Advance Authorization conditions tightened for wheat flour exports, imposing pre import requirement, restricted sourcing, port and transfer limitations. Advance Authorizations for wheat flour (Atta) under SION E-136 will be issued only to flour millers or exporters tied to flour millers as supporting manufacturers; exports are allowed subject to the pre import condition of wheat under the notified SION, with domestic sourcing, invalidation letters/ARO facility, and third party exports prohibited. Imports/exports must use EDI enabled ports; imported wheat is for actual user use only with no transfer permitted; a fixed Export Obligation period applies with no extension, and failure to meet export obligation or value addition targets attracts a penalty equal to five times the CIF value of the shortfall plus duty and interest, with Paragraph 4.49 inapplicable.
