Implementation of the Trade Notice No. 07/2023-24 dated 08.06.2023 in reference to the pre-import condition under Advance Authorisation Scheme -reg.
This is in reference to the implementation of the Trade Notice 07/2023-24 dated 08.06.2023 according to which all the imports made under Advance Authorization Scheme on or after 13.10.2017 and up to and including 09.01.2019 which could not meet the ‘pre-import condition’ may be regularized by making payments as prescribed in the Customs Circular No. 16/2023 dated 07.06.2023.
