Professional equipment import rules: DFCEC permits only service necessary professional and office equipment; capital goods must use EPCG route. DFCEC permits import of spares, office equipment, furniture, professional equipment and consumables to enhance service capability; only professional equipment required for rendering services and earning free foreign exchange is allowable under DFCEC. Import of other capital goods is not permitted under DFCEC and must be pursued through the EPCG route. A corrigendum replaces 'capital goods' with 'professional equipment' in the customs condition, and customs formations are to issue guidance to trade and field officers.
