“Import, auction/sale and re-export of rough diamonds by entities, as notified vide RBI Notification 116 of April 1, 2014, as amended from time to time, on consignment or outright basis, will be permitted in SNZ administered by the operator of SNZ, under supervision of Customs,” DGFT said in a notification.
The procedure of import, auction/ sale and re-export of rough diamonds (unsold) would be as specified by CBEC, it added.
The DGFT has made necessary amendments in the Foreign Trade Policy (FTP) allowing the import, auction, sale and re-export of rough diamonds from the SNZ to be set up at Mumbai's Bharat Diamond Bourse (BDB) at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).
Earlier, the import on consignment basis was not allowed under the FTP. (KNN Bureau)
