|
Dear Members,
O/o the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued a Notification No. 28/2025-26 dated 28th August 2025 on amendment in Para 2.03(A) (i) (g) of the FTP 2023 laying down enabling provisions for import of inputs that are subjected to mandatory quality control orders (QCOs), by Advance Authorisation holders, EOU and SEZ.
Earlier, for chemical and petrochemical products notified by the Department of Chemicals & Petrochemicals (DCPC), the Export Obligation (EO) period was restricted to 180 days (6 months).
The New Provision (after amendment) is EO period for such imports as per Para 4.40 of the Handbook of Procedures is 18 months. DGFT has removed an important compliance barrier. Exporters now have more time to process imported inputs, manufacture finished goods, and gives exporters much-needed breathing space to stay compliant and competitive
Copy of notification is enclosed for your ready reference.
