FSSAI Central License for Food Importers & Exporters

The correct license type depends on your annual turnover and scale of operation. Businesses with turnover below ₹12 lakh need Basic Registration. ₹12 lakh – ₹20 crore turnover needs State License. Above ₹20 crore or multi-state needs Central License. We assess your specific situation in a free consultation and tell you exactly which type to apply for.

Standard documents include: Aadhaar and PAN of proprietor/directors, business address proof (rent agreement/ownership document), business registration certificate, photographs of the business premises, list of food products/categories. We provide a precise, business-specific checklist after understanding your operations in detail.

Basic Registration does not require physical inspection. State License requires a visit from a Food Safety Officer to your business premises. We prepare you thoroughly for the inspection — what to expect, how to arrange your premises, and what records to maintain. Our clients have a 99% first-attempt approval rate.
