Foreign Trade Policy interpretation issues must follow the prescribed channel, with no direct DGFT references and expedited clearance encouraged. Uniform handling of interpretational issues under the Foreign Trade Policy is to follow a prescribed internal channel, and officers are not to make direct references to DGFT authorities for clarification. Issues arising during assessment, examination or clearance must first be examined at the Group or Section level, escalated through the Deputy or Assistant Commissioner, and forwarded for policy-level clarification only after due examination through the prescribed CBIC route, with commodity-specific matters referred only after NAC examination where applicable.
