Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Executive Summary: This public notice, issued by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade on February 16, 2018, outlines directives for processing Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS) claims under the Foreign Trade Policy 2015-2020. It aims to improve ease of doing business by simplifying procedures, increasing transparency, and reducing delays. The directives are effective immediately for all pending MEIS claim applications as of the issue date. Key Points / Main Content: Processing MEIS Claims: * For most notified ITC HS codes in Table 2 of Appendix 3B of Handbook of Procedures (HBP), Regional Authorities (RAs) will process MEIS claims based solely on the ITC HS code specified in the shipping bill. * For ITC HS codes listed in the Annexure of the public notice, RAs will continue to process MEIS claims by matching the description in the shipping bill with the Export Product Description in Table 2 of Appendix 3B of HBP. * The list of ITC HS codes in the Annexure is subject to change periodically. Applicability: * The directives apply to all MEIS claim applications not finalized as of February 16, 2018. Finalized applications are those where the scrip has been granted or the claim has been rejected by DGFT HQs or RAs. * Already decided cases will not be reassessed based on these directives. Impact Analysis: Regional Authorities (RAs): * Impact: Must adhere to the new directives for processing MEIS claims, distinguishing between ITC HS codes that require description matching and those that do not. * Action Required: Implement the new processing guidelines immediately for all pending MEIS claim applications and stay updated on any changes to the Annexure list of ITC HS codes. Exporters: * Impact: Experience a more streamlined and transparent process for MEIS claim applications, potentially reducing delays. * Action Required: Ensure accurate ITC HS code and product descriptions are provided in shipping bills and be aware of the revised processing procedures.
