Fish Body Oil Import made Free

By Vijay Kumar

THE Government has made the import of Fish Body Oil (Refined) with certain parameters ‘Free' as per the FTP – earlier only Fish Lipid Oil was freely importable and Fish Body Oil was prohibited. However, through this latest amendment, the entry related to Fish Body Oil is now sub-classified into two – Fish Body Oil (Refined) and Fish Body Oil (Crude). While import of Fish Body Oil (Refined) is now made ‘Free', Fish Body Oil (Crude) which was earlier prohibited is now made restricted.
