The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued Public Notice 36/2026-27, announcing the fixation of four new Standard Input-Output Norms (SIONs). These norms are listed under SION Nos. A-3715, A-3716, A-3717, and A-3718, specifically targeting the "Chemical and Allied Product" category, identified by Product Code 'A'.
These new SIONs could alter the input-output ratios for chemical products, impacting how importers and exporters calculate their material requirements and duties. If your business deals with chemicals, it's crucial to determine if your products fall under these new norms. This change may affect documentation and compliance, particularly for those relying on specific input-output calculations for their shipments.
