Import of Restricted Items under Advance Authorization Clarified
After examining representations received from Trade and Industry that certain field formations of DGFT and Customs are not allowing import of restricted items against Advance Authorisations, DGFT clarifies that restricted items (unless otherwise specifically mentioned) are allowed to be imported under Advance Authorization Schemes as the said inputs always remain under actual user condition even after completion of export obligation.
