business in the application. The exporter is required to obtain RCMC
from the Council which is concerned with the product of his main
line of business.

Council/Commodity Board etc., RCMC in respect thereof is to be
obtained from FIEO. Further, in case of multi product exporters, not
registered with any EPC, where main line of business is yet to be
settled, the exporter has an option to obtain RCMC from Federation
of Indian Exporters Organization (FIEO).

registered office in the North Eastern States, RCMC may be obtained
from Shellac & Forest Products Export Promotion Council (except for
the products looked after by APEDA, Spices Board and Tea Board).
