Decision: The Committee considered the case as per agenda alongwith other relevant papers and heard Sh.Aviram Keshava, Head, Export (Commercial) in the firm, who appeared for personal hearing alongwith one technical person before Committee. It was observed that this case was earlier decided by NC with condition of specific GSM i.e 200+/-10%. The representative informed that the consumption and wastage of Chemical follow the same proportion across all GSM of fabric and for manufacture of Flame Retardant woven fabrics made out of cotton dyed fabric, they are using GSM range from 180 – 400 in order to match with buyers order, hence, imposition of specific GSM condition i.e 200+/-10% should be deleted in this case. It was explained that in the process when particular GSM is put into the process, approximately 7-8% weight is gained on the imported fabric on account of Chemical addon on them. Accordingly, Committee felt that in this case export Qty. shall be enhanced from 104169 Kgs to 112502 Kgs. Further, Committee also felt that import Qty. of fabric is also asked on weight basis likewise Chemical in this case, hence, specific GSM condition may be deleted. Therefore, the GSM of import and export item should match within variation of +/-10%. Accordingly, the Committee after deliberations in consultation with the representatives of technical authorities present in the meeting decided to rectify its earlier decision as detailed below:- Export item Export Qty.
