Investigations pertaining to illegal import of
vitamins under Foreign Trade (Development & Regulations), Act 1992
Reports have been received in the D. G. F. T. (Hqrs.)
that import of Vitamins/ Vitamin Mixes continue to take place as per the norms
prevalent prior to 1.4.97 even though norms for per - mix vitamins have been
revised w. e. f. 1-4-97. There are complaints that certain Regional Licensing
Authorities have issued/ revised/ allowed pro rata enhancement or multiple
revalidation so as to allow higher quantities of such items against advance
licences based on the pre-revised norms.
You are hereby advised to stop clearance of all such
consignments forthwith and freeze operation of such licences and forward those
licences to DGFT (Hqrs) for examination and scrutiny at the earliest. Quantities
of premixed vitamins only to the extent of 27 Kg. Per MT of export should be
allowed against these licences until further orders.
This issues with the approval of D. G. F. T.
