Policy Circular No. 50 (RE-08)/2004-2009
Dated: 06.1.2009
To
All Licensing Authorities;
All Commissioners of Customs;
Trade and Industry
Subject: Correlation of inputs with the export product under DFIA
Scheme-regarding.
Representations have been received from the trade and industry that for want of
corresponding DGFT policy circular in line with the Customs
Circular No. 46/07 dt. 20.12.07 on the nexus of the inputs with the exported product, they are
facing difficulties in clearance of import consignment from the field formations
of customs.
- The matter was examined in detail. DFIA is issued strictly as per SION. There
are 22 sensitive items (inputs) listed in paragraph 4.55.3 of HBP v.1, for which
an exporter need to specify the technical specification, quality,
characteristics etc. to establish nexus with the product exported. For other
inputs, such details are not required unless otherwise specifically mentioned in
the SION. In this regard, customs circular no. 46/07 dated 20.12.07 has been
issued.
- It is therefore clarified that except for the items(inputs) specified in
paragraph 4.55.3 of HBP v.1, such correlation is not required to be established
in other cases unless the SION prescribes for the same.
- This issues with the approval of DGFT.
