FTP - Export of Gaur Gum to EU - Restriction withdrawn

BY Notification No. of 18.05.2011, DGFT had stipulated that export of Gaur gum to European Union, would be allowed only if it was certified that the product does not contain Penta Chlorophenol (PCP) in any proportion on sampling done by the authorized representative of the competent authority.

Now the Notification No. 47 dated 18.05.2011, is rescinded with immediate effect. Thus, the earlier stipulation of Notification No. 50 of 06.07.2010 of allowing presence of upto 0.01 mg/Kg. of Penta Chlorophenol (PCP) in the consignments of Guar gum when exported to EU will continue to be valid.

Why had the notification to be withdrawn within 8 days of its issue?

Notification No. , Dated: May 26, 2011
