No. 24/AM10 DT. 15.10..2009 Status: Deferred. HQ File :01/85/162/00135/AM10/DES.VI RLA File :09/Misc./DFIAAM09 The Committee examined the letter dated 05.10.2009 submitted by Jt DGFT regarding alleged loss of revenue by wrong fixation of SION E5. The Committee has recently decided the issue regarding dry fruits and it would suffice to mention that the request of M/s. Parle Products Pvt. Ltd., for inclusion of dry fruits as optional was not accepted. Committee decided to send a copy of minutes to Jt. DGFT. The second issue which has been raised in letter dt. 5.10.2009 relates to allowing the import of Cocoa Powder under SION 5 under subcategory of Additives and Bakery ingredients. This case was also examined in detail in the case of M/s. Disha Foods Pvt. Ltd, Hyderabad & M/s. Ravi Foods Pvt Ltd, Hyderabad in NC meeting No. 17 held on 01.09.2009 , M.No. 10/10 dt. 09.07.2009 and decision taken was recorded and finalized in consultation with technical representatives in the meeting. Clearly, the Show Cause Notice/ Demand Notice dt. 23.01.2009 issued by RA Hyderabad were not correct, since the import item is indeed a bakery ingredient which is used to impart cocoa taste in Biscuits. However the Committee felt that Foods Division of MSME may like to examine and revert back in 15 days. Case may be relisted on 05.11.2009.
