Executive Summary:
This notification from the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution clarifies the eligibility criteria for sugar mills exporting refined sugar under the Scheme for defraying expenditure towards internal transport, freight, handling and other charges on export during the sugar season 2018-19. It specifies the conditions under which sugar mills exporting refined sugar are considered to have exported domestically manufactured sugar and are thus eligible for assistance under the scheme. The notification was issued on December 26, 2018.
Key Points / Main Content:
Eligibility for Export Assistance:
* Sugar mills exporting refined sugar through refineries via value addition to raw sugar are considered to have exported domestically manufactured sugar.
* This applies to raw sugar obtained from domestic manufacturers by invalidating licenses under the Advanced Authorization Scheme (AAS) or raw white sugar through Open General License (OGL).
Responsibilities and Agreements:
* The original raw white sugar manufacturer or MIEQ holder (if a third party) is deemed to have fulfilled export obligations under MIEQ.
* Raw white sugar manufacturers, MIEQ holders (if different from the sugar manufacturer), and the sugar refinery must enter into bipartite/tripartite agreements.
* The refinery must submit an undertaking on non-judicial stamp paper.
* The undertaking must declare that the refined sugar was exported using raw white sugar from domestic sugar mills, clearly indicating the names of the sugar mills and MIEQ holders.
* The names of raw white sugar manufacturers/MIEQ holders must be indicated in the shipping bills for exported refined sugar.
Impact Analysis:
Sugar Mills:
Impact: Sugar mills that export refined sugar through a refinery by value addition to raw sugar (obtained under AAS or OGL) can be considered as exporting domestically manufactured sugar, improving their eligibility for assistance.
Action Required: Enter into bipartite/tripartite agreements with raw white sugar manufacturers/MIEQ holders and refineries, ensure proper documentation in shipping bills.
Sugar Refineries:
Impact: Refineries involved in refining raw sugar for export need to ensure proper sourcing from domestic sugar mills and compliance with documentation requirements.
Action Required: Submit an undertaking on non-judicial stamp paper declaring the source of raw white sugar, and ensure the names of the sugar mills/MIEQ holders are included in shipping bills.
Raw White Sugar Manufacturers/MIEQ Holders:
Impact: These entities may be entitled to certain benefits.
Action Required: Enter into bipartite/tripartite agreements with sugar refineries, and ensure their names are accurately reflected in shipping bills.
