2. The issues were referred to M/O Steel and based upon their clarification,
responses thereto are given below:

Chapters 72,73 and 86 of ITC (HS), 2017 is also covered under scope of SIMS?
Response: Re-import ofS'teel for packaging purposes will not be covered under
SIMS as it IS noi primarily meant for value addition, rather being re-imported
for packaging only.

from DTA to SEZ and then imported from SEZ to DTA when [i] the item is being
imported to DTA without any value addition and [ii] the item is being imported
to DTA after some value addition?

[i] if the stee[steel item is ex-portedfrom DTA 10 SEZ and lhen imported into
DTA from SEZ without value addition, or [ii] with value addition, there should
