RoDTEP Finder

RoDTEP — Remission of Duties and Taxes on Exported Products — is India's WTO-compatible scheme (in force since 1 January 2021) that refunds the embedded central, state and local levies that no other mechanism returns to exporters: electricity duty, VAT on transport fuel, mandi tax, stamp duty and the like. This page explains how the rates work and walks you to the official schedule — we deliberately don't mirror the rate table, because it's thousands of lines and changes by notification.

How the benefit works

• Rates are set per 8-digit HS line in Appendix 4R of the Foreign Trade Policy (with Appendix 4RE covering advance-authorisation/EOU/SEZ exports where notified).
• Each line gets a rebate as a percentage of FOB value — historically roughly in the 0.01%–4.3% range — usually with a value cap per unit (₹/kg, ₹/piece…), or occasionally a fixed amount per unit.
• The benefit is issued as a transferable duty-credit e-scrip in your ICEGATE credit ledger, usable against basic customs duty or sellable.
• You must claim it in the shipping bill (declare the RoDTEP intent per item) — no declaration, no scrip.
• Some categories are excluded or restricted, and rates get revised by DGFT notification (there were significant revisions in 2025–26) — always read the current schedule, never a cached copy.

Look up your line — 4 steps

1. Find your 8-digit ITC-HS code (start with our HS Code Lookup).
2. Open the official DGFT RoDTEP page — rates under Appendix 4R / 4RE.
3. Find your HS line; note the rate (% of FOB) and any value cap per unit, and check the notification date is current.
4. Estimate your scrip below — then confirm treatment with your CHA, since the shipping-bill declaration and RITC line drive the actual credit.
