Policy Circular No.

Dated:
To
All Regional Authorities
Subject: - Issuance of Ad-Hoc Advance Authorisations
under
Attention is invited to Policy Circular
No. 20 dated 05.12.2007 and
2. Representations
have been received from Apparel Export Promotion Council that consequent to
above mentioned circular, the Garment exporters are facing difficulties due to
non-issuance of ad-hoc advance authorisation under
Para 4.7 of HBP v1 by the Regional Authorities (RAs), and adherence to SIONs even where the garment is based on a particular style
/ pattern / design and where there is stately a significant variation in the
quantity of fabric required to make the garment.
3. It
has been decided that for Readymade Garments of Textiles & Leather, where
the requirement of fabric, depending on pattern / style / design of garment, is
more than 7.5% of the existing SION (e.g. where a SION specifies 2 square
meters / piece but the requirement of fabric is more than 2.15 square meters /
piece), RAs shall consider issuance of ad-hoc Advance Authorisation
under Para 4.7 for export of readymade garments that are based on particular
styles / patterns / designs. The Norms Committee (Textiles and Leather) shall
finalize ad-hoc norms, taking into account the CAD/CAM/Lay Markers for that
particular style / design / pattern based garment and other technical inputs.
Export Product description shall contain the particular Style No. / Design No.
/ Pattern No. of the garment and Export Obligation shall be monitored
accordingly. Exporters are required to mention the Style No. / Design No. /
Pattern No. on the customs attested shipping bill / packing list for export
obligation monitoring purpose.
4. This
issues with the approval of DGFT.
