Standard input-output norms require exporters to match imported inputs to declared export products for FTP compliance.

The Foreign Trade Policy sets Standard Input Output Norms for engineering products, specifying permissible inputs and normative quantities for manufacture of export goods (including cold rolled painted/coated high tensile steel strapping, hot rolled steel strips/coils, and specified paints). A schedule determines the proportions of inputs usable in producing different resultant products, and applicants must ensure imported goods are those actually used or required for the declared export product, aligning imports with the normative schedule.
