<h1>Regulatory notice suspends 2.22 kg input-output norm for processed silk sliver; exporters must match imports to usage</h1> A standard input-output norm in the foreign trade policy for processed silk (silk sliver) in the textiles sector has been suspended by regulatory notice. The prescribed conversion requires 2.22 kg of silk waste from cocoons and reelers in gummed form to produce 1 kg of processed silk (silk sliver). Applicants seeking benefits under the norm must ensure that imported inputs correspond to those actually used or required in the exported product, and that declared quantities match the manufacturing requirements.
