Export without ARE-1

[Ashok Chopra]

Respected Forum,

I am manufacturer exporter, exporting under self sealing procedure against issue of ARE-1.

Is there any amendment that export under self sealing can be made without issue of ARE-1.

Please guide me accordingly alongwith copy of any notification or circular of department to satisfy my management.

thanks and regard
