Prohibition on import of milk and milk products from China - extended - Resurrection - DGFT Follows CBEC

THE prohibition on import of milk and milk products including chocolates and chocolate products and candies/confectionary/food preparations with milk or milk solids as an ingredient, from China, imposed vide Notification No. 67(RE-2008)/2004-2009 dated 1st December, 2008 and extended vide Notification No. 49/2009-2014 dated 24th June, 2010, for a period of one year from 24th December, 2010 and until further orders.

The earlier extension was up to 23 December 2010. Now DGFT also seems to have learnt from CBEC and has resorted to resurrection. A prohibition that expired on 23 December 2010, is extended on 3 January 2011 but with effect from December 24, 2010.

Notification No. 16/(RE – 2010)/2009-2014, Dated: January 3, 2011
