Exemption from quantitative ceilings for certified organic exports allows their shipment despite restrictions on non-organic equivalents. Organic wheat, organic non-Basmati rice (excluding paddy/rough), organic edible oils, and organic sugar certified under NPOP/APEDA are exempt from quantitative ceilings and prohibitions applicable to non-organic counterparts, provided exports occur from Custom EDI ports; the annual export ceiling for APEDA-certified organic pulses and lentils has been increased and requires prior APEDA contract registration and shipment through Custom EDI ports.
