10.05 — Additional controls on Non-SCOMET items for dual use (Catch-all controls)

If the exporter has been notified in writing by DGFT or he knows or has reason to believe that an item not covered in the SCOMET list has a potential risk of use in or diversion to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) or in missile system or military use (including by terrorists and non-state actors), he shall apply for a SCOMET authorisation. The export of such an item may be denied or permitted as per the procedure provided for SCOMET items in Paragraph 10.06 of HBP.

Note: “Military use ” shall mean incorporation into items listed under SCOMET Category 6 or for the use, development, or production of military items listed in this category.

Exporter who is going to export/transfer such items regulated under Catch-all Controls is required to obtain a SCOMET license from DGFT. IMWG examines such applications filed in prescribed proforma [ANF 10A] alongwith relevant documents in terms of Para 10.06 of HBP.
