Advance licence conditions: exporters must exclude specified agricultural items and obtain biotechnology NOC before licence issuance. Advance licences may be issued on self-declaration subject to exclusions: imports of animal organs, pepper and specified agricultural categories (edible oils, oilseeds, cereals, certain high-duty spices, and certain high-duty fruits/vegetables) are barred from the self-declaration route. Perfumes, perfumery compounds and feed ingredients with vitamins must be processed under the alternate procedural route pending Advance Licensing Committee approval. Biotechnology-related exports or imports require a Department of Biotechnology No Objection Certificate before an Advance licence will be issued. Applicants must submit the prescribed declaration/undertaking identifying applicable exclusions or requirements.
