Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This public notice from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade introduces paragraphs 2.79A and 2.79B into the Handbook of Procedure 2015-2020, concerning SCOMET export permissions. It outlines new procedures for stock and sale exports and spare parts, aiming to streamline the export process. The notice is effective from February 3, 2016. Key Points / Main Content: Stock and Sale Export Permissions (Para 2.79A): * Evaluation: Applications for SCOMET items for stock sale will be evaluated by the Inter-Ministerial Working Group (IMWG). * Eligibility: Export is permitted from the principal company/wholly-owned Indian subsidiary to their foreign subsidiaries/principal company/warehouse. * End-User Certificate (EUC): Requires an EUC for stock sale purposes. * Further Transfer: For transfers within the same country, the stock sale entity must obtain EUCs from each link in the supply chain and forward them to the Indian applicant/licensee for submission to the DGFT for prior permission. * Exemption: IMWG may waive the prior permission requirement based on risk assessment for sales/transfers within the same country. * Retransfer: For re-transfer outside the country, the stockist must forward EUCs from all links in the supply chain to the Indian applicant/licensee for submission to the DGFT and prior permission. Spare Parts Export Permissions (Para 2.79B): * Consideration: The IMWG may consider export permission for spare parts covered under SCOMET along with the application for the main item/equipment. * Application: Applicants seeking spare parts export permission should indicate the requirement in the main equipment application with proper justification. Effect of the Public Notice: * Bulk Export: Facilitates bulk export for multiple end-users from the stock point, subject to licensing authority permission for re-transfer to a definite end-user. * Streamlined Process: Eliminates the need for separate applications for spare parts when applying for the main equipment. * Reduced Costs: Aims to reduce transaction time and costs. Impact Analysis: Applicant/Licensee: * Impact: New procedures for obtaining export permissions for stock and sale, and spare parts. * Action Required: Follow the new guidelines for EUC submission, justification of spare parts requirements, and application processes. Inter-Ministerial Working Group (IMWG): * Impact: Responsible for evaluating applications under the new guidelines. * Action Required: Evaluate applications based on the conditions outlined in the notice, including security and risk assessments. Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT): * Impact: Authority for granting export licenses and permissions. * Action Required: Implement the new procedures for stock and sale, and spare parts export permissions. Stockist Entity: * Impact: Responsible for obtaining End User Certificates for any further transfer of items. * Action Required: Collect EUCs from each link in the supply chain and forward them to the Indian applicant/licensee for submission to the DGFT.

No. 01/91/162/40/AM 12/EC(S)/1469.—In exercise of the powers conferred under Paragraph 1.03 of the Foreign Trade Policy, 2015-20, the Director General of Foreign Trade, hereby, incorporates para 2.79A and para 2.79B in Handbook of Procedure 2015-2020 as under: 2. 2.79A. Export permission for “Stock and Sale” Applications for grant of authorization for export of SCOMET items shall be evaluated/considered by IMWG for ‘stock & sale’ purpose subject to the following conditions: i. Export shall be permitted only from the principal company/the wholly owned subsidiary in India to their subsidiaries/principal company/warehouse abroad on the basis of an EUC from the latter for ‘stock & sale’ purposes, when considered appropriate from the point of view of security and other critical consideration. ii. (a) For any further transfer of these items by the ‘stock & sale’ entity (to whom the items are originally exported by Indian principal/wholly owned subsidiary) to entity (ies), including end users, in the same country, the former shall obtain the EUC from each link in the supply chain and forward the same to the Indian applicant/licensee for the purpose of submission to licensing authority, i.e. DGFT for seeking prior permission for such transfer. The IMWG may, however, relax this requirement of prior permission based on a Risk Assessment for such within same country sale/transfer. (b) In case of retransfer by the stockist entity to entity (ies) outside its country, the stockist entity shall forward to the Indian applicant/licensee the EUCs from all links in chain of supply for the purpose of submission to licensing authority i.e. DGFT for seeking prior permission for such transfer.¹Hkkx Iµ[k.M 1º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 3 3. 2.79B Export permission for Spare Parts for SCOMET At the request of the applicant, export permission for spare parts covered under SCOMET may be considered by IMWG along with the application for the main item/equipment. Accordingly, the applicant seeking permission for export of spares may indicate the requirement of spares in the application for main equipment after judicious and reasonable assessment thereof, and provide the justification for the same. 4. Effect of this Public Notice: i. The provision of SCOMET export permission for ‘stock & sale’ purposes will facilitate bulk export which may cater to orders of multiple end users from the ‘stock point’ subject to subsequent permission of the licensing authority for re-transfer to definite end user. ii. The facility for permission for export of spare parts along with the main equipment will obviate the need for seeking permission for spares through a separate application. iii. Both the measures will have the effect of reducing the transaction time and cost.
