Common questions about Customs, GST and DGFT consultation
Straight answers about how consultation on AdWisez works, what a verified consultant can help with, and what it costs.
What does a Customs consultant on AdWisez do?
A Customs consultant advises on the day-to-day problems of moving goods across the Indian border: classification and HSN disputes, valuation queries, MOOWR and SEZ operations, refunds, and replying to a show cause notice. Most are former departmental officers or practitioners who have argued these matters before.
Can a consultant help me reply to a show cause notice?
Yes. Show cause notice reply is one of the most requested services on AdWisez, across Customs, GST, Excise and Service Tax. A consultant reviews the notice and the documents behind it, tells you what the department is actually alleging, and drafts or reviews your reply within the deadline on the notice.
What is personal hearing guidance?
A personal hearing is your chance to argue the matter in front of the adjudicating authority. Personal hearing guidance means a consultant prepares you for it: which points decide the case, which documents to carry, what the authority is likely to ask, and how to answer it. Some consultants will also appear with you.
Which GST and DGFT matters are covered?
On GST: registration queries, input tax credit disputes, show cause notice reply and personal hearing guidance. On DGFT and trade: IEC, Advance Authorisation, EPCG, restricted import and export licensing, SION and TRQ questions, and MSME registration. If your matter is not listed, describe it and we will match you to someone who handles it.
How quickly can I consult a verified expert?
Describe your matter and the matching engine finds a best-fit consultant, usually within 30 minutes. Where the consultant is available, you can consult over video the same day. Deadlines drive most compliance work, so tell us the date on your notice and we will prioritise accordingly.
How do you verify consultants?
Every consultant submits proof of qualification and practice before their profile is visible, and an admin checks it. Nobody is listed as a verified expert on the strength of their own claim. You can see each consultant's specialisation, experience and client reviews before you book.
What does a consultation cost?
Consultants set their own rates and each profile shows them before you book, so there is no surprise at the end. You pay securely online, and an invoice with GST is issued for every payment. Nothing is charged until you confirm the consultation.
Is my consultation confidential?
Yes. Consultations, documents and messages are visible only to you and the consultant you are working with. Tax and customs matters are commercially sensitive and often adversarial, and the platform is built on that assumption.
