The note addresses re export permission conditioned on payment of a redemption fine and the statutory limitation for exercising that option. It explains that under the applicable statutory scheme the option to redeem lapses if the fine is not paid within the prescribed 120 day period and no appeal is pending, and that the prescribed appeal window (60 days plus 30 days extension) was not availed.
