Clarification on applicability of Narcotics Drug and Psychotropic Substances Act – Out of India?
Clarifications have been sought on the applicability of Narcotics Drug and Psychotropic Substances Act in SEZs .
The Department of Commerce has clarified that:-
“Export from India” means to take out to a place outside India and “to import to India” means to bring into India from a place outside India. The DTA and SEZ both being in India itself, export authorization and import authorization from Central Bureau of Narcotics is required only for movement of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) goods from SEZ to out of India, from out of India into SEZ and for sale in DTA .
Will this have any effect on the export duty on goods cleared to SEZ ?
