India Updates Export Policy for Food Supplements With Botanicals

India updated its export policy for vegetable saps and extracts and food preparations not elsewhere specified or included in the ITS Harmonized System code. The Directorate General of Foreign Trade said the export of food supplements with botanicals under HS codes 1302 and 2106 meant for human or animal consumption to the EU and the U.K. will "require issuance of official certificate" from the Shellac and Forest Products Export Promotion Council. The agency is allowed to issue a certificate for a period of three months.
