Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about AD1 trade accounts for Indian importers.
An AD1 (Authorized Dealer Category 1) account is a forex-enabled trade account required for international trade transactions in India. Any MSME or business importing goods needs an AD1 account to process foreign currency payments legally under FEMA regulations.
Any registered Indian business entity — sole proprietorship, partnership, LLP, or private limited company — with a valid IEC (Import Export Code) can open an AD1 trade account with EximPe.
EximPe automatically generates e-BRC, FIRC, and DGFT documentation for every transaction. Purpose codes are auto-classified, and all documents are available for download from your dashboard.
Traditional banks typically add 1.5–3% markup plus fees. EximPe offers real-time transparent FX rates with markups under 1%, saving MSMEs 2–5 lakhs per shipment on average.
Most import payments are settled within 24–48 hours. Payments to China (CNY) and ASEAN countries are typically processed same-day or next-day.
There is no minimum transaction size. EximPe supports transactions from $100 to multi-million dollar shipments, making it suitable for MSMEs of all sizes.
