Effect of this amendment: The standard Input Output Norms (SION) for export product under S No. A 1875 has been reviewed. There is change in the description of the Export and Import items.

In exercise of the powers conferred under paragraph 1.03 of the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020 and paragraph 1.01 of Handbook of Procedure (Vol I.), the following amendments are made in the Handbook of Procedures Vol.II.

Qty allowed

A-1875

Upgraded Beneficiated Ilmenite (Synthetic Rutile) containing Titanium Dioxide of 90-96% concentration (Specific % concentration to be mentioned)

1 Kg.

1

Furnace Oil

1.068 kg.

OR

 

Coal

1.000 kg.

2

IImenite Ore containing Titanium Dioxide of 49%-57% concentration (Specific% concentration to be mentioned

To be calculated as per the guidelines mentioned in the following note

3

Coke

0.182 kg.

Note:

I-Specific percentage of Titanium dioxide in export product to be mentioned in export documents.

II- Specific percentage of Titanium dioxide in import item 2 to be mentioned in import documentation.

III- For the purpose of entitlement of imported raw material, the percentage concentration of export item as well as concentration of import item 2 should be taken. For this the entitlement should be worked out considering 13.6% wastage on the actual net content of Titanium dioxide both in the export product and import product.

Eg:- If the export product contains 90% Titanium dioxide [weighted average of all shipments and import item i.e. Ilmenite ore contains 50% Titanium dioxide [weighted average of all bill of entries], entitlement may be worked out based on following formula:

Entitlement of import product per kg of export product = 90% * 1.136/50% = 2.045 kgs
