Explanation: As a result of harmonization (a) serial
number against some items have undergone changes and (b) new ITC HS codes have
replaced old and outdated ITC HS codes. It is emphasized that this is only an
exercise to align / harmonize and hence there has been no addition / deletion in
entitlement. Grant of benefit may be considered if product description is
accurate even though ITC HS code mentioned in shipping bill is the earlier ITC
HS code (the old one that is being replaced now).
