Framework for Stock & Sale Authorization for export of SCOMET Items: The amended Paragraph 10.10 of the Handbook of Procedures 2023, broadens the definition of an eligible ‘Stockist’ abroad to include a subsidiary, parent company, or affiliate of the Indian exporter, as well as Indian or Foreign Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS), and Contract Manufacturers (CM). Applications for bulk export authorization to these stockists for subsequent transfer to end users will be considered by the Inter-Ministerial Working Group (IMWG). The Indian exporter is required to submit an application with supporting documents, including proof of corporate relationship, an End Use Certificate from the stockist specifying intended countries for re-export, and an undertaking adherence to regulations concerning military or WMD end use.
