Export authorization for SCOMET items allows repair or replacement exports subject to documentation and IMWG approval. Authorization framework permits export of SCOMET items for repair or replacement either to the original foreign supplier/OEM or, for indigenous items, back to the original ultimate end user. No End Use details or End Use Certificate are required. Applications must include proof of import/export, contractual obligation for repair/replacement, and an undertaking specifying SCOMET category, unchanged specifications, permitted repair/replacement under original terms, and arrangements to return or evidence destruction of defective items. Chairman IMWG considers and may approve applications, with subsequent ex post facto confirmation by IMWG.
