📦 Exporters, don’t forget to renew your LUT!

If you export goods or services without paying IGST, your Letter of Undertaking (LUT) is an important part of the process.

⚠️ Here’s what you need to remember:

📅 LUT is valid for the financial year for which it is furnished. It does not automatically renew, so you need to file it again for the new financial year.

✅ You can file Form GST RFD-11 through the GST Portal.

💰 Filing an LUT is free on the GST Portal. Without a valid LUT, you may need to export on payment of IGST and then claim a refund, subject to applicable rules.

Don’t leave it until your next shipment is ready. Check your LUT status and renew it in time!

💬 Comment “LUT” and I’ll share a practical LUT filing checklist.

📌 Save this reel as a reminder for your export documentation.

📩 Sending cold emails to Gulf buyers but getting no replies?

Your follow-up strategy may need a change.

Instead of relying only on email, try a professional, multi-channel approach:

1️⃣ Start with email or LinkedIn to introduce your company and products.

2️⃣ Wait around two business days before following up, if appropriate.

3️⃣ Use WhatsApp Business for a short, personalized follow-up when the buyer has shared their number or indicated that WhatsApp is an appropriate contact channel.

Keep your message brief, mention your earlier introduction, and explain why your product may be relevant to their business.

⚠️ Remember: no channel guarantees a reply, and response rates vary by industry, audience and message quality. Avoid unsolicited or repeated messages.

💬 Comment “WHATSAPP” and I’ll share a practical message template for following up with potential buyers.

🌶️ Do you really need a big factory to export spices?

Not necessarily.

If you want to build your own spice brand, you can work with a registered processor/manufacturer to get your blends produced and then sell them under your own brand in international markets. 🌍

This can make the business model more accessible for entrepreneurs who have the brand, product idea and marketing vision, but don’t want to invest heavily in their own manufacturing facility from day one.

But exporting branded spices involves more than just packaging. You need to understand product compliance, food regulations, labelling, packaging, pricing, documentation, buyer discovery and international shipping.

💬 Comment “MASALA” and I’ll share the roadmap for selling your branded spices in global markets.

📌 Save this reel if you’re planning to build an Indian food brand for international customers.

🎬 Your animation or VFX skill can become an export business.

You don’t always need to export a physical product. If you’re an animator, video editor, 3D artist, or VFX professional, you can work with clients outside India and export your services from your home or studio.

🌍 From animation and 3D modelling to VFX, editing and post-production, Indian creative professionals can work with international production companies and agencies.

The opportunity is simple: your skill can reach a global market.

But getting foreign clients requires more than just technical skills. You need the right portfolio, pricing, client outreach, contracts, payment setup and delivery process.

💬 Comment “VFX” and I’ll share the roadmap for exporting VFX services.

📌 Save this reel if you want to turn your creative skill into a global service business.

🛍️🌍 Can Indian sellers start selling on Etsy again?

Yes — Etsy currently says new shops can be opened from India. 🇮🇳

Indian sellers can use Etsy to sell internationally, but there are some important requirements:

✅ Valid GSTIN
✅ Payoneer Payment Account
✅ Bank account details
✅ Seller identity verification
💵 A one-time $10 USD shop setup fee currently applies to new Indian shops.

Etsy also says new Indian shops currently cannot accept domestic sales, so this is essentially an international-selling opportunity.

For handmade and craft businesses, this can be an interesting channel to explore — especially if your products are distinctive, giftable and suitable for international buyers.

But don’t just open a shop and upload products.

You need to work on:
📸 Product photography
🔎 Etsy SEO & keywords
💰 Pricing and margins
📦 International shipping
📝 Product descriptions
⭐ Reviews and customer experience

👇 Comment “ETSY” and I’ll share a practical checklist for developing your Etsy store.

🇦🇪📄 One missing document can make your UAE shipment more expensive.

If your product qualifies for preferential treatment under the India–UAE CEPA, the Certificate of Origin is an important part of claiming the benefit.

The agreement provides preferential tariff treatment for qualifying originating goods, subject to the applicable Rules of Origin and product-specific requirements.

The Certificate of Origin includes details such as:
📌 HS Code
📌 Product description & quantity
📌 Exporter/producer details
📌 Country of origin
📌 Origin criteria
📌 Commercial invoice details

It must be issued by the competent authority and forwarded to the importer; UAE Customs may require the original.

And remember: preferential duty is not automatic for every product. You need to check the specific HS code, tariff commitment and Rules of Origin before promising a buyer a 0% rate.

Want a simple UAE CEPA Certificate of Origin checklist?

👇 Comment “CEPA” and I’ll share it.

Save this before your next UAE shipment.

📄🚢 One small documentation mistake can create a big shipment problem.

Imagine this:

Your Invoice shows one weight, but your Packing List shows another.

That mismatch can lead to queries, corrections, or customs delays.

And this is where AI can help. 🤖

Before submitting your export documents, you can use AI to cross-check details across documents such as:

📄 Commercial Invoice
📦 Packing List
🚢 Bill of Lading

AI can help identify mismatched:
⚖️ Weights
📦 Quantities
🔢 Product descriptions
📍 Consignee details
🔖 Invoice or shipment references

But remember: AI should be a second layer of checking, not a replacement for your freight forwarder, customs professional, or official documentation requirements.

Want a simple AI-powered document checklist?

🇨🇦📦 Could Canada’s new tariffs create an opportunity for Indian exporters?

From September 8, 2026, Canada introduced 15%, 25% and 50% counter-tariffs on selected U.S.-origin products, covering categories such as steel, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp & paper, plastics and electronics.

That could create a reason for some Canadian buyers to explore alternative suppliers — and India is one market exporters can research.

But remember: this does not mean every U.S. product has suddenly become expensive or that every Indian product will automatically gain demand.

The real opportunity is to identify:
🔎 Products affected by the tariffs
🇮🇳 Products India can competitively supply
🇨🇦 Canadian buyers already importing them
📦 Required certifications, standards and landed costs

If you want to explore this market, start with the product-level demand, not just the headline.

👇 Comment “CANADA” and I’ll share a list of Indian products worth researching for the Canadian market.

🥥💰 What looks like coconut waste can become an international export product.

Coir is made from coconut husk, and India has a major global coir industry. In FY2024–25, China alone accounted for 22.1% of India’s coir and coir-product export value, according to Coir Board data.

And here’s the interesting part 👇

You don’t necessarily need to build your own factory.

You can explore a merchant-exporter model by sourcing eligible coir products from local manufacturers and supplying them to overseas buyers.

Coir Board also provides exporter-registration facilities, training programmes and export-market-promotion support.

So the opportunity can be about finding the right product, supplier and international buyer — not necessarily owning a manufacturing unit.

🏥💰 You don’t need to own a hospital to build a business around medical tourism.

A medical facilitator can help international patients connect with suitable hospitals and coordinate parts of their medical-travel journey.

And the opportunity is real: Government of India data records 6,44,387 foreign tourist arrivals for medical purposes in 2024.

The ecosystem can involve:
🌍 Finding suitable hospitals
🏥 Connecting patients with healthcare providers
📄 Visa-related assistance
✈️ Travel coordination
🤝 Patient support and communication

This is a service-based model where your value comes from connecting the right patient with the right healthcare ecosystem.

Want the complete roadmap for starting this model?
