India revises RoDTEP schedules for 194 tariff lines
Exporters must remap RoDTEP claims before May 1 filings
Change
India's Department of Commerce revised RoDTEP Appendix 4R and 4RE schedules for 194 tariff lines, with Customs Automated System implementation from May 1, 2026.
Why it matters
RoDTEP claim processing now depends on revised Appendix 4R and Appendix 4RE mappings. The notification adds 142 new tariff lines, deletes 50 and modifies 2. Exporters using old mappings after May 1 risk filing claims against deleted or modified entries.
Implications
- — Export documentation teams must compare affected 8-digit tariff lines against revised Appendix 4R and Appendix 4RE before May 1 filings — old mappings can delay or block RoDTEP claim processing.
- — CHA and shipping-bill filing teams must update product-to-tariff templates before the effective date — reused templates may route claims through deleted or modified RoDTEP entries.
- — DTA, Advance Authorisation, EOU and SEZ exporters must confirm the correct appendix for each export line before filing — the revised split changes how claims map in the Customs Automated System.
Who is affected
- — Export documentation teams filing RoDTEP claims
- — CHA and shipping-bill filing teams
- — Customs compliance teams maintaining HS-code mappings
- — DTA, Advance Authorisation, EOU and SEZ exporters
What to watch
- — May 1, 2026 — revised RoDTEP schedules apply in the Customs Automated System
- — Shipments filed on or after May 1 — highest risk of old tariff-line mappings being reused
