Your application
Use the selected official form.
Choose the application that matches your business
The Coir Board publishes a specific application for registration as an exporter of coir fibre, coir yarn or coir products and a separate registration-cum-membership application. These should not be confused with a manufacturing establishment registration or a domestic supplier profile.
A Kerala mat manufacturer, a trader exporting coir yarn and a domestic coir supplier may therefore need different work. We begin with the business activity, product list, principal business address and export plan. Where a scheme or buyer requests a particular document, share that requirement before the application is selected.
Exporter registration and RCMC serve distinct purposes
Exporter registration identifies the business under the applicable Coir Board framework. RCMC is registration-cum-membership associated with export promotion requirements. The relevant DGFT and Board rules should be checked for the benefit or application you intend to use.
A registration does not automatically approve subsidies, guarantee an export incentive or confirm that overseas product standards are satisfied. Exporters still need appropriate trade documents, accurate classification, buyer contracts and any destination-specific requirements. We can identify connected tasks, but each must be separately scoped.
What LIQUETAX can help deliver
An agreed engagement can include route selection, a records checklist, application preparation and tracking of the Board’s document queries. We retain the submitted form and final acknowledgement so your team knows which entity, products and address were used.
- Identify exporter registration, RCMC or another specific Board route.
- Compare legal entity, PAN, IEC, GST where applicable and signatory details.
- Organise the coir product list and manufacturer/trader information.
- Prepare the selected application using current official instructions.
- Hand over the certificate or decision and explain the next record updates.
Make the product and premises records clear
Describe products accurately: fibre, yarn, mats, geotextiles and other coir articles should not all be reduced to a generic product label. Where requested, retain manufacturing-unit details, capacity information and supplier records. A trader should clearly identify the source of supply instead of claiming to own a factory.
The legal entity name and office address should match the underlying records or have a documented explanation. Keep scans legible and use an authorised signatory. If an existing registration is being changed, provide the old certificate and the exact change required rather than applying as if it is a new business.
Fees in ₹ and what is excluded
The quote should separate Coir Board registration or membership charges, professional application support, GST where applicable and any approved third-party cost. Use the current Board schedule for official charges; an old approximate ₹2,000–₹5,000 range is not a reliable basis for every route.
IEC work, customs documentation, product laboratory tests, subsidy applications, shipping, buyer sourcing and destination certification are excluded unless agreed. Ask whether renewal or profile changes are included. The amount payable and the payment stage should be clear before submission, with official receipts retained.
Timelines and a useful next step
Document review and application preparation can be planned once the route and complete records are available. Board scrutiny, corrections and any additional verification affect the final timeline. A fixed five-day or fifteen-day promise is not suitable for every application.
Typical mistakes include using a supplier form for an exporter request, confusing membership with a subsidy approval, missing IEC details and copying a previous business’s product list. Send your product list, role, entity documents and the certificate being requested. We will use those inputs to define the scope and a realistic preparation plan.
What to prepare before you contact us
- Entity constitution documents and PAN.

- Business-address proof and authorised signatory information.
- Product list and manufacturer/trader/exporter activity details.

Start with your requirement and current stage. We will agree the document-sharing method before you send confidential records. Keep passwords, OTPs and digital-signature credentials with the authorised person.

Your questions, answered
Are exporter registration and RCMC identical?
They are separate applications published by the Board. Confirm the document needed for your activity or proposed benefit.
Does registration guarantee a subsidy?
No. Every scheme has its own eligibility, application and approval conditions.
Can a trader apply?
The appropriate exporter route should be reviewed using the trading activity and product sources. Do not claim manufacturing facilities that you do not operate.
Do I need a new certificate after an address change?
Review the applicable amendment process and notify the Board as required. The correct route depends on the existing record and change.
