In exercise of the powers conferred by Section 5 of the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992 (No.22 of 1992) read with Para 1.3 of the Foreign Trade Policy, 2009-2014, the Central Government, with immediate effect, hereby re-notifies Chapter 27 of Schedule 2 of ITC(HS) Classification of Export and Import Items.

Accordingly, the entries to be made in the export authorization document EUR and GSP are as follows.

While giving a declaration for non-availment of CENVAT credit, applicant has to ensure that it has also not claimed CENVAT credit on service tax on input services.
