Exports - edible oil in small consumer packs and fish oil
The export of edible oils is permitted in branded consumer packs of up to 5 Kgs, subject to a limit of 10,000 tons during the next one year up to 31st October, 2009: Such exports shall be allowed only from Customs EDI Ports.
Export of fish oil shall be allowed freely.
To monitor the quantity of edible oil exported in branded consumer packs of up to 5 Kgs and to ensure that the ceiling of 10,000 tons is not exceeded, a weekly report shall be sent to Office of DGFT by Joint Secretary, Customs (Central Board of Excise and Customs) and DGCI&S, Kolkata. The weekly report shall contain the quantity (in Kgs. as unit of measurement) and value (in Rupees) of edible oil exported (in branded consumer packs up to 5 kgs.) along with ITC (HS) Codes.
Now who is this Joint Secretary, Customs in the CBEC and what will the DGFT do if he does not send that weekly report? As such Revenue has scant respect for Commerce and now if the Commerce Department says, the JS, Customs SHALL send a report, will it ever be obeyed?
