While exporting Class 1 explosives there are few essential requirements that must be followed, these are the application for the export permit and authorization from the competent authority, the handling of Class 1 explosives require certain safety measures, the packing of Class 1 explosives must be according to specified norms and lastly to get the exporting formalities related with customs completed.
The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion of Commerce and Industry, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), the Petroleum explosives safety Organization (PESO) and the customs officers are some of the agencies that regulate export of Class 1 explosives from India.
Products and components which are classified as explosives must be exported and shipped with a PESO Explosives License. In addition, to get involved in import or export, one needs to possess an Import-Export Code which is issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The legal systems in the country of destination may also require compliance with other necessary approvals and licenses.
Export safety begins with the kind of explosives being transported because Class 1 explosives are not toys. Employees that deal with explosives must be qualified and those handling or transporting explosives must complete a training program that complies with regulatory specifications that pertain to safety equipment of transport vehicles used in such operations. Also the exporter must follow International Safety standards.

They've been very helpful in our registration with ICEGATE. It was a small thing with a small amount paid which somehow escalated to a very painful procedure. Never did they say "You've only paid so much. It's too much effort for us.".
Very pleased with their service. Prompt, professional and great communication. Definitely recommend. Special mention for Ms. Razia - she handled our case.
Professional Utilities is fully professional in their work, Rates are too low and genuine. Services and satisfaction are high so I highly recommended Professional Utilities.
They are one of the most genuine and reasonable people. I applied for lmpc certificate through them and they charged me a very nominal amount as compared to what other firms asked .
