DGFT Mumbai but they have taken objection that we have not fulfilled pre-import conditions. Since the Government has accepted our views/ difficulty and hence they have deleted the said item form Appendix 4J. Also the raw material was freely importable and hence anybody can import without any condition. So we request you to condone the delay in exports

Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of justification submitted by the applicant. The Committee, after detailed discussion decided to accede to the request of the firm for condonation of 90 days delay in completing the Export Obligation against Advance Authorization No. 0311018581 dated 14.10.2022 subject to payment of composition feeas per policy provisions.

Case No.04 M/s. Shairu Gems Diamonds Private Limited, Mumbai

F.No. HQREPCGPRAPP00001307AM26

Meeting No. O6AM26 held on 04.06.2025

Subject: Free shipping bills to be considered towards fulfillment of SEO in Term ; ma et"

of Policy Circular No. 7/2002 date 11/07/2002 against 14 EPCG Authorizations.

Applicant Statement: Our request in terms of Policy Circular no. 07/2002 dt. 11/07/2002 for condonation of procedural lapse for not mentioning EPCG Authorization no and date on the shipping bills. We are one of the leading manufacturer exporters of Gems & Diamonds holding status of FOUR STAR EXPORT HOUSE earning much needed foreign exchange for our country. Till date we have obtained more than 209 Zero duty EPCG Authorization out of which 192 Authorizations have been closed surrendered 1and only 16 are pending for closure in-spite of completing the SEO and maintaining Average Export Obligation. We wish to inform you that we have fulfilled the entire export obligation and have submitted the hard copy of all the original documents at R&! counter and have also uploaded redemption applications online as per list of Authorization attached. Initially we have obtained few Authorizations from R. A. Surat and then switch over to R. A. Mumbai since we are having offices in Surat as well as in Mumbai. While making an export shipment by oversight we have not mentioned the EPCG Authorization number and date in shipping bills therefore it is treated as free shipping by our R.A. Mumbai/Surat. In this connection we requested them to give the benefit of Policy Circular no. 07/2002 dt. 11/07/2002 and have executed Affidavit/Undertaking duly certified by C.A. All our exports are direct and there is no third party export involved. We have received deficiency memos from R.A. Mumbai/Surat against all Authorizations being uploaded for your reference. There is only one query about not mentioning EPCG Authorization number and date in shipping bills therefore it is treated as free shipping bills and cannot be considered towards fulfillment of specific export obligation (SEO). On having meeting with the concerned officer it is informed that since we have not declared any scheme or benefit under chapter - 3 of Exim Policy in shipping bills so it is treated as free shipping hence benefit of Policy Circular no 07/2002 cannot be given. We have referred P.C. 07/2002 and noted that nowhere in this circular it is mentioned that there should be declaration in the S/B about claiming benefit under chapter-3 or any other scheme. The circular is very clear about the free shipping bill giving relaxation under para 2.5 of Exim Policy. Sir, for Diamond and Gems sector no benefit under Chapter-3 of the Exim Policy was given during that particular period in the Exim Policy pertaining to the year 2015-2020 though the MEIS scheme benefit was there for other sectors. Even there is neither drawback nor advance Licence benefit available till today for Diamond and Gems sector than how we can give declaration at the time of shipment for claiming benefit under chapter-3 & etc. of the Exim Policy. The person in charge of the DGFT matter left the job before Covid 19 period and the new person handling the export documentation due to lack of proper understanding of scheme could not prepare SBs under EPCG Scheme. Secondly may be there was no benefit available under chapter-3 and advanced Authorization he might not have given declaration hence these shipping bills are being treated as free shipping bills. To substantiate our statement we are uploading copy of Notification no, 8/2015-2020 dt. 04/06/2015 for amendment in para 3.06, INELIGIBLE CATOGORIES UNDER MEIS Sr. no. XI for Gold, Silver Platinum etc. MEIS was replaced by RoDTEP in the month of August, 2021vide Notification no. 19/2015-2020 dt. 17/08/2021. We only came to know this mistake while preparing the application for redemption and at the same time the concerned staff was unfortunately victim of COVID-19. Sir, you would also observe from the Z ar

attached statement that all our EPCG Authorizations are issued between AM 2017 & 18. Our export shipments are made between January, 2020 and March, 2020, E.O. is completed within a span of three months during extreme COV.

