Executive Summary:
This public notice amends the Handbook of Procedures of the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) 2015-20 by including paragraph 2.79F. The amendment establishes a procedure for Global Authorisation for Intra-Company Transfer (GAICT) of Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment, and Technologies (SCOMET) items, software, and technology. It defines eligibility, application, and post-reporting requirements for Indian subsidiaries re-exporting specific SCOMET items to foreign parent companies or their subsidiaries. The notice took immediate effect on July 24, 2019.
Key Points / Main Content:
* **Scope and Eligibility for GAICT:**
* Pre-export authorization is waived for re-export of imported SCOMET items (excluding specific categories) under certain conditions.
* Re-export must be an intra-company transfer from an Indian subsidiary to its foreign parent company and/or the parent's subsidiaries.
* The transfer must meet specific conditions, including that the items were imported under a license exception, are based on a master service agreement, and are re-exported to the foreign parent company or its subsidiaries.
* The applicant exporter must declare the re-exported items will be used for the original intended purposes.
* The exporter must furnish a certified/approved Internal Compliance Programme (ICP) or demonstrate compliance with the parent company's ICP.
* The exporter must allow on-site inspection if required.
* **GAICT Application and Assessment Procedure:**
* Indian exporters must apply for GAICT through the online SCOMET portal, attaching required information.
* The Inter-Ministerial Working Group (IMWG) will assess the application based on submitted documents.
* Required documents include proof of corporate relationship, Master Service Agreement (MSA), SCOMET classification, detailed item description, documentary proof of license exception, and ICP details.
* **Post-Reporting Requirements:**
* Indian exporters must submit post-shipment details of each transfer/consignment of SCOMET items under GAICT to the SCOMET Division of DGFT quarterly.
* Post-shipment details must be submitted in a specified proforma (ANF 2Oc) with a copy of the End Use Certificate (EUC).
* Failure to report may result in penalties or GAICT suspension/revocation.
* **General Conditions and Validity:**
* GAICT will not be issued for items intended for use in chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons, or missiles.
* GAICT will not be issued for countries/entities under UNSC embargo or with proliferation concerns.
* The IMWG reserves the right to deny GAICT without assigning reasons.
* GAICT is valid for three years from the date of issue, subject to the validity of the foreign parent company's license exception or the MSA.
* GAICT cannot be revalidated.
* **Suspension/Revocation:**
* GAICT may be suspended or revoked for adverse reports on proliferation concerns, non-submission of mandatory reports, or non-compliance with the public notice.
Impact Analysis:
Indian Subsidiary Exporters:
* Impact: Can re-export specific SCOMET items to parent companies/subsidiaries without pre-export authorization, provided they meet specific eligibility criteria and compliance requirements.
* Action Required: Implement/maintain compliant ICP, prepare and submit accurate applications with supporting documentation, adhere to post-reporting requirements, and allow on-site inspections if required.
Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT):
* Impact: Responsible for implementing and overseeing the GAICT process, including assessment of applications, conducting inspections, and managing post-reporting data.
* Action Required: Establish online portal for GAICT applications, develop assessment procedures, conduct inspections as necessary, and monitor post-shipment reports.
Inter-Ministerial Working Group (IMWG):
* Impact: Responsible for assessing GAICT applications and making decisions on whether to grant authorization.
* Action Required: Review applications, assess supporting documents, and make informed decisions on GAICT issuance.
Foreign Parent Companies and Their Subsidiaries:
* Impact: Can receive re-exported SCOMET items from Indian subsidiaries without requiring the Indian subsidiary to obtain pre-export authorization, provided the items are used for the originally intended purpose.
* Action Required: Ensure that re-exports are in compliance with export control regulations of the foreign parent company or its subsidiary, and provide EUC copy to the Indian subsidiary for post-shipment reporting.
