DGFT Trade Notice 2026: New Online EPCG Port Addition Module Launch

## Key points The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has released **Trade Notice No. 14/2026-27** on 2026-08-10, announcing the launch of a dedicated online module for the 'Addition of Port of Registration' under the **Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme**. Previously, exporters had to visit regional authorities for manual endorsements to import capital goods through ports not listed in their original license. ## What this means for exporters This digital transition allows for real-time updates to EPCG licenses. Exporters can now add any sea port, airport, or ICD to their authorization via the DGFT portal within minutes. This reduces logistical delays and eliminates the need for physical submissions. According to the notice, the system will automatically validate the request against existing duty-saved limits, ensuring seamless compliance. **Who should act now:** Exporters planning to shift import logistics to new ports like **Nhavaseva** or Mundra for upcoming machinery shipments should use the new module immediately to avoid port congestion delays.
