The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has announced enhancements to the Pre-Shipment Inspection Agency (PSIA) and Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (PSIC) processes. This update is detailed in Trade Notice 22/2026-27, dated August 25, 2026. The changes aim to refine the inspection procedures, potentially affecting how inspections are conducted and documented.
These changes could impact the documentation required for imports and exports, particularly those involving pre-shipment inspections. Importers and exporters dealing with goods that require PSIA or PSIC should be aware of potential adjustments in filing and documentation processes. The exact impact on specific trades, such as chemicals or industrial raw materials, will depend on the details outlined in the official notice.
