Public Notice No. 07\/2026-27<\/a>, Dated 05-06-2026<\/em><\/p>\n

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has amended Para 4.12 (vi) of HBP-2023<\/strong> relating to the validity and usage of norms ratified by the Norms Committee<\/strong> for Advance Authorisations issued under Para 4.07<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1. Extended Validity of Ratified Norms<\/span><\/h2>\n

The amended provision states that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Norms ratified on or after 01-04-2015<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Shall remain valid up to 31-03-2028<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    2. Repeat Usage by Other Applicants<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Such ratified norms may now:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Be used by other applicants<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • For obtaining Advance Authorisations on a repeat basis during the validity period<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      3. Exceptions to Applicability<\/span><\/h2>\n

      The amended provision shall not apply<\/strong> to:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Authorisations involving items listed under Appendix 4P<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Ad-hoc norms where the Norms Committee has expressly restricted applicability<\/strong> for other applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        4. Objective of the Amendment<\/span><\/h2>\n

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

          \n
        • Reduce repeated references to the Norms Committee<\/strong><\/li>\n
        • Promote uniformity and faster processing of applications<\/li>\n
        • Enhance ease of doing business under the Advance Authorisation Scheme<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

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

          The amendment provides greater operational certainty and efficiency by extending the validity of ratified norms and permitting their wider reuse, while retaining safeguards for sensitive or restricted categories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
