DGFT has amended paragraph 2 of Circular No. 94 dated 16.6.2009 which stipulates a team of officials required for physical verification of a new Import Export Code Number.
The paragraph 2 of Circular No. 94 originally read as follows:

Now, this paragraph 2 is amended as follows:
2. The physical verification shall be carried out by a team of two officials which shall be led by an officer not below the rank of FTDO. However in exceptional circumstances, and with specific orders of the HOO in RA's a two member team comprising of one FTDO/ Section Head/ LA and one UDC/ Senior LDC may carry out inspection of new IEC numbers, as required in the para (1) of the Policy Circular No. 94 dated 16.6.2009.
