The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, has issued Public Notice No. 15/2025-26, dated July 22, 2025, amending the application form ANF-2N for exporting Pharma Grade Sugar. Effective immediately, the columns for ‘Shipment Details’ and ‘Foreign Buyer / Consignee Details’ in ANF-2N, which were previously mandatory, are now optional. Exporters applying for authorization can now use generic placeholders such as ‘any buyer/any port of discharge’. This change permits exporters to provide buyer-specific details later, once an export order is confirmed and before the actual shipment takes place. This amendment streamlines the application process for obtaining export authorization for Pharma Grade Sugar.
