Outside agenda case

Case No.1 M/s Baliga Fishnets, Udupi F.No. 01/84/162/764/AM-08/DES-V Amendment in SION at S.No. H-158. Decision: The Committee considered the case as per agenda alongwith relevant papers and perused the report submitted by the team consisting officers from DGFT, DC (MSME) and DIPP, who visited the unit of M/s Baliga Fishnets, Udupi. The Committee observed that different polymeric materials are used for manufacture of nets. However, the most popular are Nylon, PE, PP and Polyester. Polyester nets are cheaper in cost. However, it is not much suitable due to higher specific gravity and as such yield per unit length is lower. Since it is alkaline in nature, it is not usable in sea water. The most favoured material is Nylon because of lower specific gravity and no shining nature, which help in more fish catches. As per statistics available, 60% of the nets are being made in Nylon and 25% in PE. In India, the most popular nets are Nylon multifilament/monofilament knotted nets. For manufacture of Nylon multifilament nets, the raw material used in Nylon filament high/normal tenacity yarn ranging from 210 Denier to 1890 Denier and for manufacture of Nylon monofilament nets, the raw material used is Nylon monofilament of normal tenacity of a diameter ranging from 2MM to 5MM. Multifilament nets can be repaired and have a life span of 2 to 3 years, while monofilament nets cannot be repaired and has life span of 6 to 8 months. In all deep sea fishing, Nylon multifilament gill nets are used. The Committee taking into account the whole process wastages involved in this felt that a total wastage of 5% is adequate in all the operations of manufacturing of knotted nets. It was therefore felt that the existing SION, at H-158 should also include Knotted nets in the export side. Therefore, Committee after close examination of existing SION, at S.No, H-158 decided to amend as detailed below :- S. No
Export Item Quantity Import Items Quantity allowed

PRO version H-158 Nylon filament knitted/knotted nets 1 Kg Relevant Nylon 6/66 monofilament yarn /Nylon multifilament yarn/ Nylon Multimono twine/ Nylon mono twine 1.05 Kgs. It was therefore decided to issue a Public Notice on the above line with the approval of DG.
