Bar-coding requirement deferred for pharmaceutical export packaging, with secondary and primary packaging compliance start dates postponed. The Directorate announces deferment of mandated bar-coding for export consignments of pharmaceuticals: the trace-and-track bar-coding requirement for secondary-level packaging is postponed to a later mid-year commencement and the requirement for primary-level packaging is postponed to a subsequent start in the following year, amending earlier public notices and extending compliance time under the Foreign Trade Policy.
