Increasing accuracy of data capturing by DGCI&S
THE DGFT informs that various items have been added from time to time under Appendix 37A i.e. Vishesh Krishi and Gram Udyog Yojna (VKGUY) and Appendix 37D i.e. Focus Product Scheme (FPS) and Market Linked Focus Product Scheme (MLFPS) in the Hand Book of Procedures Vol -I.
However, the ITC (HS) codes mentioned against few items in the Appendices do not match the description against respective ITC (HS) codes in the ITC (HS) classification of export and import item book.
An effort has, therefore, been made to align the items description in the Appendices 37 A & 37 D with ITC (HS) classification of export and import items. Accordingly, draft Appendix 37 A (VKGUY) and Appendix 37 D (FPS and MLFPS) have been prepared after alignment.
The DGFT further informs that before notifying the above appendices, it has been decided to seek views of all stake holders on the draft Appendices about correctness of the ITC (HS) code and description of item.
These Draft Appendices are available on the website of DGFT www.dgft.gov.in up to 17.05.2013 and all stakeholders are requested/ encouraged to give feedback/suggestion on the above draft preferably through e-mail up to 24.00 hrs on 17.05.2013.
DDT feels that the stakeholders have been reasonably encouraged to respond.
