DGFT amends the Export Policy of Food Supplements containing Botanicals

DGFT announces an amendment in the Export Policy of Food Supplement containing Botanicals.
The ITC HS Codes 1302 and 2106 have been amended containing (Vegetable Saps and extracts; Pectic substances, Pectinates and Pectates; Agar-agar and other Mucilages and other thickeners, whether or not modified, derived from vegetable products) and (Food Preparations not elsewhere specified or included) respectively. The policy is amended from “FREE” to “EXPORT through certificate from EIC & EIAs.” The policy condition clearly specifies that: “The export of Food Supplements containing botanicals to European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) which are originated in or consigned from India and are intended for human or animal consumption, then these types of supplements need an issuance of the official certificate issued by Export Inspection Council (EIC) or Export Inspection Agencies (EIAs). The official certificate is to be issued based on the satisfactory analytical test report from the EIC or EIC approved laboratories as per the requirement laid down by European Union.”
DGFT revises the current policy conditions by introducing an amendment where the SHEFEXIL is also allowed to issue the official certificate for export for a period of three months from the date of issuance of this notification. The official certificate can be issued either by Export Inspection Council (EIC) / Export Inspection Agencies (EIAs) or SHEFEXIL.
