imposed vide Notification No. 50 — Not applicable to
exports by SEZ Units — Clarification
[Amend at page 1306 of 25th Edition of FTP & Handbook of Procedures, Vol. 1, 2019-20]
Subsequent to the issuance of the Notification No. 50, dated 3-3-2020 re-
stricting export of 13 APIs and 13 formulations made from these APIs, DGFT has
received various representations from SEZ units and other exporters highlighting
the issues faced by the exporters of APIs/Formulations.
2. DGFT has examined these issues and the following is being clarified :
I. As per the SEZ Rules, the restriction on exports does not apply to
SEZs. It is, therefore, clarified that the exports of restricted APIs and
Formulations made from these APIs is allowed from SEZ Units.
II. The restriction notified vide Notification No. 50/2015-20, dated 3-3-
2020 is applicable for only those item descriptions specified in the No-
tification and not on the other APIs/Formulations that may be falling
under the same ITC (HS) codes and have different description.
Therefore, it is clarified that all other items under the ITC (HS)
codes in the notification other than the ones falling under the item
description specified against each code in the Notification are al-
lowed for exports.
This issues with the approval of Competent Authority.

stricting export of 13 APIs and 13 formulations made from these APIs, DGFT has
received various representations from exporters highlighting the issues faced by
them in fulfilling their export obligations under Advance Authorization scheme.

Chapter 30 in the Notification No. 50, dated 3-3-2020 shall be allowed to be ex-
ported under the Advance Licenses issued on or before the date of Notification
(3-3-2020). Also, no enhancement of Quantity shall be permitted for import and
