Alternative Inputs for Silk Allowed by Amending SION
DGFT has made an amendment to the statement of Standard Input Output Norms (SION), as contained in the HBP, Vol. II, 2009-2014 as follows:
“In the General Note No. 4 for Textiles (Product Code: J) the following is incorporated for allowing flexibility for import of any alternative import items of Silk from the permissible inputs of SION:-
S.No | Export Product | Alternative inputs allowed |
|---|---|---|
1 | Made out of Mulberry Raw Silk | Dupion Silk/Tussar Silk/Spun Silk/Noil Silk |
2 | Made out of Dupion Silk | Tussar Silk/Spun Silk/Noil Silk |
3 | Made out of Tussar Silk/ Spun Silk | Spun Silk/Noil Silk |
In case the export product is made out of more than one variety of Silk then, the alternate inputs will be allowed (as in table above) in proportion to the ratio of constituents of Silk or in proportion to the ratio of Spun Silk blended with other fibres like Cotton/Viscose etc.
