Customs exemption for handicraft inputs: duty-free import permitted for registered exporters with EPC certification and prior-export value cap. The notification adds a duty-exempt tariff entry for specified inputs used in handicraft exports, including electrical lamp parts, hinges, locks, wax items, chemicals/lacquer and motifs, subject to condition 8A. Condition 8A requires that the importer be a manufacturer of handicrafts registered with the Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts, that imports under the exemption do not exceed a value cap linked to the prior year's FOB exports, and that the importer produce an EPC certificate certifying prior-year export value and details of items already imported. The amendment also extends references to include leather and the Leather Export Promotion Council where relevant.
