Abeyance of Gold Export Norms Notice Extended to 31.10.2024

Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) issued Public Notice No. 23/2024-25 dated September 12, 2024, extending the abeyance of Public Notice No. 05/2024. The original notice, issued on May 27, 2024, aimed to modify the wastage permissible and Standard Input Output Norms (SIONs) concerning gold, platinum, and silver content in export items. Due to concerns raised by the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), the DGFT previously postponed its implementation through various public notices. The abeyance period, initially extended until July 31, 2024, and further until August 31, 2024, was last delayed until September 15, 2024. Now, this latest notice extends the abeyance until October 31, 2024. During this period, the existing wastage norms under Paragraph 4.59 of the Handbook of Procedures 2023 and the previous SIONs (M1 to M7) will continue to apply. The DGFT exercised its powers under the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 to make this decision. The public notice emphasizes that these temporary measures are based on feedback from the gem and jewelry industry, and the norms introduced in May remain suspended for further review. The decision was signed by Santosh Kumar Sarangi, Director General of Foreign Trade.