Decision: The Committee went through the statements made by the firm and discussed the matter at length and observed that the applicant has not submitted any cogent reason/ justification in support of any genuine hardship faced by them. Accordingly, the Committee decided to reject the request.

Case No.05

M/s. Louis Vuitton India Retail Private Limited, Gurugram

F.No. HQARPRCAPPLY00008681AM25

Meeting No. O6AM26 held on 04.06.2025

Subject: 1. The gold studded jewellery imported by the Applicant should be allowed to be cleared without an Authorization to import restricted Goods 2. Jewellery against Licenses for Restricted Items. Alternatively, please issue a post-dated Authorization for clearance of the specific shipment of gold studded.

Applicant Statement: 1. The Applicant had imported gold studded jewellery from Singapore, classifiable under HS Code 71131913. The goods arrived in India on June 12, 2024. Bill of Entry (BOE) was filed for clearing the goods on the same date. 2. On June 11, 2024, Notification No. 17/2024-25 dated June 11, 2024 (the Notification) was issued at 10:47 pm, while the goods were in transit. 3. The Notification amended the import policy of gold studded jewellery covered under HS Code 71131913 from Free to Restricted with immediate effect. 4. The goods were exported from Singapore under Airway Bill dated June 11, 2024 (AWB) issued at 4 pm (Singapore Standard Time), which corresponds to 1:30 pm Indian Standard Time. 5. While the date of import (i.e. date of AWB) and the Notification is the same, the AWB was issued nine hours prior to the Notification. 6. Therefore, the restriction introduced by the Notification is not applicable to the goods under question (as per Para 1.05(b) of Foreign Trade Policy, 2023), as it was imported before the issuance of the Notification. 7. Accordingly, the Applicant is seeking a relaxation from the requirement to obtain authorization to import restricted goods, i.e., for the goods imported under the BOE. 8. Alternatively, the Applicant requests for issuance of Authorization for this shipment which can be produced before Customs for allowing clearance of the goods.

Decision: Case is withdrawn.

Meeting No. 06AM26 held on 04.06.2025

Subject: Submissions in support of application to Policy Relaxation Committee for relaxation: To import of Two Right Hand Drive (RHD) Used Mercedes-Benz Vehicle for purpose of conducting testing on the Vehicles imported for R & D testing purposes only: 1) For import via air at Chennai Airport or sea at Chennai Seaport.

This is a defer case of PRC Meeting No.29AM25 held on 25.03.2025 & 02.04.2025 (Case No.28) where in Committee decided to refer to PC-2 for suitable action.

Applicant Statement: We, Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India Pvt. Ltd. (hereinafter the Applicant or the Company or MBRDI) would like to place the following detailed submissions in support of our application to this esteemed committee concerning relaxation sought in respect of import of Two used RHD testing cars. Our submissions below may be read in conjunction with our substantive application. Import Policy Conditions in Brief: (1) Policy Condition for Port of Import for Second Hand or Used Imported Vehicles (Policy Para (1)(d){iv)): The import of used vehicles shall be permitted only through the custom ports at Mumbai seaport. (2) Policy Condition to Ply on the Road (Policy Para 11) The Policy Condition restrict as per DGFT Notification No 07/08.05.2018 Para 10 as Vehicles shall not ply on public roads). Policy Relaxation: |. We are seeking relaxation in Policy:- (1) To import of Used Two RHD Mercedes-Benz Vehicles to be permitted for import at Chennai Airport or Chennai Seaport for the purpose of conducting research/testing on the Vehicles imported for R & D testing. (2) To allow the imported vehicle for registration with RTO to ply on public road for onroad condition testing for research & development and not for any other use after registration in terms of DGFT Notification No. 14/2015-2020 dated 28.08.2019. Il. Justified reason for import from AirPort or Seaport other than from designated port of import:- We would like to provide a brief explanation for our request for this relaxation. At the moment, only Roll-on Roll-off (Ro-Ro) ships dock in Mumbai Seaport and Ro-Ro Vessel companies do not accept used vehicle transportation from Germany to Mumbai Seaport. So, it has become difficult for us to import the used vehicle quickly and to complete the project that our customers expect from us. It also leads to revenue losses at the company and country levels. We are looking for an alternative way to import via other seaports through closed containers or airports for the reasons stated above and to achieve faster shipment timelines. This will help us in importing the vehicles as quickly as the business expects.

