What is the perfect Format for an IGCR Application Letter?

When applying under the IGCR (Import of Goods at Concessional Rate) Rules, the way you structure your IGCR Application letter can make a big difference. A well-written application helps the customs officer quickly verify your eligibility and speeds up approval. Here’s the ideal format explained step by step:

1. Header:
Begin with your company’s letterhead. Include IEC, GSTIN, and full contact details. Add the date on the right side.

2. Recipient Details:
Write to the Deputy/Assistant Commissioner of Customs of your jurisdiction. Mention the complete office address.

3. Subject Line:
Use a clear subject such as:
“Application under IGCR Rules for Concessional Import of [Goods Name].”

4. Introduction:
Briefly introduce your company and nature of business. Mention the notification number under which you are claiming the benefit.

5. Details of Import:
State the description, quantity, and value of goods you wish to import and the intended use (manufacturing, job work, R&D, etc.). Indicate the period for which permission is sought.

6. Undertaking:
Declare that you will comply with all IGCR Rules, maintain records, and file necessary returns.

7. Closing:
End with a polite request for approval. Sign with authorized signatory’s name, designation, and seal.

Following this crisp structure keeps your IGCR application professional, clear, and easy for customs to process.
