Coffee exporters register with the Coffee Board to export coffee and avail FTP export benefits. The application is filed through the DGFT common digital platform, the certificate is valid for 5 years, and a valid Import Export Code (IEC) is a prerequisite. The Coffee Board also handles post-shipment export data filing for coffee.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Coffee Board RCMC?
A Coffee Board RCMC is a Registration-cum-Membership Certificate issued by the Coffee Board of India, the DGFT-recognised commodity board for coffee under the Foreign Trade Policy. It certifies that you are a registered coffee exporter and lets you export coffee and avail FTP export benefits.
Who needs a Coffee Board RCMC?
Any exporter of coffee — green coffee beans, roasted or ground coffee, instant coffee or coffee extracts. This includes coffee growers, curing and processing units, roasters, instant coffee manufacturers, and coffee trading companies.
What is the validity of a Coffee Board RCMC?
An RCMC granted through the DGFT common digital platform is valid for five financial years from the year of issue. There is no annual renewal — you renew it before the five-year validity ends.
Is IEC mandatory for a Coffee Board RCMC?
Yes. A valid Import Export Code (IEC) from DGFT is a mandatory prerequisite for obtaining an RCMC from the Coffee Board or any recognised council/board. We can arrange your IEC first if you do not already hold one.
Do I have to register with the Coffee Board separately?
Coffee exporters register as a coffee exporter with the Coffee Board as the basis for the RCMC. TaxClue coordinates both the Coffee Board exporter registration and the RCMC application together so it is seamless for you.
How is the RCMC application filed?
RCMC applications are filed online through the DGFT common digital platform, which routes the application to the concerned board — here, the Coffee Board of India. No physical office visit is required.
How long does a Coffee Board RCMC take?
Typically 7–14 working days from complete document submission with a valid IEC in place. Coffee Board or DGFT queries can extend the timeline until they are resolved.
What documents are required?
A valid IEC, PAN, GST registration, constitution proof of the business, coffee exporter registration details, registered-office address proof (with NOC if rented), a cancelled cheque or bank certificate, and the authorised signatory’s details and photograph.
Is post-shipment data filing part of the Coffee Board process?
Yes. Coffee exporters file post-shipment coffee export data with the Coffee Board. Your registration with the Board is the basis for this reporting, and we guide you on keeping it up to date.
What products does a Coffee Board RCMC cover?
It covers coffee in its export forms — green coffee beans, roasted and ground coffee, instant (spray-dried and freeze-dried) coffee, coffee extracts and specialty or single-origin coffee.
Do I need to visit any government office?
No. The entire process is 100% online. Documents are collected over WhatsApp or email and the application is filed on the DGFT common digital platform by our team.
Is the government fee included in your charges?
Government fees, where applicable, are billed at actuals and quoted transparently. Our professional fee is separate, confirmed after a quick scope check — with no hidden charges.
How do I apply for a Coffee Board RCMC on the DGFT portal?
You apply through the DGFT common e-RCMC portal at dgft.gov.in — log in with your IEC-linked account, select the Coffee Board of India, complete the e-RCMC form with your coffee products, upload documents and e-sign. The application is routed to the Coffee Board for approval. TaxClue files it end to end for you.
What is the difference between IEC and a Coffee Board RCMC?
An IEC (Import Export Code) is the basic DGFT code that permits any import or export. The Coffee Board RCMC is the membership certificate from the Coffee Board of India — the commodity board for coffee — that lets you export coffee and claim FTP benefits. You need the IEC first, then the RCMC.
What export benefits does a Coffee Board RCMC unlock?
A valid Coffee Board RCMC is required to avail Foreign Trade Policy incentives such as RoDTEP, Advance Authorisation, EPCG and duty-exemption benefits on coffee exports, plus Coffee Board export-promotion and market-development programmes.
What is the Coffee Board membership fee?
The Coffee Board charges a registration/membership fee for exporter registration and the RCMC, billed at actuals. The government fee is separate from our professional fee, which is quoted transparently after a quick scope check with no hidden charges.
How is a Coffee Board RCMC renewed?
RCMC renewal is done on the DGFT common digital platform, ideally before the five-year validity expires. You will need current details and documents. TaxClue can manage renewals and remind you ahead of expiry.
