What is RCMC ? Do we need to register for RCMC for exporting our products ?

To promote the exports from India, the government has developed Export Promotion Councils, EPCs are made based on product wise. 

You just need to google EPC for your product 

Google

"Export Promotion Council for Agri Products" = APEDA : The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority 

"Export Promotion Council for Plastic Products" = PLEXCONCIL : The Plastic Export Promotion Council

"Export Promotion Council for Hardware items" = EEPC : Engineering Export Promotion Council of India

You can google the council for your products & if you don't find official government export promotion council for your products then you can opt for FIEO Registration 

"Export Promotion Council for Multiple Products" = FIEO : Federation of Indian Export Organization 

Now if you become the member of such council you would be given Registration Cum Membership Certificate, RCMC 

Suppose if I become the member of APEDA, I would be given APEDA RCMC Certificate

Suppose if I become the member of EEPC, I would be given EEPC RCMC Certificate

Suppose if I become the member of FIEO, I would be given FIEO RCMC Certificate

 

If your products are listed in Restricted Categories then you need RCMC else not but I suggest all my students and clients that you must register for RCMC Certificate for your relevant product.
