Import Authorization for Import of Rough Marble to be Registered at Specified Port – DGFT Amends HBP Vol.1
THE DGFT has amended Paragraph 2.37 A of the Handbook of Procedures (Vol.1) for 2009-2014 as follows:-
“Import authorizations for a restricted item, if so directed by the competent authority, shall be issued for import through one of the sea ports or air ports or ICDs or LCS, as per the option indicated, in writing, by the applicant. However, for import of rough marble, port of registration is mandatory and the applicant must indicate the same in the application itself. Authorization holder shall register the import authorisation at the port specified in the Authorization and thereafter all imports against said authorization shall be made only through that port, unless the authorization holder obtains permission from customs authority concerned to import through any other specified port .”
Further a new entry 7C is added in ANF 2B (related to Application form for import of restricted items) after the entry 7B as follows:
" 7C Port of Registration (As per para 2.37A of HBP Vol. 1)”
