DGFT has amended import policy for Penicillins and its salts, Amoxicillin and its salts, and 6-APA under Chapter 29. While the import policy for these items continues to remain ‘Free’, new MIP based restrictions have been introduced. Imports of Penicillin G-potassium with CIF value below Rs 2,216 per kg, Amoxicillin Trihydrate below Rs 2,733 per kg, and 6-APA below Rs 3,405 per kg are now classified as ‘Restricted’. However, the MIP conditions do not apply to imports by 100% Export Oriented Units, units in Special Economic Zones, or imports under the Advance Authorisation Scheme, provided the imported inputs are not sold into the Domestic Tariff Area.
