Commerce Minister launches Foreign Trade Policy 2023

Cont’d. from Pg. 4

He stated that the policy had been under discussion for a long time and has been formulated after multiple stakeholder consultations. India's overall exports, including services and merchandise exports, has alreadycrossedUS$750Billionandis expected to cross US$ 760 Billion this year,hesaid.

The Minister referred to the interaction that Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi with the exporters on 06th August, 2021 and encouraged them to increase exports and get more deeply involved in the global value chain. He lauded the vision and guidance of the Prime Minister who believed that given the size of the Indian economy and manufacturing & service sector base, thepotentialforthecountrytogrowis manifold. He said that this vision is at thecoreofthepolicy.

The Minister noted that the remarkable achievement in the overall export figure of crossing US$ 760 Billion in these challenging times acrosstheworldhasbeentheresultof enthusiasm and encouragement pumped in by the Prime Minister. He said that this achievement is in sync with the target set in the roadmap in 2021 after the interaction with the PrimeMinister.

He stressed that every opportunity for export must be captured and utilised effectively. He also mentioned that in the next 5 monthsduringIndia’sG20presidency there should be a massive concentratedoutreachwiththeworld bothsector-wiseandcountry-wise.

The release of the policy was also attended by Union Minister of State for Commerce & Industry, Smt. AnupriyaPatel,CommerceSecretary, Shri Sunil Barthwal and Member Customs, Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, Shri Rajiv Talwar. Director General of Foreign Trade, Shri Santosh Kumar Sarangi gave a detailed presentation on the policy.

The Key Approach to the policy is based on these 4 pillars: (i) Incentive to Remission, (ii) Export promotion through collaboration - Exporters, States,Districts,IndianMissions,(iii) Ease of doing business, reduction in transaction cost and e-initiatives and (iv) Emerging Areas – E-Commerce Developing Districts as Export Hubs andstreamliningSCOMETpolicy.

Foreign Trade Policy (2023) is a policy document which is based on continuity of time-tested schemes facilitating exports as well as a document which is nimble and responsive to the requirements of trade. It is based on principles of

‘trust’ and ‘partnership’ with exporters. In the FTP 2015-20, changesweredonesubsequenttothe initial release even without announcement of a new FTP responding dynamically to the emerging situations. Hereafter, the revisions of the FTP shall be done as and when required.Incorporating feedback from Trade and Industry would also be continuous to streamline processes and update FTP,fromtimetotime.

The FTP 2023 aims at process reengineering and automation to facilitate ease of doing business for exporters. It also focuses on emergingareaslikedualusehighend technology items under SCOMET, facilitating e-commerce export, collaborating with States and Districtsforexportpromotion.

ThenewFTPisintroducingaonetime Amnesty Scheme for exporters to close the old pending authorizationsandstartafresh.

The FTP 2023 encourages recognition of new towns through “Towns of Export Excellence Scheme” and exporters through “Status Holder Scheme”. The FTP 2023 is facilitating exports by streamlining the popular Advance Authorization and EPCG schemes, andenablingmerchantingtradefrom India.

Process Re-Engineering and Automation

Greater faith is being reposed on exporters through automated IT systems with risk management system for various approvals in the new FTP. The policy emphasizes export promotion and development, moving away from an incentive regime to a regime which is facilitating, based on technology interface and principles of collaboration. Considering the effectiveness of some of the ongoing schemes like Advance Authorisation, EPCG etc. under FTP 2015-20, they will be continued along with substantial process re-engineering and technology enablement for facilitating the exporters. FTP 2023 codifiesimplementationmechanisms in a paperless, online environment, building on earlier 'ease of doing business' initiatives. Reduction in fee structures and IT-based schemes will make it easier for MSMEs and others toaccessexportbenefits.

Duty exemption schemes for export production will now be implemented through Regional Offices in a rule-based IT system environment, eliminating the need for manual interface. During the FY23-24, all processes under the Advance and EPCG Schemes, including issue,

re-validation, and EO extension, will becoveredinaphasedmanner.Cases identified under risk management framework will be scrutinized manually, while majority of the applicantsareexpectedtobecovered underthe'automatic'routeinitially.

TownsofExportExcellence

Four new towns, namely Faridabad, Mirzapur, Moradabad, and Varanasi, have been designated asTownsofExportExcellence(TEE) in addition to the existing 39 towns. The TEEs will have priority access to export promotion funds under the MAI scheme and will be able to avail Common Service Provider (CSP) benefits for export fulfillment under the EPCG Scheme. This addition is expected to boost the exports of handlooms,handicrafts,andcarpets.

RecognitionofExporters

Exporter firms recognized with 'status' based on export performance will now be partners in capacitybuilding initiatives on a bestendeavor basis. Similar to the 'each one teach one' initiative, 2-star and above status holders would be encouraged to provide trade-related trainingbasedonamodelcurriculum to interested individuals. This will help India build a skilled manpower pool capable of servicing a $5 Trillion economy before 2030. Status recognition norms have been recalibrated to enable more exporting firms to achieve 4 and 5-star ratings, leading to better branding opportunitiesinexportmarkets.

