Detailed Summary

Issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (Department of Commerce, Directorate General of Foreign Trade) as Notification No. 17/2023, S.O. 2902(E), dated 3rd July 2023, this notification, made under Section 3 read with Section 5 of the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992, read with paragraphs 1.02 and 2.01 of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023, amends the import policy condition for whole Areca nuts under ITC (HS) Code 08028010 of Chapter 08, Schedule-I (Import Policy) of ITC (HS) 2022. Under the existing policy, whole Areca nuts are prohibited except that import is free if the CIF value is Rs. 351 or more per kilogram, and the Minimum Import Price (MIP) condition does not apply to imports by 100% Export Oriented Units and SEZ units (provided no DTA sale is permitted); import of 17,000 metric tonnes of fresh (green) Areca nut annually from Bhutan without an MIP condition is allowed only through LCS Jaigaon (INJIGB) and only under a valid Registration Certificate issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). The revised policy condition retains these terms but additionally permits such duty-free import through LCS Chamurchi (INCHMB), subject to a valid port-specific Registration Certificate issued by DGFT. The notification further provides that conditions in DGFT Notification No. 36/2015-2020 dated 28.09.2022, read with Public Notice No. 61/2015-2020 dated 20.03.2023, also apply to LCS Chamurchi.

No.01/89/180/43/AM-01/PC-2[A]/Part-III/E-8258.
