Export of Onions (all varieties including Bangalore Rose onions and Krishnapuram onions) excluding cut, sliced or broken in powder form was prohibited by Notification No.13(RE-2010)/2009-14 of 22.12.2010. This prohibition on exports was relaxed vide Notification No.19(RE-2010)/2009-14 of 10.2.2011,as per which export of Bangalore Rose onions and Krishnapuram onions were placed in the Restricted category,to be exported under licence subject to Minimum Export Price (MEP) of US $ 1400 per Metric Ton.
Serial No. 3(ii) of Policy Circular No. 20(RE-2010)/2009-14 dated 14.02.2011 had stipulated certain documents to be submitted to concerned RAs for issuance of export licence . To facilitate expeditious issue of export licences, Sl. No. 3(ii) of Policy Circular No. 20(RE-2010)/2009-14 dated 14.02.2011 is amended as under[changes are being made in 3(ii) (b) & 3(ii) (c)]:
Trade and Industry has again represented that in respect of some export shipments prior to 12.01.2010, the benefit is being denied because the export product has been described on the shipping bill as “cotton powerloom-tufted bathmats/cotton powerloom-tufted bathrugs”. The representation says that a powerloom only weaves and cannot ‘tuft’. At the time of custom clearance they had to declare as to whether their export product is manufactured on a handloom or a powerloom. Since these cotton bathmats/bathrugs were not woven but tufted by using a tufting machine similar to table-top type sewing machine, the expression “cotton powerloom tufted” came to be used on the shipping bills. The Trade and Industry has, therefore, requested to issue necessary clarification that benefit of Chapter 3 of FTP may also be granted to such shipments.
