Import quota for urad: restricted imports allowed only to millers/refiners with allocation under DGFT procedure.
Notification establishes a fixed annual import quota for urad (Vigna mungo) for 2021-22 up to 31 March 2022 under specified HS codes, maintaining its status as a restricted import; imports under this restriction are permitted only to millers/refiners and will be allocated equally or for the quantity applied, whichever is lower, pursuant to a DGFT procedure to be notified.

Importer-Exporter Code annual update requirement: failure to update triggers deactivation, reactivation on successful updation, with system scrutiny also causing deactivation.
DGFT formalises e-IEC issuance and an entirely online process for IEC generation and updation. IEC holders must confirm or update IEC details electronically each year during the annual update period; failure to do so will result in de-activation, which may be reversed upon successful updation. IECs may also be flagged for system scrutiny, and unaddressed flags can trigger deactivation. These procedural changes replace prior sub-paragraphs and operate without prejudice to other actions under the Foreign Trade Policy.

Designated food import entry points limit where authorised officers may clear food imports, aligning import control with food safety rules.
