Policy Circular No. 42 (RE-2010)/2009-14
Dated: 21 October, 2011
To
All Regional Authorities
Subject:- Eligibility of export product
“Technical Textiles” listed at FPS Product Code 33, Table-4, Appendix 37D of
HBPv1 – reg.
Sr. No. 33, Table-4, Appendix 37D of HBPv1 allows FPS benefit to products
covered under ITC HS Code 5407 with description “Technical Textiles – Woven
Fabrics of Synthetic Filament Yarn”. References have been received from the
Regional Authorities seeking clarification on coverage of products classified
under ITC HS Code 5407 for FPS benefit.
- The matter has been examined. It is decided that a technical textile is a
textile product manufactured for non-aesthetic purposes, where function is the
primary criterion. Technical textiles include textiles for automotive
applications, medical textiles, geotextiles, agrotextiles and protective
clothing like heat and radiation protection for fire fighter clothing, molten
metal protection for welders, stab protection and bulletproof vests and
spacesuits etc. Accordingly, only 33 items as listed in the Annexure are covered
under technical textiles.
- It has, therefore, been decided to allow FPS benefits to export products
listed in the Annexure to this Policy Circular under category of “Technical
Textiles”. This list is applicable for exports made w.e.f. 1.4.2011 and any FPS
benefit granted to products other than those listed in Annexure to this Circular
for exports made w.e.f. 1.4.2011 would need to be recovered from the exporters.
- All RAs are advised to consider claims accordingly.
- This issues with approval of DGFT.
Effect of this Policy Circular:
Only 33 items are eligible to get FPS benefit under heading “Technical
Textiles” as per Sr.No.33, of Table 4, Appendix 37D of HBPv1. The list of 33
items, so eligible, is in the Annexure to this Policy Circular and this list is
applicable for export made with effect from 01.04.2011.
