M/s Shivam Global apparels Pvt.

Decision: The Committee considered the case as per agenda alongwith other relevant papers and went through the CAD, drawing, design and copies of invoices and shipping bills available on record. It was observed that in this

PRO version case there are two fabrics i.e Polyester Satin and Polyester Organsa and both the fabrics are used for making a single garment (Girls/Ladies Dresses). The Qty. requirement for Satin fabric is 2.26 Sq mtrs./Pc and for Organsa fabric is 2.16 Sq mtrs./Pc totaling 4.42 Sq mtrs/Pc in this case. Since, in this case firm exported only 1801 Pcs, which works out the total Qty. 7960.42 Sq mtrs. (1801X4.42 = 7960.42). Thus, Committee felt that difference in weaving of Polyester fabrics (Satin & Organsa) does not make any difference in monitoring the quantity. Therefore, Committee observed that monitoring of total Qty. of Satin & Organsa together does not make any difference. Hence, Committee after deliberations in consultation with representatives of technical authorities present in the meeting decided to condone the condition of monitoring the Qty. for Satin & Organsa separately in this case. R.A may be advised to issue EODC accordingly in this case. The R.A. shall be advised to take necessary action subject to compliance of other usual conditions.

The Committee observed that these two applications were routed through FIEO. The Committee went through the all relevant details submitted by the two new applicant firm in this matter and observed that as regards import item “Seeds” the quantitative requirement asked for varies from7.5 to 17.5kgs in the application all the four firms. The committee has also felt that since consumption of Seeds also depends on so many factors viz., quality of seeds, its origin germination condition, Geographical condition of the soil and harvesting condition. In view of the above, the

PRO version committee decided not change the quantity recommended which is at the minimum level of consumption.

Therefore, Committee after deliberations in consultation with the representative of technical authorities present in the meeting decided to recommend no quantitative change in the decision taken on 26.3.2009. However, all the items can be serially numbered and following notes can be incorporated to compute the quantitative requirement of import of packing items.

Note: 1 “It may be noted that a cotton bale would be packed either in grey cotton fabrics or in plastic woven fabrics, but never in both. Hence, import quantity of Sr. No.2 and Sr. No.3 to be computed taking into account the quantity of export product packed in grey cotton fabrics (for import item No.2) or quantity of export product backed in plastic woven fabrics (for import itemNo.3)”.

Note:2 “It may be noted that a cotton bale would be strapped either in Steel Coil or in PVC Strap, but even in both. Hence, import quantity at Sr. No.4 and /Or Sr. No.5 to be computed taking into account the quantity of export product strapped using Mild Steel Coil (Width ½”- ¾”) and/or quantity of export product in PVC straps (for import item No.5).”

        On these lines, the Committee recommends publication of SION for Raw Cotton (not carded or combed).
