The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) issued a corrigendum to Public Notice No. 27/2026-2027, dated 20.08.2026. This update modifies the modalities for the application and distribution of the Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) concerning the import of 10 lakh metric tonnes of raw sugar. Additionally, it addresses the one-time conversion from the Advance Authorisation (AA) Scheme to the TRQ Scheme.
This change affects importers dealing with raw sugar, particularly those utilizing the Advance Authorisation Scheme who may now consider transitioning to the TRQ Scheme. The specifics of the TRQ application process and distribution criteria have been updated, potentially impacting documentation and filing procedures for affected shipments. Importers should verify how these changes might influence their current and future import strategies.
