1. Attention is invited towards SI.No-6 of General Note for all products of Standard Input Output Norms which reads as under:

"Unless speatied, otherwise/ the import of components wherever allowed shall be permitted on net to net basis/ i.e./ without any wastage/ with accountability clause and the type/ technical specifications (including part No. if any) etc., of the components sought for import should conform to those utilized in the manufacture of the resultant product. which should be reflected in export documents (Shipping Bills) also. A condition to this effect shall be imposed on the licence. //

2. Attention is also invited towards SI.No-4 of Genera! Note for Engineering products which reads as under:

''For Import of components/ in respect of Export product (a) where norms have not been standardized and published and the applicant seeks to import only Components (without any raw meter/st. consumables etc.) or (b) where SIGN do not provide import of Components or (c) where additional Components in addition to those allowed in norms are souqht: the Components as an input may be allowed for import on net-to-net basis, without any wastage, by the Licensing Authority. Import of components sought as Spares shall be governed by the Policy for Spares. In such cases; the import of Components allowed shall be permitted with accountability clause and the; type/ technical spectticetions (including part No. if any) etc. of the Components sought for import should conform to those utilized in the manufacturing of the resultant product. which should be reflected in export documents (Shipping Bills) also. A condition to this effect shall be imposed 017 the licence. //

3. Representations have been received from Trade and Industry informing the difficulties being faced by them in getting EODes where inputs have been obtained on net to net basis subject to accountability clause in terms of SI. No-4 of General Notes for Engineering Products and SI No-6 of General Notes for All Export Products Groups. Exporters have declared the inputs in the shipping bill. However, doubts have been raised whether declaring inputs in the shipping bill amounts to fulfilment of accountability clause as mentioned in the above general notes. Some exporters have not indicated model/part numbers of inputs imported duty free while making shipments.

4. In order to improve ease of doing business and to facilitate issuance of EODC, it has been decided that EODC shall be issued on the basis of the following:

a. Exporter should invariably declare input quantities used in the export product in the relevant part of the shipping bill.

b. Authorisation holder shall submit an accountability statement showing description and quantity of exported products and inputs consumed therein as per the annexed format.

c. A certificate, as per annexed format, from independent Chartered Engineer having domain knowledge, certifying that inputs imported are actually required for manufacturing of the resultant product and as per inventory; all imported inputs have been used in the resultant products. He shall also certify the quantity exported and item wise input quantity consumed.

5. This will also be applicable for Advance Authorisations where EODC are pending irrespective of policy period.

This issues with the approval of DGFT in public interest.
