Note 1 : This norm is applicable for export product
manufactured adopting Electric Arc
Furnace/ Electric Induction Furnace using Non-alloy Steel Melting
Scrap as the basic input with Sponge Iron/HBI and Pig iron as partial
substitutes.
Note 2 : The total
quantity of items allowed against Sl.No. 1(a) shall be limited to 1115
Kg. minus the quantity of ferro alloys/ metals/ compounds allowed against Sl.No.2. Further, individual quantity of Pig Iron
and Sponge Iron/ HBI allowed
against Sl. No. 1(a) shall not exceed
20% and 65% respectively of the total quantity of items to be permitted
therein in line with Note 1 above.
Note 3: Quantities of Ferro
Alloys/Metals/Compounds have been worked out based on a specified percentage of
alloying element in the Ferro Alloys/Metals/Compounds as indicated therein
within the parenthesis against each alloy. If the percentage of alloying
element in the ferro-alloy is higher/ lower, the revised (i.e lower / higher)
quantity may be worked out on pro-rata basis as under:
Quantity permitted in norm x % of element in
ferroalloy/metal/compound as per the norm
Actual
% of element in the imported
ferroalloy/metal/compound
Note 4 : For a given alloying element
in steel, wherever two alternate
ferroalloy / metals /compound of the same alloying element have been
permitted and it is proposed to import a combination of both, individual quantities of each ferro-alloy may
be worked out based on the specified (part) quantities of the alloying element
in two forms (but within the overall quantity of alloying element in the steel), using the content based
formula given therein.
Note 5: Alloying element(s) in steel is/are prescribed by specifying the minimum value or a range or
the maximum value. For calculating the quantities of ferro alloys/ metals/
compounds as per the content based formula given in the SION, the prescribed
minimum or the mid value of the range or 0.8 times the maximum value of the
respective alloying element(s) in the export product shall be taken into
consideration.
Note 6: In case import of alloy steel
melting scrap of known chemical composition is resorted to, quantity of
respective ferroalloy/metal/compound to be allowed will reduce to account for
the recoverable alloying element (s) (Nickel, Copper, Chromium, Molybdenum and
Manganese) in the scrap. The reduced quantity of each ferroalloy/metal shall be
obtained by deducting the equivalent quantity of ferroalloy/metal to be
obtained using the following formula from the total quantity as per SION read
with Note 3:
Alloy
Steel Scrap Quantity (kg) x % of relevant element in scrap
1.115
x % of relevant element in ferroalloy / metal / compound
Ferro
alloys/metals/compounds of elements other than that of Nickel, Copper, Chromium
& Manganese shall be allowed as per the content base formula given therein
without any reduction.
Note 7: The specified quantities of energy sources/ fuel for electric power generation(in K.Cal) against import item 4(a) & 4(c) which correspond to electric power consumption of 500 and 100 KWH per tonne of export product have been allowed assuming
