How to start

  1. Get an Import Export Code (IEC) from DGFT online; it is free and linked to your PAN.
  2. Register with PLEXCONCIL and get your RCMC (Registration-cum-Membership Certificate) through the DGFT e-RCMC system.
  3. Engineering plastic parts for overseas machine and appliance makers reward precision more than price.
