Amendment in export policy of Wheat Flour and Related Products
Amendment in Export Policy of Wheat Flour and Related Products
The Government of India has amended the export policy applicable to wheat flour and certain related products under Schedule 2 of the ITC (HS) Export Policy.
Under the revised policy, products covered under ITC (HS) Code 11010000, including wheat or meslin flour, atta, maida, semolina (rava/suji), wholemeal atta and resultant atta, can now be exported without restriction.
| ITC (HS) Code | Products Covered | Earlier Policy | Revised Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11010000 | Wheat or Meslin Flour (Atta), Maida, Semolina (Rava/Suji), Wholemeal Atta and Resultant Atta | Prohibited | Free |
The change has been introduced by the Central Government under the provisions of the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992, read with the relevant provisions of the Foreign Trade Policy, 2023.
Effective Date
The revised export policy is effective immediately from the date of issuance of the notification.
Key Takeaway
With this amendment, the export of wheat flour and the specified related products under HS Code 11010000 has been shifted from the “Prohibited” category to the “Free” category, thereby allowing exports without the earlier prohibition, subject to applicable conditions under the Foreign Trade Policy and other relevant regulations.
