Surrender of Special Import License required for imports under SIL; consignments shipped before the Handbook cut-off are exempt. Surrender of a Special Import License equivalent to three times the c.i.f. value is required for imports under SIL, but that surrender requirement does not apply to consignments shipped or despatched before the Handbook cut-off (para 15.14, Vol. I), which are exempt from the three-times surrender provision.
