The Applicant has requested for review of the earlier decision of NC-II and submitted that review application cannot be filed through online mode as the name of the firm has been changed and IEC Code has also been changed.

The Applicant vide their e-mail dated 01.12.2021 has submitted following justification for this review:-

(i) Both the import item and the export item are standard industry items. Copper Concentrate is the industrial raw material for the copper Anode manufacturing process by using the standard manufacturing process by the Copper Industry all across the world.

(ii) The gold & silver are impurities which naturally occur in the copper concentrate. The norms are not required to be fixed for gold & silver. The norms are required to be fixed for copper concentrate (import item) and the export item which is Copper Anode. Gold & Silver are naturally occurring impurities in the copper when copper is extracted in the mines. They are not artificially added. The naturally occurring impurities cannot be extracted and therefore no wastage is required to be fixed for Gold & Silver as they are naturally occurring.

(iii) The manufacturing flow chart & manufacturing process is once again enclosed for your ready reference.
