by SCOMET Cell, DGFT (Hqrs) under Signature of FTDO
(SCOMETL DDG (Export)
[Trade
Notice No. 20/2018 dated 6 July 2018]
Subject:- Issuance of export authorization/license by DGFT (Hqrs) for export of SCOMET items
During an interaction of Director General of
Foreign Trade with the major exporters of dual use SCOMET items on 30th May
2018, industry representatives requested that DGFT may consider the issue of
SCOMET export authorisations from DGFT (Hqrs) itself to avoid delay in grant of export authorisations.
2. It has accordingly been decided that w.e.f. 06.07.2018, export authorisations
for SCOMET items would be issued by the SCOMET Cell, DGFT (Hqrs)
under the signature of FTDO (SCOMETL DDG (Export) or any other official
designated for the purpose, with a copy to jurisdictional Regional Authorities
of DGFT.
3. However, issues relating to revalidation
of SCOMET authorisations after expiry, penal action in
terms of FTDR Act, grant of MEIS and other benefit, etc., would continue to be
handled by the concerned jurisdictional Regional Authority, in terms of the existing
provision in FTP/HBP.
4. Further, jurisdictional
Regional Authorities would immediately issue export authorisations
in respect of those SCOMET cases, against which permissions have been issued by
DGFT (Hqrs) prior to issue of this Trade Notice.
5. This issues with the approval of competent
authority.
