Subject:- Conditions and modalities for
applications for grant of quota for export of cotton yarn.
Attention is invited to
Notification No. 14 (RE-2010)/2009-14 dated
22.12.2010 whereby export of cotton yarn under ITC(HS) codes 5205 , 5206 & 5207
was placed under the restricted category with export allowed subject to
licensing. The data for export made from 1/4/2010 to 15/1/2011 is being
collected and allocation will be made for the balance quantity keeping in view
the decision of GoM to limit the export of cotton yarn to 720 Million Kg. during
the year 2010-11. Accordingly, it has been decided to invite applications for
allocation of quota for export of cotton yarn from 02.02.2011 to 07.02.2011
(till 5.00 PM).
- All applications for grant of quota shall be sent only through E-mail at
cottonyarnexport-dgft@nic.in. Annexure-1 of this Policy Circular gives a sample
email for the purpose.
- Allocation will be made after scrutiny of applications, as per the following
criteria:-
- Allocation will be done on a prorata basis. The maximum that an applicant
can apply is 100,000 Kg. per IEC or what has been exported by such IEC holder
during 2009-10, whichever is more.( Example : if an applicant has exported
120,000 kg in 2009-10, then such applicant can apply for a maximum amount of
120,000 kg only ; similarly an applicant who has not exported at all in 2009-10
can apply upto 100,000 kg)
- Only one application per IEC will be accepted and any subsequent
application made by the same IEC holder will be rejected and not considered for
allocation.
- After the allocation is made, the applicants will be required to submit
applications in prescribed format (i.e. ANF 2D) to concerned RAs from 11th
February 2011 to 18th February 2011. The concerned RAs will then issue the
export authorizations for the allocated quantities after scrutiny of the
documents. The following documents will be submitted by allottees to the RA’s:
- Application form (ANF 2D) duly filled and signed,
- Copy of Export Contract alongwith :
either (i) A copy of irrevocable Letter of Credit(LC) duly authenticated by
an Indian Bank.
Or (ii) FIRC showing receipt of remittance from the concerned foreign buyer as
proof of having received 100% Advance Payment.
Or (iii) FIRC showing a minimum of 25% Advance Payment and balance Cash Against
Delivery(CAD),
- Copy of IEC (against which the original application to DGFT has been
sent)
The process of issuance of authorizations would be completed by 18th
February, 2011. The export under such authorizations would need to be completed
before 31st March, 2011 so as to ensure export of 720 Million Kg. of cotton yarn
as per GoM decision.
- Applicants who fail to submit the stipulated documents within prescribed
time or where documents are found to be incorrect or erroneous, that applicant
shall be declared ineligible. They will forfeit their right to seek further
allocation.
- Failure to export the allocated quantity within the stipulated time would
invite debarment from further allocation. In addition, penal action as per
Section 11(2) of the Foreign Trade(D&R) Act would be initiated. For ready
reference Section 11(2) is extracted below:-
“11(2). Where any person makes or abets or attempts to make any export or
import in contravention of any provisions of this Act or any rules or order made
thereunder or the Foreign Trade Policy, he shall be liable to a penalty of not
less than ten thousand rupees and not more than five times the value of the
goods or services or technology in respect of which any contravention is made or
attempted to be made, whichever is more.”
- Calendar for process of applications, issue of Export Authorizations and
export is provided in Annexure-2 to this Policy Circular.
- This issues with the approval of Commerce Secretary.
