Finished leather classification and CLRI testing determine export licensing and duty applicability; appeal available within thirty days. The reply confirms prior provision of item-wise shipping bill numbers and states that items listed under the DGFT public notice constitute finished leather exportable without licence; new types require CLRI testing and certification. To prevent misclassification, consignments are sampled with CLRI, tested, and LEO issued only after NOC from CLRI or a leather expert, which negates applicability of the claimed duty. An administrative appeal may be filed within 30 days.
