How to start

  1. Get an Import Export Code (IEC) from DGFT online; it is free and linked to your PAN.
  2. Register with EEPC India and get your RCMC (Registration-cum-Membership Certificate) through the DGFT e-RCMC system.
  3. Parts (chains, free-wheels, rims, saddles) for assemblers in Africa, South Asia and Latin America are the main MSME route.
  4. Ship in completely-knocked-down (CKD) kits to cut freight.
