Note:
1). These norms will be
applicable only if the export product is manufactured through Electric Arc
Furnace route/Induction Furnace route using steel scrap as basic raw material.
2). Sl. 16 & 21 will be
allowed only in case of export of rolled billets/blooms/slabs,
3). In case of export of rolled
blooms/billets/slabs, produced out of ingots, refractory items under sl. 17
shall not be allowed.
4). Against
export of ingots, import items at Sl. 10, 11, 16 & 21 shall not be allowed.
5). When export product has been
manufactured through electric induction furnace route, import item No. 9 &
12 will not be allowed.
6). The
item non alloy steel melting scrap will be allowed as per the definition given
in section XV of Customs Tariff.
7). Individual quantity of
Pig/cast iron, and sponge iron/ HBI shall not exceed 20% and 65% respectively
of the total quantity of items to be permitted under import item No. 1.
Effect of
this modification: There has been a change in the description of
export product. On the input side the number of inputs have
not changed, but quantity permitted in respect of some inputs have been
reduced.
