**Key Points / Main Content**
* **Amendment Focus:** The notification addresses the import policy for synthetic knitted fabrics under ITC (HS) Code 60053600.
* **Revised Policy Condition for ITC (HS) Code 60053600:**
* The import of synthetic knitted fabrics under this code remains restricted.
* The import is free if the CIF value is USD 3.5 or above per kilogram.
* However, fabrics falling within the 28 to 48 grams per square meter (GSM) range are exempted from the Minimum Import Price (MIP) condition.
* **Other HS Codes:** The MIP condition on other HS Codes notified under Notification No. 05/2025-26 dated April 23, 2025, remains unchanged.
* **Exemptions from MIP Condition:** Advance Authorization holders, Export Oriented Units, and units in SEZ are exempted from the MIP condition, provided the imported inputs are not sold into the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA).
**Impact Analysis**
**Importers of Synthetic Knitted Fabrics (ITC (HS) Code 60053600)**
* **Impact:** Importing fabrics within the 28-48 GSM range is now easier due to the removal of the MIP condition, while others remain restricted and subject to USD 3.5/kg MIP.
* **Action Required:** Determine the GSM of the imported fabrics to understand whether they are subject to the MIP condition.
**Advance Authorisation Holders, Export Oriented Units and Units in SEZ**
* **Impact:** Continued exemption from the MIP condition, but with the restriction of not selling the imported inputs in the Domestic Tariff Area.
* **Action Required:** Ensure compliance with the condition of not selling imported inputs in the Domestic Tariff Area.
