## EXIM guides (Indian trade schemes in SAP, reviewed by IVL EXIM specialists)

- [All EXIM guides](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/)
- [RoDTEP in SAP: claiming, tracking and using RoDTEP credits](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/guides/rodtep-in-sap/): RoDTEP refunds embedded duties and taxes on exported goods as a percentage of FOB value, paid as transferable e-scrips in the exporter's ICEGATE credit ledger. The scheme runs to 31 December 2026 for DTA, Advance Authorisation, SEZ and EOU exports. OptiEXIM and OptiEXIMc calculate RoDTEP from SAP export documents and track each scrip to utilisation.
- [EPCG export obligation: how to calculate, track and close it in SAP](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/guides/epcg-export-obligation-sap/): An EPCG Authorisation lets a manufacturer import capital goods at zero customs duty in return for exporting six times the duty saved within six years, on top of its average past exports. Missing it means paying the saved duty with interest. OptiEXIM and OptiEXIMc track each authorisation's specific, average and block-wise obligation against SAP export documents.
- [Advance Authorisation in SAP: duty-free inputs, export obligation and redemption](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/guides/advance-authorisation-sap/): Advance Authorisation lets an exporter import inputs used in its export products free of customs duty, IGST and cess, on condition that it exports the resulting goods within the obligation period with at least 15% value addition. Inputs must match the shipping bills exactly for redemption. OptiEXIM and OptiEXIMc track this from SAP purchase and sales documents.
- [EDPMS, IDPMS and e-BRC: closing export and import bills from SAP](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/guides/idpms-edpms-ebrc-sap/): EDPMS and IDPMS are RBI systems that match every shipping bill and bill of entry with its foreign-exchange payment through the exporter's or importer's bank. From 1 October 2026, export proceeds for goods must be realised within nine months of shipment. OptiEXIM and OptiEXIMc generate e-BRCs through the DGFT API and track EDPMS and IDPMS status through bank APIs.
- [Duty drawback in SAP: All Industry Rate, brand rate and claims](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/guides/duty-drawback-sap/): Duty drawback refunds customs duty paid on imported inputs used in exported goods, either at the All Industry Rate in the drawback schedule or at a brand rate fixed for the exporter. It is claimed on the shipping bill and recovered if proceeds are not realised. OptiEXIM and OptiEXIMc compute drawback from SAP and track every claim.
- [ICEGATE filing from SAP: shipping bills and bills of entry](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/guides/icegate-sap-integration/): ICEGATE is the CBIC gateway through which exporters and importers file shipping bills and bills of entry with Indian Customs. A bill of entry must be filed before the end of the day before the goods arrive, or late charges apply. OptiEXIMc files both declarations from SAP data through the ICEGATE APIs, and brings the customs responses back.
- [MOOWR in SAP: bonded manufacturing with customs duty deferred](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/guides/moowr-bonded-manufacturing-sap/): MOOWR lets a manufacturer import inputs and capital goods into a licensed bonded warehouse and use them in manufacturing with customs duty deferred. Duty on imported inputs is paid only when finished goods are cleared into India, and not at all when they are exported. OptiEXIM and OptiEXIMc track every bonded movement in SAP and generate the monthly Annexure B records.
- [IGCR in SAP: concessional-duty imports and end-use tracking](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/guides/igcr-concessional-duty-sap/): The IGCR Rules 2022 let importers pay a concessional customs duty when a notification ties the lower rate to a specified use, on condition that they use the goods for that purpose and report it. The importer files IGCR-1 once, gives a continuity bond, uses the goods within the time allowed and files a quarterly IGCR-3 statement. OptiEXIM links each IGCR import to its use in SAP.
- [Certificates of origin and FTA duty benefits: e-CoO for exports, CAROTAR for imports](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/guides/certificate-of-origin-fta-sap/): A certificate of origin proves where goods were made. Indian exporters apply for preferential and non-preferential certificates online through DGFT, now also by Open API from their ERP, so buyers can claim lower duty under a trade agreement. Importers claiming an FTA rate in India must hold the origin information CAROTAR 2020 requires. OptiEXIM and OptiEXIMc file certificates of origin with DGFT from SAP export data.
- [Shipping is more volatile than the stock market. Can you see where your containers are?](https://www.ivldsp.com/exim/guides/optitrack-container-tracking-shipping-volatility/): Shipping carries over 80% of world trade, and port congestion, reroutes and chokepoints make delays sudden and hard to predict. Live tracking is how exporters and importers absorb them. OptiTrack.AI tracks every sea and air shipment across 100+ shipping lines, with predictive ETAs and alerts, on SAP on-premise or SAP BTP, and as an add-on to OptiEXIM and OptiEXIMc.

- [Resilient by design: building a risk-proof supplier and trade ecosystem on SAP](https://www.ivldsp.com/insights/resilient-by-design-ips-2026/): At the India Procurement Summit & Awards 2026 in Mumbai, I argued that supply-chain resilience rarely fails in the boardroom; it fails at the operating layer, starting with vendors. OptiVMS closes the first gap: vendors onboard themselves, documents are validated automatically and one approval writes the SAP vendor master, cutting onboarding from about 30 days to 2.
