DGFT Eases Export Rules for Pharma Grade Sugar – Key Changes in ANF-2N Form

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has announced important changes in the application process for exporting Pharma Grade Sugar under the Foreign Trade Policy 2023.

Key Updates in ANF-2N Form:

1. Optional Shipment & Buyer Details:

Exporters are no longer required to mandatorily fill in the ‘Shipment Details’ and ‘Foreign Buyer/Consignee Details’ while applying. These fields can now be marked as “any buyer / any port of discharge”.

2. Amendment Allowed Before Export:

Exporters can update buyer-wise details once the export order is confirmed, but this must be done before the actual export takes place.

These changes aim to simplify and speed up the export authorization process for Pharma Grade Sugar.

Effect of the Public Notice: The columns related to ‘Shipment Details’ and ‘Foreign Buyer/ Consignee Details’ of ANF-2N have been made ‘optional’ at the time of application for export authorisation for Pharma Grade Sugar.
