The EPCG – Spares Import facility under the Export Promotion Capital Goods (EPCG) Scheme allows exporters to import spares, components, tools, jigs, fixtures, and dies without paying customs duty. The objective of this scheme is to enhance India’s export competitiveness by allowing industries to upgrade their production technology and machinery without high import costs.
At BEST EXIM and Industrial Services, we provide specialized consultancy and end-to-end support for companies availing EPCG benefits for Spares Import, ensuring compliance with DGFT rules and Customs requirements while simplifying the entire process.
Under the EPCG scheme, companies can import spare parts, tools, jigs, fixtures, dies, moulds, and accessories that are essential for maintaining or upgrading existing capital goods. These spares are treated as part of the capital goods import and are eligible for zero customs duty under a valid EPCG Authorization.
This provision ensures that exporters can keep their production lines running efficiently without interruption, while maintaining export quality standards. Spares are crucial for industries such as engineering, pharmaceuticals, automotive, textiles, electronics, and food processing — where machinery uptime and precision are vital.
The EPCG Spares Import facility helps exporters maintain their production machinery in top condition by importing necessary parts without paying customs duty. It supports:
The following entities are eligible to apply under EPCG Spares Import:
Applicants must hold a valid Importer-Exporter Code (IEC) and meet the conditions of the Foreign Trade Policy.
The export obligation ensures that companies availing benefits under EPCG contribute to India’s export growth. It is calculated as:
Export Obligation = 6 × Duty Saved on Import
The exporter must achieve the export obligation within six years from the date of license issuance. Exports of both physical goods and eligible services can be counted towards fulfilling this requirement.
Partial fulfillment is monitored annually, and failure to meet the obligation may result in payment of duty and penalties. With BEST EXIM and Industrial Services, our team ensures complete compliance and timely documentation to avoid any such issues.
