CALCUTTA-1
Subject: Darjeeling Certification Trade Mark Scheme of the Tea Board.
Sir,
I am directed to inform that the Tea Board India has officially announced its Certification Trade Mark Scheme for the word "Darjeeling" in respect of tea which is grown, cultivated, produced and manufactured in the Darjeeling Plantation District more specifically in the Scheduled tea gardens in the Darjeeling CTM Regulations. The Manual is available with the Dy. Director of tea Promotion (AR), Tea board and the same may be purchased from the Tea Board. The Price of the Manual has been fixed at Rs. 850/-.
Export of Darjeeling tea from India will henceforth be supported by two additional documents of the Tea Board. These documents are (1) Usuer’s Licence and (2) Certificate of Origin in Form BB of the Tea (Distribution & Export) Control Order, 1957 (copies enclosed).
It is, therefore, requested that necessary action may please be taken at your end and ensure full co-operation with the Tea Board in this regard.
Yours faithfully,
Sd/-
