Export of sub-standard drugs by various companies and claiming DEPB/
Drawback benefits thereon
Circular No. 19
dated 23rd March 2001
DRI has issued an alert Circular
No.12/ 2001 from F.No.50D/ 9/ 2001-CI dated 9.2.2001 on the above subject
whereas it appears that certain lesser known companies are attempting to export
sub-standard formulations, which do not conform to the composition declared on
the containers/ labels, and may be of little therapeutical value and may not
conform to pharmacopoeia; these drugs are attempted to be exported under
various export promotion schemes.
2.����� In such cases, it appears that actual
composition of drugs exported is different from the composition given on the
containers/ labels, and thus would constitute mis-declaration. Such cases fall
under the category of mis-declaration under various provisions of Customs Act,
which would be attracted in such cases. In view thereof, apart from necessary
action under the Customs Act, such exports would not be eligible to the
benefits under various export promotion schemes, which are otherwise available
for export of certain standard formulations assuming certain percentages of
active ingredients imparting therapeutical properties etc.
3.����� Contents of this Circular may be brought
to the notice of the concerned officers and a watch be kept to ensure that
attempt is not made to get away with unwarranted export benefits by
mis-declaring nature & compost of Drugs/ formulations.
