The document discusses export houses in India. An export house is a registered exporter with a valid export house certificate issued by the Director General of Foreign Trade. Export houses were originally established in 1958 to promote non-traditional exports and help small businesses export products. Export houses divide exports into select and non-select products and must have an export turnover between 3 to 7 crore rupees with at least 20% annual growth. Certificates are valid for 3 years and can be renewed within 6 months of expiration.
