CAPEXIL Certification (Chemicals & Allied Products Export Promotion Council - RCMC)
Mandatory export council registration and RCMC for mineral products, rubber goods, paints, ceramics, paper, glass, and auto tyres.
Overview
CAPEXIL (Chemical & Allied Products Export Promotion Council), established in 1958 under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry from its headquarters in Kolkata, is the premier export promotion council for India’s diverse mineral, chemical-derived, and allied manufacturing sectors. Encompassing over 16 industrial commodity panels, CAPEXIL covers manufactured products including natural stones (granite, marble, sandstone), automotive tyres and rubber products, paints, varnishes, printing inks, ceramics, sanitaryware, glass and glassware, paper and paperboard, books and publications, cement, refractories, plywood, and ossein. Under Chapter 2 of the Foreign Trade Policy, holding an active CAPEXIL Registration Cum Membership Certificate (RCMC) is a non-negotiable statutory requirement for every exporter shipping goods under these panels. A CAPEXIL RCMC is essential to claim RoDTEP tax remissions, duty drawback, and zero-duty raw material import licenses under Advance Authorisation. Member exporters participate in premier international trade expos like Coverings USA, Marmomac Italy, and Tire Technology Expo Germany. JRC Legal manages complete CAPEXIL RCMC registration on the DGFT portal.
