The Public Notice amends Para 4.84(b) of HBP, concerning the Export Obligation (EO) period under the Advance Authorisation (AA) Scheme. Under the amended procedure, the general EO period remains 120 days from the date of import for each consignment. However, for findings and mountings made of gold, platinum, or silver used for the export of jewellery, the EO period is extended to 180 days from the date of import.
