Transitional arrangements for restricted imports remain applicable, allowing prior shipments to be processed under existing FTP provisions. Transitional arrangements under the Foreign Trade Policy continue to apply to items restricted by the Notifications, permitting affected consignments to be processed under the existing transitional mechanism. Shipments made prior to the issuance of the restriction notifications may be allowed entry consistent with the Handbook provision permitting clearance of pre-notification shipments, and Licensing Authorities and Customs Commissioners should continue processing such cases accordingly.
