Public Notice No. 6 (RE-2002)/2002-07, dated 12th April 2002, issued by the Ministry of Commerce, introduces corrections to the “Schedule of DEPB Rates” under the Export and Import Policy, 2002-07. The notice revises General Instructions for DEPB rates, specifying that DEPB rates do not apply to certain exports, such as those manufactured in free trade zones, or exports under schemes like DFRC or Advance License. Additionally, the Product Group “Chemicals” has been updated with new DEPB rates for specific items, including ceramic glazed floor tiles (14.00), various types of paper (6.00), and optical brighteners (7.00). The notice also deletes an existing entry (S.No. 665) under the Chemicals product group. Two new items, automobile tubeless tyres (13.00) and N-Oxydiethylene Benzothiazole Sulfenamide (10.00), are added to the Chemicals group. These changes, effective from 12th April 2002, are aimed at ensuring clarity in the application of export benefits under the relevant EXIM Policy provisions.
