Focus Product Licence for Status Holders

[CLARENCE PEREIRA]

I am an Exporter in Leather Garments (Status Holder) entitled to Licence Scrip under Focus Product Scheme.

While exporting the shipping bill is generated as " Leather Garments with leather more than 75% of visible surface".

Now at DGFT the Focus Licence is refused as the nomenclature is "Leather Garments" and according to them it should be 100%. They are even threatning to withdraw all licences issued so far with penalties.

Kiindly clarify

AI Summary

Focus Product Scheme eligibility: whether a visible-leather percentage in product description meets licence requirements and blocks refusal.
Whether a Status Holder qualifies for a Focus Product Licence where exports are described as "Leather Garments with leather more than 75% of visible surface" hinges on the scheme's product nomenclature interpretation, the evidentiary weight of the shipping bill and product description, and whether a quantified visible-leather statement satisfies eligibility or requires amendment; procedural remedies include representation, submission of corroborating evidence, and administrative review before licence withdrawal or penalties.
