First of all, to start an export agency, you will have to incorporate a company, obtain GST and PAN Card registrations, IEC (Importer Exporter Code) and obtain a registration cum membership certificate (RCMC) from the concerned Export Promotion Council (“EPC”). Applicable EPC for you may be Pharmaceuticals Export Promotion Council for herbal products and then there are separate EPC’s for different textiles. Additionally, depending on whether your plan is to manufacture/ produce textile and herbal products OR simply to source such textile/ herbal products and then export them, a host of laws and regulations that are specific to the textile and herbal products shall be applicable.
