Merchant exporter need not be registered with central excise. IEC and RCMC (for various benefits) is sufficient. If the merchant exporter wants to clear the goods from manufacturer's premises without payment of duty, he has to execute a bond and follow CT-1 procedure.

DEAR SIR AS PER EXCISE PROVISIONS EXPORTER DO NOT COME UNDER THE DEFINITION OF MANUFACTURER SO REGISTRATION IS NOT MANDATORY, BUT IF YOU EXPORTING, THEN UNDER CUSTOM ACT IT IS COMPULSORY.
