Is there support for air freight?
Air freight assistance is available for notified perishable and high-value categories; confirm the current schedule.
What does the First Amendment change?
Amendments typically revise rates, caps, eligible categories and claim procedure. Always read the amendment GO alongside the base policy — several field rejections arise from applying base-policy rates after amendment.
How does it interact with ODOP?
ODOP exporters get priority and, in some heads, enhanced rates.
Does it interact with RoDTEP, EPCG, Advance Authorisation?
Those are Central schemes administered by DGFT; state benefits are additional and administered separately. There is no set-off between them.

The Export Promotion Bureau, under the MSME & Export Promotion Department, with district-level facilitation through DIEPC and the District Export Promotion Committee (DEPC).
What is the DEPC?
The District Export Promotion Committee, chaired by the District Magistrate, which prepares and monitors the District Export Action Plan — the main district-level instrument for export facilitation.

Filing freight claims without matching shipping bill, e-BRC and GST return data. Insist on reconciliation before submission.
