Declaration of Software Exports
Export of software is undertaken in physical form i.e. software prepared on magnetic tapes and paper media as well as in non-physical form i.e. direct transmission abroad through dedicated earth stations/satellite links. As far as export of software in physical form is concerned the procedure relating to declaration of shipments on GR/PP forms, handling of export documents by authorised dealers and other allied matters is the same as applicable to export of other goods. Export of software, in non-physical form including Video/TV software and all other types of software products/packages, should be declared on SOFTEX form. Each set of SOFTEX form comprises three copies marked Original, Duplicate and Triplicate which carry an identical pre-printed serial number. All the three forms in each set should be completed and the entire set submitted for the purpose of valuation together with relevant documents to the officials of Department of Electronics (DOE), Government of India.
