A query was raised regarding whether goods from the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA) can be supplied to a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) through a third party. The response clarified that SEZs, despite being in India, are considered foreign territory, and exports to SEZ units are treated as physical exports.
