FTP - export of articles of apparel - Special Advance Authorization Scheme

DGFT has explained the procedure in respect of the Special Advance Authorization Scheme that is effective from today:

Applications for grant of Special Advance Authorisation Scheme for export of Articles of Apparel and Clothing Accessories can be filed online through DGFT website. Procedure for filing application online for this authorisation is similar to filing of application for the regular Advance Authorisation. The normal Advance Authorisation Scheme which is in operation is still available for exporters. It is for the exporters to choose any scheme of their choice.

DGFT EDI system is designed to calculate value addition automatically based on FOB value of exports, CIF value of imports. Value of any other input used on which benefit of All Industry rate of Duty Drawback is claimed or intended to be claimed shall be equal to 22% of the FOB value of export realised and this value is factored in EDI system while calculating value addition.
