Standardized unit quantity codes required for exports and imports; non-standard units allowed temporarily, then disallowed. DGFT mandates standardized Unit Quantity Codes (UQCs) in its EDI and Customs' ICEGATE. No new authorizations shall use non-standard units (e.g., BoU, packs, boxes, cartons, bottles); system changes are being made. Customs will accept shipping bills against existing authorizations with non-standard units until the transition cutoff to prevent export disruption. Authorization holders must obtain conversion of non-standard units to standard units from their Regional Authority; RAs facing difficulty will consult the Norms Committee. Post-transition, imports and exports without standard UQCs will be disallowed.
