals and non-regulatory documents. For official EXIM documents requiring digital signatures, use Class 3 DSC with signing software like emSigner or digital signature pads compliant with IT Act 2000.

How do I find the correct HS code for RODTEP calculation?

Use your product's 8-digit ITC-HS code from your export order or shipping bill. You can verify codes on the CBIC portal (https://www.cbic.gov.in) or DGFT's RODTEP schedule. The estimator suggests codes based on product category for accurate estimates.

Are these tools compliant with official government systems?

Our tools provide estimates and guidance based on publicly available information from DGFT, RBI, and CBIC. They are not official government portals. For official submissions, always use the primary portals: DGFT (https://dgft.gov.in), ICEGATE (https://icegate.gov.in), and the GST portal (https://www.gst.gov.in).

What is the formula for calculating CBM?

CBM (Cubic Meter) = Length (m) x Width (m) x Height (m). For multiple cartons, multiply by the quantity. For LCL shipments, freight charges are based on CBM or weight (metric tons), whichever is higher (W/M rule).

What information is needed for RODTEP estimation?

For RODTEP estimation, you need: ITC-HS code of your product, FOB value of export, quantity exported, and applicable RODTEP rate for your product category. Rates vary by product and are notified by DGFT. The estimator provides approximate rebate amounts.
