Opportunity: Exporters serving West Asian markets should check eligibility with ECGC before finalising shipment and insurance arrangements.
4. RoDTEP benefits continue through December
An earlier update remains relevant: the government has extended RoDTEP until 31 December 2026, with existing notified rates and value caps continuing during the extension.
Opportunity: Eligible exporters can factor applicable duty remission into their costing to prepare more competitive overseas quotations. Check the benefit for your product’s HS code.
