Law Updates

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has revised the SCOMET (Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment, and Technologies) List under Appendix-3 of Schedule-II of ITC(HS) 2022. This update aligns India's export control framework with international standards, enhancing non-proliferation measures and addressing emerging technologies. The revised list includes new items under Category 7, covering certain emerging technologies and related items. To ensure a smooth transition, the changes will come into effect 30 days from the date of the notification, allowing stakeholders adequate time to comply. The updated list will be available on the DGFT website under the "Regulatory Updates" section.
