FTP Public Notice 07\/2025-26<\/a>, Dated 16-05-2025<\/em><\/p>\n

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT)<\/strong> has issued a Public Notice<\/strong> announcing an amendment to the Standard Input Output Norms (SION) A-1303<\/strong> under the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2023<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Revised Description of Export Product<\/h2>\n

The amendment updates the description of the export product covered under SION A-1303 to:<\/p>\n

\n

“Di-Octyl Phthalate (DOP) (PVC Plasticizer)”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This clarification aims to better reflect the commercial identity and end-use of the product.<\/p>\n

2. Change in Input-Output Norms<\/h2>\n

The following changes have been made to the quantity of inputs allowed per unit of the export product:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 2-Ethylhexanol (Octanol) \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The permissible import quantity has been reduced<\/strong> from 0.700 kg to 0.680 kg<\/strong> per 1 kg<\/strong> of Di-Octyl Phthalate (DOP) exported.<\/li>\n
  • Phthalic Anhydride \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0The quantity remains unchanged<\/strong> at 0.400 kg<\/strong> per kg of export product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This reduction reflects improvements in process efficiency or cost rationalisation in production norms.<\/p>\n

    3. Effective Date of Amendment<\/h2>\n

    The changes are made effective immediately<\/strong>, i.e., from May 16, 2025<\/strong>. All new or pending Advance Authorisation applications and obligations must adhere to the revised input-output norms from this date onwards.<\/p>\n

    4. Purpose of the Amendment<\/h2>\n

    The DGFT\u2019s update aims to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Enhance accuracy<\/strong> of standard norms under the FTP<\/li>\n
    • Prevent misuse<\/strong> of duty-free import allowances<\/li>\n
    • Ensure alignment<\/strong> with current manufacturing practices and input efficiencies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
