Short answer
What is an Exporter of Record?
An Exporter of Record (EOR) is the party named on the Shipping Bill who is responsible for the export’s compliance. Lozy can act as EOR when you need to ship goods out of India, such as returns, project equipment or stock, without your own IEC or export registrations.
What’s included
We take on the exporter’s role and get your goods cleared to leave.
Exporter on the Shipping Bill
We’re the named exporter, with the IEC and registrations the shipment needs.
Export paperwork
Invoice, packing list and Shipping Bill prepared and filed on ICEGATE.
Export control screening
Goods checked against controlled lists such as SCOMET before filing.
The right GST route
Exports are zero-rated. We confirm whether the shipment moves under an LUT or with IGST paid and refunded.
Re-export of imported goods
Sending back equipment that came in earlier? We handle the paperwork, including duty drawback where it applies.
Pickup and dispatch
Collection from your site or a Lozy warehouse, and handover for air or sea freight.
Exporting from Delhi NCR
Shipping bills are filed at the NCR ICD closest to your factory or office — Tughlakabad, Patparganj, Dadri or Garhi Harsaru — and containers run by rail to JNPT, Mundra or Pipavav for the vessel.
Returns, spares and project cargo go the same way: documents first, a clean Shipping Bill, and out on the next departure.
What we take off your plate when you export from India
Outbound paperwork punishes first-timers and busy teams alike. This is the work our EOR services absorb so goods leave on the sailing you booked — whether it is your first export or your fiftieth, and whether or not the goods sit in your own name.
A place on the Shipping Bill
When your business cannot be the exporter — you need to export from India without a company here, or the goods are owned offshore — Lozy takes that place on the Shipping Bill, holding the registrations and declarations the consignment needs. Your buyer sees a clean export file; customs sees one responsible party.
Routing through the right gateway
The desk weighs the western and southern gateways by sailing frequency, your buyer’s destination and the ICD the cargo starts from, then books the rail leg before the cut-off rather than after it. The route is decided once per lane, so bookings become routine rather than a weekly negotiation.
Screens for controlled goods
Consignments on controlled lists need authorisations before anything moves. The desk screens the classification, flags what requires a licence and files for it early enough to hold your sailing date. Where a licence is genuinely needed, applying late is the fastest way to miss a vessel.
Certificates the buyer’s bank wants
Certificates of origin, chamber attestations and legalisation where the destination asks for them — assembled alongside the Shipping Bill instead of chased after the vessel has left. These papers are easy to fetch while the shipment is open and painful to reconstruct afterwards.
Claim files built while documents are fresh
Where duty is recoverable — on re-exports, on input materials — the desk builds the claim set while the paperwork is still at hand, not after it has scattered across three offices. A claim built in sequence usually runs itself.
The export file we prepare
One folder per consignment, built as the goods move. By the time the vessel departs, this is what sits inside it — assembled in the order a bank, a buyer or an auditor would ask to see it.
Hand the folder to your accountant and the tax position is already explained by the papers in it; hand the origin documents to your buyer’s bank and they are already in the form it expects.
- Shipping Bill, filed on ICEGATE with the export invoice attached
- Let Export Order, saved with the gate pass records and the carting order
- Certificate of origin, sourced from the issuing body your buyer’s country recognises
- Duty drawback set: shipping bill, invoice and proof of export kept together
- GST documents for the route chosen: LUT reference or refund claim papers
- Closing record set: invoice to Let Export Order, indexed in one place
GST and duty on your export
Exports leave India zero-rated under GST, but the money finds its way back by different roads. Move under a Letter of Undertaking and no IGST is paid at all; pay it and claim a refund afterwards; or, where import duty was carried on goods that leave again, claim duty drawback. Each route asks something different of your paperwork — the LUT reference on the invoice, values that match across the Shipping Bill and the bank documents, or the original import papers tied to the goods going out. The desk files whichever route suits the goods and your accountant’s preference, and keeps the paperwork each route demands in good order, so a refund does not stall on a mismatch nobody noticed at filing time.
Choose the route before the export invoice is raised — it decides what the invoice itself must say, and reissuing an export invoice after the fact is nobody’s favourite chore.

Frequently asked questions
Can’t see your question? Ask it in the quote form and we’ll answer it with your quote.
When would I need an Exporter of Record?
When the owner of the goods can’t be the exporter. For example, a foreign company returning equipment from India, or a business without an IEC sending stock abroad.
What is a Let Export Order?
It’s the customs order that allows goods to be loaded for export once the Shipping Bill has been processed.
Can I recover duty when I re-export imported goods?
Often, yes. Goods re-exported within the allowed period can qualify for duty drawback. We check eligibility using your original import documents.
Do exports attract GST?
Exports are zero-rated under GST. They move either under a Letter of Undertaking (LUT) without paying IGST, or with IGST paid and refunded later.
How is an exporter of record different from a freight forwarder?
A freight forwarder moves cargo; an exporter of record is a party on the Shipping Bill, legally responsible for the declaration, the licences and the claims behind it. Forwarders work for whoever books them, but the export declaration needs a real exporter standing behind it — that is the role Lozy takes on when your own entity cannot. The difference matters most when something goes wrong: with a forwarder you chase a service provider, with an exporter of record there is a responsible party named on the declaration itself.
Can a foreign company export from India without a company registered there?
Yes, and it is the everyday use of our EOR services. The overseas owner keeps the commercial relationship with the buyer; Lozy appears on the Shipping Bill as exporter of record, holds the declarations and moves the goods through the NCR ICD to the departure port. Because the exporter of record sits on the Shipping Bill, the owner never needs a local director, a registered office or a bank account here to keep goods moving. Returns, repairs and demonstration units are handled the same way.
Who claims duty drawback when you export on our behalf?
The exporter of record holds the claim — us — because the shipping documents and proof of export sit in our files. Eligibility is checked against the original import papers first, and the net position is shown in your billing rather than left as an open promise. The claim is tracked to settlement, and if a query comes back from the department, the desk answers it from the same file. If a claim cannot be made, you get the reason in writing.
What does our buyer receive when you are the exporter of record?
Everything their customs and bank will ask for: the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, and a certificate of origin where the destination requires one. The set is checked before dispatch and couriered so documents and cargo travel on the same schedule. Where the buyer’s country wants legalisation or attestation, that step is planned into the booking rather than discovered at the courier desk.
Can goods wait in your warehouse before they are exported?
Yes. Stock that is not sailing yet can sit in a Lozy warehouse while payments, documents or shipping space fall into line, and the export file is built in parallel. Storage before export is ordinary practice, and the desk treats the warehouse period as part of the export plan rather than an interruption to it. Where duty was paid on those goods at import, the storage and re-export records stay linked so a recovery claim does not lose its footing.
What if the export is a warranty return rather than a sale?
Returns and repairs are a steady share of EOR files. The desk ties the outbound file to the original import reference, marks the goods as returned rather than sold where that is the case, and corresponds with the overseas owner’s broker if their side needs anything further. Where duty was suffered on the original import, the return paperwork is assembled with that recovery in view. The records stay matched at both ends.
