Chapter IV Sec.26, Sec.39 [Destruction of goods] sec.45 [Exports] Chapter V sec.47 [To DTA ] please read the above SEZ Rules which may help you to proceed re-export or DTA sales of rejected goods, if you have agreement with your customer for resending the rejected goods after repair or recondition it is also allowed as per SEZ rules.
