Advance Authorisation for gold imports now carries inspection, export obligation, and reporting conditions under revised SION notes. Conditions were inserted under SIONs M-1 to M-8 for the Gems and Jewellery product group governing Advance Authorisation for import of gold. The notes prescribe a maximum permissible import quantity of 100 kilograms, mandatory physical inspection for first-time applicants, consideration of subsequent authorisations only after fulfilment of at least 50% of the export obligation, and fortnightly as well as monthly reporting requirements for compliance monitoring and centralised oversight.
