Export Policy of Raw Human Hair Now Prohibited, with Exceptions for High-Value Shipments

The Central Government has recently updated the export policy of raw human hair in line with the powers conferred by the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992, and the Foreign Trade Policy 2023. These amendments aim to enhance the regulation and monitoring of raw human hair exports, ensuring smoother trade operations.
Key Points:
- The changes are made under Section 3 and Section 5 of the Foreign Trade Act, along with Para 1.02 and 2.01 of the 2023 policy.
- The adjustments will impact the export framework for raw human hair, improving compliance and transparency.
These updates reflect the government’s ongoing efforts to streamline foreign trade and foster a more efficient and regulated export environment.
