No registration means no legal authorization, no access to government schemes, and no ability to use the India Tea logo or participate in formal export channels. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><b>Tea Board license fees<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> vary widely depending on what type of license you need. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A manufacturer registration costs Rs 1,20,000. An exporter license costs Rs 2,800.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A tea auction broker registration costs Rs 90,000. And some registrations, like the RCMC for exporters and clearance certificates for import and export, cost nothing at all. <\/span><b>LegalRaasta <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">helps tea businesses complete Tea Board registration, document preparation, and filing across all license categories so your application goes through without errors or delays.<\/span><\/p>\n<div
