What happened: Government operationalises FTP 2023 inventory-based cross-border e-commerce exports
The Government of India operationalised the Inventory-based Cross-border E-Commerce Export Framework under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP), 2023 through Notification No. 27/2026-27 and Public Notice No. 25/2026-27 dated August 5, 2026.
The operationalisation enables eligible e-commerce entities to run export-only inventory operations using a registered Exporter-on-Record (EOR). The EOR procures goods from Indian Sellers-on-Record (SORs) against confirmed overseas orders, exports in its own name, and handles compliance with destination-country requirements.
