About this subsidy
Clause 7.13(b) of the Arunachal Pradesh Industrial Development and Investment Policy, 2025 reimburses the cost an export-registered unit incurs shipping product samples to an overseas buyer outside India, subject to a maximum of Rs 50,000 per enterprise per year for two years.
Sample shipments are how most export relationships start, and courier charges on them are a real deterrent for a small unit. This clause takes that cost off the table for the first two years of an exporter's outreach.

What You Get
The state reimburses what an export-registered enterprise spends shipping product samples to an overseas buyer, capped at Rs 50,000 per enterprise per year for two years. It covers the courier and shipment cost of the samples themselves, and because the cap is annual an exporter can claim it in each of two consecutive years while building a buyer pipeline.
