Extension of validity of Pre-Shipment Inspection Agency (PSIAs)

Extension of PSIA recognition validity to a later date under Foreign Trade Policy provisions notification.

The public notice administratively extends the recognition validity of Pre Shipment Inspection Agencies listed in the A&ANF appendix by moving their original three year expiry from an early December date to a later date at the end of December, invoking powers under the Foreign Trade Policy and a relaxation of the Handbook of Procedures; the extension preserves existing recognition status for the intervening period without altering substantive recognition criteria.
