Export of Military Stores - DGFT clarifies
As per policy at Table A (S. No. 4) of Schedule II of ITC(HS) Classification of Export & Import items, 2004-09 the export of 'Military Stores' requires a "No Objection Certificate from Department of Defence Production (MoD)" is required except in respect of goods as specified at Export Licensing Note 1 which are freely exportable.
Instances have come to notice of DGFT where export of 'Military Stores' have been allowed by Customs field formations without 'No Objection Certificate' from the Department of Defence Production.
So, now it is reiterated that no export of goods, which are apparently in the nature of 'Military Stores' may be allowed without No Objection Certificate from Department of Defence Production, by all units including EOU/EHTP/STP/BTP units.