This is due to the facts that our technical person was out of station for more than 6 months on some emergency situation and hence we were unable to prepare the technical documents. We are now unable to make review application due to fact that the Window on DGFT portal is locked. In view of the above, we submit our application to PRC for consideration of opening the Window by relaxing policy provision under para 4.17 of HBP 2023 so \

that we can file our review application along with all required technical documents for considering our application for fixation of Ad-hoc norms as applied otherwise there will be huge liability on us for payment of custom duty and applicable interest in spite of doing export and realizing foreign exchange. We humbly request PRC Committee to advice EGTF team to do the necessary changes on the DGFT portal to open the application window so that we can submit our review application. We wish to emphasize that there is no default on us except the delay in making representation in the stipulated time for which we request honorable committee to condone the delay as it is only the procedural matter. In the light of the above, we humbly request the Hon'ble chairman of the PRC committee and Norms Committee 2 and respective members to accept our request to relax the policy provisions for submission of the Review Application beyond 12 Months from the date of MOM Published in the interest of export promotion measures.

Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of submission made by the firm and discussed the matter at length.

Subject: Request for Fixation of Norms with NC 5and to set aside Order-in-Appeal against Advance Authorization No. 0710106576 dated 27/08/2014.

Applicant Statement We refer to the above and wish to bring it to your kind attention that the said Advance Authorization was awarded for us on 27.08.2014 under No-Norms Self Declaration Scheme, for import of 39960 Meters of Nylon Fabric 210D PU Coated Water Resistant for the purpose of converting the said Raw-Material into Seat Covers SAS (1 No. is equal to 1.24 Meters) with the total Export Quantity fixed for 32333 numbers of the said Export Product. On getting the said Advance Authorization, we have imported 28941 Meters of the cited import ingredient on various dates and completed Export Obligation in total as against the import item as stipulated by the Authorization Issuing Authority, RA, O/o. The JDGFT, Bangalore. The Export Proceeds against the exports affected have been realized on time. The E-BRCs evidencing receipt of payment from the overseas clientele could not be generated by our Bankers due to technical snarls from their side. The delay in getting EBRCs from our Bankers led us to submit proof of documents with the concerned authority for closure of this authorization beyond permissible time. We have applied for closure of this authorization with the concerned authority in the month of November 2021 due to exorbitant delay in getting EBRCs from our Bankers. Upon submission of requisite documents with the concerned RA, O/o. The JDGFT, Bangalore, we have been asked to submit our reply for some of the queries raised by them which has been answered well on time with them. Our replies for the Deficiencies raised by the RA have been considered positively by them except fixation of norms for our firm. Even-so, we have preferred this authorization under No-Norms Self Declaration Scheme, we were not aware of the fact that separate application had to be preferred with the Norms Committee with all necessary inputs for fixation of Norms for the above referred import Product. We came to know about this fact only after the Deficiency raised by the RA in the year February 2022 on this respect. No sooner we came to know about this, we have approached the Norms Committee in the year April 2022 for fixation of norms for the cited import item. Our request for fixation of Norms for the said import item was not accorded by the Norms Committee (NC) due to slight variation in quantity consumption. The NC's deficiency was replied by us by providing justifications in the year November 2022. When these communications are under way, the concerned RA initiated the process of issuing Order-in-Original \ ooh b- aa

for delayed submission of Proof of Documents evidencing exports made against the said authorization. The Order-in-Original was replied by us under Order-inAppeal with the ZADGFT, Chennai with proper justification by us which has not been considered by them being time barred reply from our side. At this juncture, we pray your good-selves to accord your consent by giving us an opportunity to consider our request to direct The Norms Committee (NC) 5 to consider our case on the merits of the case by allowing genuine wastage as per the calculations submitted by us with them. We do also request your good-selves to set aside the Order-in-Appeal issued by the ZADGFT, Chennai for the said authorization and direct them to consider our case on the merits of the case for necessary closure of this authorization. These prayers are being put forth by us at your good-selves due to the facts that we have fulfilled 100% Export Obligation against this authorization and realized Foreign Exchange for the exports effected in full well on time.

Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of submission made by the firm and discussed the matter at length. The Committee noted that it is not a PRC matter and decided to refer to ECA Division.

Applicant Statement: Saharanpur unit had imported machines under Post Export EPCG Scheme (Notification No. 023/2013 dated 18/04/2013) by paying full customs duty. Manual Bill of entry was filed since there was no provision in the EDI system. Post fulfillment of export obligation, DGFT Bangalore issued duty scrips under para 5.12 of the FTP2015-20. The scrips were submitted to Delhi Customs in December,2018 for registration. Customs refused to process the application mentioning absence of provision to manually register the scrips and secondly that the amendment sheet (scrip) mentioned that ‘the scrip is not for imports’. Several meetings were held and following explained: a. ‘Not for imports’ Term is used for initial authorization received for import as per para 5.28 of Handbook of Procedure, but not for scrips received post fulfillment of export obligation. b. Scrips are to be manually registered as done at other ports in India. However, inspite of repeated requests, no action was taken. Only in December, 2019 the Customs Delhi sought clarification from DGFT Bangalore on whether the licenses could be used for imports and to verify their genuineness, to which the latter replied favorably. However, till then, the licenses valuing Rs.74 Lakhs had already expired. Detailed covering letter dated 07.01.21 attached.

Case No. 30 M/s. Maharashtra Seamless Limited, Gurugram F.No. HARPRCAPPLYO0000685AM26 Meeting No.06AM26 held on 04.06.2025

Subject: Extension of EOP against Advance Authorization No. 0511016209 dated 06/12/2022.

Applicant Statement: We, M/s. Maharashtra Seamless Ltd., is flagship company of D.P Jindal Group of companies which is in existence since its establishment in 1988 and is a market leader (both in capacity and product range) in Seamless Steel Line Pipe / Seamless Steel Casing and Tubing / Black Pipe / ERW Steel Casing and OCTG (Oil & Country Tubular Goods). MSL has been exporting its products to almost every nook & corner of the globe since last 30 years with annual exports touching around 100,000 MT / USD 100Million. We have contributed significantly to the national economy, and have always strived to uphold the highest standards of compliance with all relevant regulations and laws. We would like to bring to your kind attention that our Export Obligation remains pending for fulfillment against the Imports made under Advance Authorizations as mentioned below, for the export of SEAMLESS STEEL CASING AND TUBING. Despite availing the Export Period Extension as provided under the Foreign Trade Policy and Procedures, we are still facing challenges in meeting the export

obligation. REASON FOR NOT FULFILL THE EXPORT OBLIGATION: Due to unforeseen market conditions, we are facing difficulties in completing the required exports obligation within the stipulated obligation period. The main points as mentioned below: 1. Despite our best efforts, The global market slowdown in the steel industry has significantly impacted our export performance, as reduced demand from key international markets has resulted in a decline in both volume & sustainable export sales prices, 2. The USA, was a major consumer of ?Seamless Steel Casing & Tubing? from India; however, due to the imposition of ?Section 232 tariff on India,? from 2018 onwards implying 25% duty on Indian products have put us in a great price disadvantage position as compared to other countries having no section 232 on their products., 3. There has been very weak demand for OCTG products over the last two years. 4. Moreover, Russia ? Ukraine war for last 3 years have disturbed the World Geo political situation to a great extent. 5. The RussiaUkraine war has disrupted India's steel pipe exports, with supply chain issues, rising raw material costs, and international sanctions on Russia further complicating trade flows and market access. All these factors coupled together have resulted in our lower export volumes in last few years especially which is no match our performance of earlier Years. Due to lower sales volumes, the major affected product is Seamless Steel Casing & Tubing. If need, we can always present our data to prove our point. REQUEST: In light of the above circumstances, we kindly request your esteemed office to grant us a special extension of the export obligation period under the aforementioned authorizations. This extension will provide us with the additional time needed to fulfill our obligations, enabling us to meet our export targets without facing financial or operational setbacks, and continue contributing to India’s export growth. We assure you of our commitment to completing the export obligations at the earliest and adhering to all prescribed norms and conditions. We would be grateful for your kind consideration and approval of this request. We look forward to your continued support and hope the government will assist us during this challenging time by granting a one-year extension to fulfill the Export Obligation.

