Common Mistakes to Avoid During APEDA Registration

1. Using Invalid or Expired IEC

IEC must be valid and active – Laams ensures it’s verified and up to date.

2. Incorrect Classification of Products

Wrong selection of scheduled products can delay approvals.

3. Mismatch in Business Details Across Documents

We cross-check all inputs to avoid inconsistencies in PAN, address, or company name.

4. Non-submission of Bank Certificate or Cheque

Missing bank details may block fund disbursement — we ensure it’s complete.

5. Skipping Mandatory Product List Declaration
