DGFT Trade Notice 2026: New Online RODTEP HSN Mapping Tool

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued Trade Notice No. 24/2026-27 on August 12, 2026, introducing a centralized HSN-to-RoDTEP Rate Mapping Tool on the official trade portal. This digital initiative aims to eliminate confusion regarding tax remission rates for complex engineering and chemical products. ## Key points - **Automated Rate Finder:** Exporters can enter their 8-digit HSN code to find the exact RoDTEP rate and the per-unit value cap. - **UOM Synchronization:** The tool ensures that the Unit of Measurement (UOM) used in shipping bills matches the RoDTEP schedule requirements. - **Error Reduction:** Provides immediate alerts if an HSN code is currently ineligible or under review by the RoDTEP Committee. ## What this means for exporters Accurate HSN mapping is critical for claiming the full benefit of the RoDTEP scheme. Using this tool prevents shipping bill rejections and ensures that the scroll generation process in the Customs system is seamless. **Who should act now:** All SME exporters, particularly those dealing with multi-component products, should verify their product codes using this new DGFT tool before their next shipment.
