<h1>Illegal Chinese Fireworks Seized in India; No Licenses Issued by DGFT for 3 Years; Public Urged to Report Violations.</h1> The import of fireworks in India is restricted under the Indian Trade classification code, requiring a license from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which hasn't issued any licenses for the past three years. Despite no official import agreements with China, illegal imports of Chinese firecrackers have been seized by Customs Authorities and the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) in various locations. The Petroleum Explosives Safety Organization (PESO) actively destroys seized fireworks and conducts special drives during festivals. The government regularly informs the public that possessing or selling foreign-origin fireworks is illegal and punishable, urging reports of violations to police.
