Export warehousing eligibility: Star Export House status and specified entities may use warehousing for export consignments. The circular revises the class of exporters eligible for the export warehousing facility, specifying that exporters granted Star Export House status and above, foreign departmental stores of repute, and automobile manufacturers with a Memorandum of Understanding with the trade authority are entitled to avail warehousing for excisable goods for export, thereby aligning Central Excise instructions with the Foreign Trade Policy nomenclature.
