The governing structure distinguishes free, restricted, and prohibited imports, with restricted goods requiring prior authorization based on policy classification, sectoral sensitivity, national security concerns, environmental safeguards, public health, or strategic considerations. Importers must identify the correct ITC (HS) code, obtain an Import Export Code, and assess whether the goods fall within SCOMET or any other controlled category. Restricted import approval ordinarily involves an import licence or authorisation issued by DGFT, together with any required NOCs, technical approvals, end-use certificates, industrial licence requirements, BIS certification, or Chartered Engineer certification depending on product type. en-us Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:50:26 +0530 Mon, 23 Mar 2026 08:50:27 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/article/detailed?id=16059 Restricted goods may be imported into India only through a layered compliance framework under the foreign trade regime.
