Kindly refer appended para of the Master Circular No. 14/2012-13 dated 02-07-2012.  In this para it has been mentioned that "Period of realisation should be as applicable". Since the condition of realisation has been amended from normal to advance, hence, transferring of such goods to self's warehouse won't make any difference.

B.13 Opening / Hiring of Ware houses abroad

3. Period of realisation should be as applicable.

4. All transactions should be routed through the designated branch of the AD Banks.

6. AD Category – I banks granting such permission/approvals should maintain a proper record of the approvals granted.

In continuation to above:-

• Goods exported to a warehouse established outside India : As soon as it is realised and in any case within fifteen months from the date of shipment of goods; and

• In all other cases: With effect from June 3, 2008, this period of realization and repatriation to India has been enhanced to twelve months from the date of export till September 30, 2012. (effective from October 1, 2011).

It will be treated as stock transfer and on the even of realisation of foreign exchange it would be completed as export.

DGFT Notification: Advance Payment Required for Carpets and Handicrafts; Self-Owned Foreign Warehouse Transfers Clarified A discussion on a forum addresses a query regarding a new notification by the DGFT, which restricts exports of certain items like carpets and handicrafts without advance payment. The query asks about the treatment of goods sent to a self-owned foreign warehouse, questioning whether it constitutes a stock transfer or export. The response clarifies that transferring goods to a self-owned warehouse abroad does not change the requirement for advance payment. It outlines conditions for opening foreign warehouses, emphasizing that goods must be realized within specified periods, ultimately treating the transaction as a stock transfer until foreign exchange is realized.
