Import of Air Conditioner without ODS gases - DGFT asks customs to allow clearance

Several representations have been received by DGFT that Customs is not allowing clearance even of Air Conditioners which do not contain ODS gases. So the DGFT clarifies that the policy of Air conditioners containing HCFC - 22 only is under review. Air Conditioners which do not contain ODS substances will be allowed to be imported freely both under EPCG Scheme and under normal imports.
