Exports in Anticipation of Authorisation

(a) Exports / supplies made from the date of EDI generated file number for an Advance Authorisation, may be accepted towards discharge of EO. Shipping / Supply document(s) should be endorsed with File Number or Authorisation Number to establish co-relation of exports / supplies with Authorisation issued.

(b) If application is approved, authorisation shall be issued based on input / output norms in force on the date of receipt of application by RA in proportion to provisional exports / supplies already made till any amendment in norms is notified. For remaining exports, Policy / Procedures in force on authorisation issue date shall be applicable.

(c) The export of SCOMET items shall not be permitted against an Authorisation application until and unless the requisite SCOMET Authorisation is issued.
