Key Changes

Domestic sourcing of wheat is not allowed, and the invalidation letter/ARO facility is not available. Third-party exports are also not permitted. Import and export are restricted to EDI-enabled ports.
  • The Export Obligation Period (EOP) for Advance Authorizations for wheat is 180 days from the date of clearance of each import consignment, with no extension permitted.
  • Imported wheat is subject to actual user condition, and transfer of imported wheat is not allowed.
  • In case of non-fulfillment of EO or non-achievement of stipulated value addition, a penalty equal to five times the CIF value of the imported material corresponding to the shortfall in EO will be imposed, in addition to applicable duty and interest. Paragraph 4.49 of the Handbook of Procedures will not be applicable.
