10.11 — Voluntary Self Disclosure of export of dual use items

DGFT recognizes that there may be occasions where responsible exporters, occasionally did not comply with the export control provisions of the FTDR Act, WMD Act, Customs Act, or any regulation, order, license, or other authorization on export controls issued by DGFT. DGFT encourages voluntary self disclosures of failure to comply with the export control provisions, and supports raising awareness among exporters to avoid any incidents of noncompliance while taking strict action under FTDR Act for violation of SCOMET policy in cases other than voluntary self disclosure.
