FTP - Prohibition on import of milk and milk products from China

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 was imposed vide Notification No. 46(RE-2008)/2004-2009 dated 24th September, 2008, Notification No. 67(RE-2008)/2004-2009 dated 1st December, 2008 and Notification No. 16/2004-2009 dated 3.1.2011 and extended from time to time. The latest extension was notified on 18.06.2013 by Notification No. 23 (RE-2013)/2009-2014, by which the prohibition was extended till 23.6.2014.

The DGFT acted just in time (unlike CBEC extending ADD Notifications) and extended its validity for one more year.

This prohibition is now extended till 23.6.2015 or until further orders whichever is earlier.
