Public Notice No. 54\/2025-26<\/a>, Dated 30-03-2026<\/p>\n

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued a public notice under Chapter 4 of HBP 2023<\/strong>, introducing one-time relaxation measures<\/strong> for the Gem & Jewellery sector to address disruptions arising from prevailing global conditions.<\/p>\n

1. Automatic Extension of Timelines<\/span><\/h2>\n

The notice provides that where the timelines for:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Re-export<\/li>\n
  • Export<\/li>\n
  • Re-import<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    are expiring between 01-03-2026 and 31-05-2026<\/strong>, such periods shall automatically stand extended by 30 days<\/strong> from their respective date of expiry.<\/p>\n

    2. Applicability Across HBP Provisions<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The relaxation has been incorporated across specified paragraphs of HBP 2023<\/strong>, ensuring uniform applicability across relevant procedures governing the sector.<\/p>\n

    3. No Procedural Formalities Required<\/span><\/h2>\n

    A key feature of this relaxation is that it:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Operates automatically<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Does not require any application, fee, amendment, or endorsement<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Reduces compliance burden and administrative delays<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      4. Role of Customs Authorities<\/span><\/h2>\n

      Customs Authorities are directed to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Permit export or import<\/strong> based on the extended timelines<\/li>\n
      • Conduct verification of relevant details<\/strong> where required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        This ensures smooth implementation at the operational level.<\/p>\n

        5. Objective of the Relaxation<\/span><\/h2>\n

        The measure aims to:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Support exporters facing global trade disruptions<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Provide operational flexibility<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Ensure continuity in trade flows<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          6. Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n

          The DGFT\u2019s one-time relaxation offers timely and practical relief<\/strong> to the Gem & Jewellery sector by extending critical timelines without procedural hurdles, thereby facilitating smoother trade operations.<\/p>\n

          7. Note on Adjudication Context<\/span><\/h2>\n

          Separately, it is noted that in certain cases, show-cause notices have been issued<\/strong>, and adjudication has resulted in confirmation of duty demands on multiple consignments<\/strong>, including past clearances.
          These actions have primarily been based on:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • Country-of-origin certificates<\/li>\n
          • Perceived similarity with tested consignments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            This highlights the continued importance of accurate documentation and compliance<\/strong> in customs matters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
