Registering Authority for EOU/SEZ Units in respect import/export of spices
As per para 2.44 of FTP, 2004-09, any person applying for
(i) a licence/certificate/permission to import/export, or
(ii) any other benefit or concession under the policy
is required to furnish Registration-cum-Membership certificate (RCMC) granted by the competent authority. Further, as per sub-paragraph 6.34(14) and para 7.32.2 of Hand-Book of Procedures (Vol.1),the concerned Development Commissioner of the EOU/SEZ unit will function as a registering authority and a separate Registration-cum-Membership certificate is not required.
Now the DGFT has decided that in case of spices, it would be mandatory for the EOU/SEZ units to get themselves registered with the Spices Board. This will also be applicable to existing units in EOU/SEZ engaged in import/export of spices. DGFT wants this requirement to be strictly complied with.
