DGFT implements automated system for adhoc input-output norms fixation

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has introduced a new automated system to establish adhoc input-output norms, aimed at facilitating foreign trade procedures. This initiative allows exporters to import duty-free raw materials for manufacturing goods meant for export under advance authorisation. Exporters can now apply for customized adhoc norms through a rule-based, automated process if standard norms do not meet their specific requirements.
