Import policy of arms and ammunition for Specified Sportspersons / Sport Bodies
IMPORT Licensing Note (1) in Chapter 93 of ITC (HS) Classifications of Export and Import Items is amended by the DGFT. As per the latest amendment, the procedure for issue of import license/authorization for import of arms & ammunition by specified sports persons/sports bodies has been dispensed with. NRAI, SAI and SSCB can freely import arms and ammunition for their own use or their affiliates. Renowned Shooter can freely import arms and ammunition for their own use. Import Policy Regime for ‘Air Gun Pellets' continues to be ‘free'. This notification does not exempt the specified sports persons/sports bodies from the Arms Act, 1959 or Rules thereunder; but merely makes amendments in the Import Policy regime for the specified categories of importers.
