Note-6 of Notification No. 82 of 31.10.2011 relating to export of meat.
S.O. (E) In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 5 of the Foreign Trade
(Development & Regulation) Act, 1992 (No.22 of 1992) read with Para 1.3 and 2.1
of the Foreign Trade Policy, 2009-14, the Central Government hereby makes the
following amendments in Notification No. 82 (RE 2010)/2009-14 dated 31.10.2011as
under:-
-
Notification No. 82 (RE 2010)/2009-14 dated 31.10.2011 contained 8 notes.
Note- 6 of this notification is reproduced below:
“Note 6: Export of meat and meat products will be allowed subject to the
exporter furnishing a declaration, attached with copies of valid APEDA Plant
Registration Certificate(s) to the customs at the time of exports that the above
items have been obtained/ sourced from an APEDA registered integrated abattoir
or from APEDA registered meat processing plant which sources raw material
exclusively from APEDA registered integrated abattoir/abattoir”.
- The provision in Note-6 of Notification No. 82 about exporters of meat and
meat products having sourced raw material exclusively from APEDA registered
integrated abattoir/abattoir was a new stipulation. This provision, alongwith
all other provisions of Notification No. 82, became effective from the date of
notification i.e. 31.10.2011.
- Now it has been decided to grant some transition time to make this provision
effective. Accordingly, this amendment is being notified to bring into effect
the above provision of Note-6 of Notification No. 82 after six months from today
i.e. from 15th June, 2012. Rest of the Notification No. 82 (RE-2010)/2009-14
dated 31.10.2011 continues to be effective from the date of issue i.e.
31.10.2011.This transitional arrangement would enable the exporters of meat and
meat products to upgrade their abattoirs for sourcing of raw material and obtain
registration from APEDA. Keeping in view paramount concern for public health and
hygiene, no further extension of time will be granted.
- Effect of this notification
The stipulation that raw material for export of meat and meat products must be
sourced exclusively from APEDA registered abattoir/integrated abattoir will come
into effect on 15.06.2012, instead of 31.10.2011.
