Ease of Doing Business for exporters in filing DFIA

New Delhi, June 21 (KNN) Taking a step towards ease of doing  business for exporters in the country, exporters have been enabled to file single Duty Free Import Authorization (DFIA) application for exports made from any EDI port and separate applications for export made from each non-EDI port.

DFIA scheme is in existence from 1st May, 2006. A Duty Free Import Authorisation is issued to allow duty free import of inputs which are used in the manufacture of the export product (making normal allowance for wastage) and fuel, energy, catalyst etc. which are consumed or utilised in the course of their use to obtain the export product.

In a notification, Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) said, “Paragraph 4.29 (vi) and Para 4.29(vii) of Foreign Trade Policy 2015-20 is replaced enabling exporters to file single DFIA application for exports made from any EDI port and separate applications for export made from each non-EDI port.”

Now after the amendment, separate DFIA shall be issued for each SION.

Also, export under DFIA shall be made from any port listed in Para 4.37 of Handbook of Procedures. However, separate application shall be made for EDI and non-EDI ports. In case export is made from a non-EDI port, separate application shall be made for each non-EDI port. (KNN Bureau)
