Applicants may note that for the preparation of Republic Day Parade and rehearsal, there may be entry restriction and security requirements in and around Rajpath (where Udyog Bhawan is located) especially after 20th January, 2011. Therefore they may seek earlier dates rather than wait for 20th, 21st and 24th January, which are the last three days.
Exporters of pharmaceutical products will be required to affix barcodes on their export products to facilitate tracing and tracking of their products. In order to enable exporters of pharmaceutical products for incorporation of this technology, adequate time is being given and that is why para 3 will be made applicable on 1st July 2011.
Submission of required documents (as given in Note 1 and Note 2 of Annexure I of Policy Circular No.9 dated 29/12/2010), scrutiny thereof and grant of RC, if found eligible, shall be held on the working days either in the forenoon (10.00 AM to 1.00 PM) or in the afternoon (2.00 PM to 5.00 PM) between 11th and 24th of January, 2011.
The Annexure to this Trade Notice contains the allocation of 19,00,000 Bales of cotton. The fractional numbers, in the annexed allocations will be rounded off at the time of issue of Registration Certificates, in order to ensure commercially meaningful transaction.
The exporters were required to submit the application for grant of Export Licence for Restricted items alongwith the self certified copy of Export Order/Purchase Order/ Proforma Invoice. But, in order to reduce the transaction cost, this requirement has been dispensed with. Now, the exporters will be required to only indicate the name and address of foreign buyers in the application form.
In such cases, the exporters shall use the manual Shipping Bill filing option on the DGFT’s server to file their application for Export Promotion Schemes (Chapter 3,4 and 5 for the FTP). Moreover, necessary documents in original including Shipping Bills will need to be submitted to jurisdictional Regional Authority of DGFT by the exporter. However, EDI Shipping Bills which are not transmitted properly will need to be EDI cleared and transmitted to DGFT’s Server for grant of benefits. EDI Shipping Bill will not be accepted through manual option mode.
