Import benefits under DFIA for Bhutan Export

[BRIJMOHAN GOYAL]

Sir,

Request to clarify:

(1) For supply to Bhutan is considered as Export Order  and under Physical Export.

(2) For Export Order to Bhutan, Imports of Raw material and components are allowed under Advance Authorisation (Licence)from DGFT  with NIL custom duty .

(3) For Export Obligation (EODC), Bill of Export is mandatory .

Thanks,

BM Goyal

A participant in a discussion forum inquired about the import benefits under the Duty Free Import Authorization (DFIA) scheme for exports to Bhutan. The questions addressed whether supplies to Bhutan qualify as exports, whether raw materials can be imported duty-free under an Advance Authorization from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), and if a Bill of Export is mandatory for export obligations. The query received two responses, with one asking if the issue was resolved and the other indicating that a response was still awaited.
