THE INVENTORY MODEL for e-commerce exports would allow third-party facilitation entities to manage compliance and logistics. "This will ease the burden of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to focus on quality and branding," the official added. Currently, domestic e-commerce platforms are not allowed to use the inventory-led model and can only function as marketplaces.

DHL, Go Glocal and Lexship have already been selected to run pilots for e-commerce export hubs. These hubs will simplify return logistics, easier interstate movement and GST refunds.
