The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued Public Notice No. 27/2025-26 to reinstate and amend the suspended Standard Input Output Norms (SION) C676 for the export of “HOT DIPPED GALVANISED TENSION BAR/ GATE RODS/ TRUSS RODS/ DROP RODS.” The reinstated SION, effective immediately, specifies the permissible inputs and wastage allowance for exporting 1000 KGS of the finished product. The allowed imported inputs include RE-ROLLABLE SCRAP/BILLET CUTTINGS, MS BILLETS/BLOOMS, or NON-ALLOY STEEL WIRE RODS, with a wastage allowance of 1.10 per KG of the net weight of the ungalvanized steel content in the final product. Additionally, the norm permits the import of ZINC with 99.99\% purity as an input, with an allowed wastage of per KG of the steel content in the exported product. This action revises the earlier suspended norms to establish clear regulatory standards for the import of raw materials used in the manufacture of these specific galvanized steel exports.