Promotingexportfromthedistricts

The FTP aims at building partnerships with State governments and taking forward the Districts as Export Hubs (DEH) initiative to promote exports at the district level and accelerate the development of grassroots trade ecosystem. Efforts to identify export worthy products & services and resolve concerns at the district level will be made through an institutional mechanism – State Export Promotion Committee and District Export Promotion Committee at the State and District level, respectively. District specific export action plans to be prepared for each district outlining the district specific strategy to promote export of identifiedproductsandservices.

StreamliningSCOMETPolicy

India is placing more emphasis on the "export control" regime as its integrationwithexportcontrolregime countries strengthens. There is a wider outreach and understanding of SCOMET (Special Chemicals, Organisms,Materials,Equipmentand Technologies) among stakeholders, andthepolicy...

... regime is being made more robust to implement international treaties and agreements entered into by India. A robust export control system in India would provide access of dual-use High end goods and technologies to Indian exporters whilefacilitatingexportsofcontrolled items/technologies under SCOMET fromIndia.

FacilitatingE-CommerceExports

E-commerce exports are a promising category that requires distinct policy interventions from traditional offline trade. Various estimates suggest e-commerce exportpotentialintherangeof$200to $300billionby2030.FTP2023outlines the intent and roadmap for establishing e-commerce hubs and related elements such as payment reconciliation, book-keeping, returns policy, and export entitlements. As a starting point, the consignment wise cap on E-Commerce exports through courier has been raised from Rs. 5Lakh to Rs. 10 Lakh in the FTP 2023. Depending on the feedback of exporters, this cap will be further revised or eventually removed. Integration of Courier and Postal exports with ICEGATE will enable exporters to claim benefits under FTP. The comprehensive ecommerce policy addressing the export/import ecosystem would be elaborated soon, based on the recommendations of the working committee on e-commerce exports and inter-ministerial deliberations. Extensive outreach and training activities will be taken up to build capacity of artisans, weavers, garment manufacturers, gems and jewellery designers to onboard them on E-Commerce platforms and facilitatehigherexports.

Facilitation under Export Promotion of Capital Goods (EPCG)Scheme

The EPCG Scheme, which allows import of capital goods at zero Customs duty for export production, is being further rationalized. Some

keychangesbeingaddedare:

• Prime Minister Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel Parks (PM MITRA) scheme has been added as an additional scheme eligible to claim benefits under CSP(Common Service Provider) Scheme of Export Promotion capital Goods Scheme(EPCG).

• Dairy sector to be exempted from maintaining Average Export Obligation–tosupportdairysectorto upgradethetechnology.

• Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) of all types, Vertical Farming equipment, Wastewater Treatment and Recycling, Rainwater harvesting system and Rainwater Filters, and Green Hydrogen are added to Green Technology products – will now be eligibleforreducedExportObligation requirementunderEPCGScheme Facilitation under Advance authorizationScheme

Advance authorisation Scheme accessed by DTA units provides dutyfree import of raw materials for manufacturing export items and is placedatasimilarfootingtoEOUand SEZ Scheme. However, the DTA unit has the flexibility to work both for domestic as well as export production. Based on interactions with industry and Export Promotion councils, certain facilitation provisions have been added in the presentFTPsuchas

• Special Advance Authorisation Scheme extended to export of Apparel and Clothing sector under para 4.07 of HBP on selfdeclaration basis to facilitate prompt execution of export orders – Norms wouldbefixedwithinfixedtimeframe.

• Benefits of Self-Ratification Scheme for fixation of Input-Output Norms extended to 2 star and above status holders in addition to Authorised Economic Operators at present.

Merchantingtrade

To develop India into a merchanting trade hub, the FTP 2023 has introduced provisions for

merchanting trade. Merchanting trade of restricted and prohibited items under export policy would now be possible. Merchanting trade involves shipment of goods from one foreign country to another foreign Country without touching Indian ports, involving an Indian intermediary. This will be subject to compliance with RBI guidelines, and won’t be applicable for goods/items classified in the CITES and SCOMET list. In course of time, this will allow Indian entrepreneurs to convert certain places like GIFT city etc. into major merchanting hubs as seen in places like Dubai, Singapore and HongKong.

AmnestyScheme

Finally, the government is strongly committed to reducing litigation and fostering trust-based relationships to help alleviate the issues faced by exporters. In line with "Vivaad se Vishwaas" initiative, which sought to settle tax disputes amicably, the Government is introducing a special one-time Amnesty Scheme under the FTP 2023to address default on Export Obligations.Thisschemeisintended to provide relief to exporters who have been unable to meet their obligations under EPCG and Advance Authorizations, and who are burdened by high duty and interest costs associated with pending cases. All pending cases of the default in meeting Export Obligation (EO) of authorizations mentioned can be regularized on payment of all customs duties that were exempted in proportion to unfulfilled Export Obligation. The interest payable is capped at 100% of these exempted duties under this scheme. However, no interest is payable on the portion of Additional Customs Duty and Special Additional Customs Duty and this is likely to provide relief to exporters as interest burden will come down substantially. It is hoped that this amnesty will give these exporters a fresh start and an opportunitytocomeintocompliance.
