Core Purpose

Amends export policy conditions under ITC (HS) 2022 for rice, requiring inspection certificates for EU and certain European countries, while exempting others for six months.

Detailed Summary

This notification amends the export policy for rice (Basmati and Non-Basmati) under ITC (HS) 2022, Schedule-II, referencing the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 and the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992. It modifies Notification No. 19/2024-25 dated 05.07.2024, stipulating that rice exports to EU member states, UK, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland require a Certificate of Inspection from the Export Inspection Council (EIC) or Agency (EIA). Exports to other European countries are exempt from this certificate requirement for six months, until September 9, 2025. This limits mandatory inspection to specific European destinations for rice exports, offering a temporary exemption elsewhere in Europe.
