The Government has issued Notification No.2 (RE-2005) dated 13th May, 2005 amending sub-para 6.8(a) and 6.8(h) of the Foreign Trade Policy. As a consequence, Export Oriented Units (EOUs) will not be allowed to sell pepper and pepper products either at concessional rate of duty or on payment of full duty in the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA). This has been done in order to impose some discipline on the Export Oriented Units from bringing in pepper duty-free and offloading it into the DTA, thereby depressing prices to the detriment of pepper growers in the country. The move is aimed at safeguarding the interests of domestic pepper growers.
The Notification No.2 (RE-2005) dated 13th May, 2005 is available on the DGFT website http://www.nic.in/eximpol .
