Officers must not make direct references to DGFT for clarification on Foreign Trade Policy interpretation; such issues must first be examined at Group/Section level, escalated through the Deputy/Assistant Commissioner, and sent through the prescribed channel to the Board only after due scrutiny.

Consignments should not be held up solely for interpretational issues, and provisional assessment or other lawful facilitative measures should be considered to avoid delay in clearance.