Decision: The Committee examined the submission made by the applicant and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to accede to the request and allowed EOP extension of Advance Authorization No. 0511016209 dated 06.12.2022 for a further period of 12 months from the date of endorsement subject to payment of composition fees as per policy provisions. The firm shall approach RA concerned within 30 days from the date of uploading of the minutes of meeting.

Subject: Waiver of Procedural requirement as per HBP against Advance Authorization No. 0711000668 dated 12/03/2021, 0711001163 dated 24/05/2021 and 0711002698 dated 21/12/2021. Applicant Statement: We are manufacturer exporter of Article of Plastics and Articles Made of Stainless Steel. For which we have obtained advance authorization Nos. 0711000668 Date 12/03/2021, 0711001163 Date 24/05/2021 and 0711002698 Date 21/12/2021. Our request to PRC is based on our genuine hardships faced by us during Covid period such as lack of communication with DGFT HQ in respect of norms fixation which resulted in rejection our cases. During the Covid period. We could nor communicate or speak to concerned officer at DGFT HQ. Most of our staff who were handling DGFT matters had left our company and we had no regular Information on Advance Authorization matters. After covid period, we had streamlined our operations however due to frequent modifications of the portal and technical issues; it took considerable time for us to familiarize with portal. We did not know the rejection of our cases since we did not had day to day access to Norms Module. When we approached JDFT for EODC, we were told that our cases have been rejected. The reason for rejection of Norms application is only due to non-reply of deficiency letter on time but not for any other reason. Now as we have streamlined/ rearranged our activities and put DGFT matters under separate head, we are in a position to reply satisfactorily the deficiencies raised by Norms Committee. Since the DGFT portal is not allowing us to re-open the norms application beyond 12 months of Mom Published date. We pray before the chairman of the norms committee and respective members to acknowledge our submission and waive the procedural requirement Towards Re-

:

Opening of Norms Application beyond 12 Months from MOM Published date as per HBP grant us the approval. We have completed the export obligation. However, since the norms is rejected. We are unable to submit the EODC Application.

Decision: The Committee examined the case on the basis of submission made by the firm and discussed the matter at length. After detailed discussion it was decided to refer to the concerned Norms Committee for the grounds as stated (not responding to DL) for examination & resolution, provided it is a first Review.

F.No. HQRPRCAPPLY00000710AM26

Subject: Revalidation of Authorization/Certificate against Advance Authorization No. 0111007834 dated 18/10/2023.

Applicant Statement: We are writing on behalf of Sandberg Sports, with reference to the import license granted to us on 18/10/2023 for the import of 4000 units of air weapons from Cheshire Gun Room, Stockport, UK. The license was subsequently revalidated for an additional six months, with the revised expiry date being 18/04/2025. We would like to bring to your kind attention that we have already successfully imported approximately 85% of the total quantity permitted under the

~36<<

license. However, due to unforeseen delays on the part of our UK vendor, who is a trader and not a manufacturer, the remaining shipments were delayed. These delays were beyond our control, and we have been in constant communication with the vendor to expedite the process. We have now been informed that the vendor has received the remaining stock and is ready to ship the balance quantity. However, as the current revalidated license has just expired, we humbly request your consideration to grant a second revalidation for a period of four (4) months to enable us to complete the import of the remaining units under the same license. We sincerely request your support and understanding in this matter, and we assure you of our compliance with all applicable norms and procedures.

Decision: The Committee went through the statements made by the firm and discussed the matter at length and observed that the applicant has not submitted any cogent reason/ justification in support of any genuine hardship faced by them. Accordingly, the Committee decided to reject the request.
