Duty Exemption Scheme validates duty-free import of inputs required for export
production. It includes Advance Authorisation and Duty-Free Import Authorisation (
DFIA Scheme ) which enables exporter to import duty-free inputs required for goods
to be exported. The exporter can also purchase domestic inputs under this scheme by
obtaining Invalidation letter. Interlink Capital provides Duty Remission and Duty
Exemption Scheme services and helps you to avail the exemption benefits. These
schemes enable exporter to avail exemption at the input stage thereby reducing
blockage of funds in duties.

canalized/ bought through STEs or after obtaining No Objection Certificate from
STEs. In Duty exemption scheme, duty free import of inputs are allowed, that are
physically incorporated in the export product with minimum 15% value addition. AA
normally has a validity period of 12 months for the purpose of making imports and a
period of 18 months for the fulfilment of Export Obligation (EO) from the date of

DFIA is a variant to Advance Authorization scheme. It is different from Advance
Authorization as a higher minimum value addition of 20% is required, as compared to
only 15% in Advance Authorization. It is popular with exporters who export first and
then obtain the Authorization, which can be sold freely.
