Notification No. 19 (RE-2003)/2002-2007 revises export policy for rare earths and other minerals, making them freely exportable.
Some Export Promotion Councils have opined that it is difficult to collect data from all the exporters exporting a particular product and requested for relaxation of this condition. It is hereby clarified that it is not the intention of the Policy Circular No.8 dt. 20th June, 2003 to call for data from each and every exporter of a particular product and the intention is only in getting representative data. Export Promotion Councils can forward data related to 60-65% of total exports under a particular DEPB entry and also they should get themselves satisfied that the data forwarded is representative.
