RCMC Registration
Professional assistance for Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate applications, documentation and renewal support from Active More - Startups and SMEs business online.
Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate
An RCMC is a Registration-Cum-Membership Certificate issued to eligible exporters by the relevant Export Promotion Council, commodity board or other authorised organisation.
The appropriate issuing body generally depends on the exporter's principal product, service, commodity or sector and the applicable membership category.
RCMC may support an exporter's participation in applicable foreign-trade, promotion or council-related initiatives, subject to the conditions of each scheme.
Active More - Startups and SMEs business online provides professional support with council identification, document preparation, membership application and follow-up.
