DGFT Sets New SIONs for Chemical and Allied Products

What changed

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has issued Public Notice 23, announcing the fixation of seven new Standard Input Output Norms (SIONs) under the "Chemical and Allied Product" category. These norms are identified as SION No. A-3708 to A-3714. This update is part of the ongoing efforts to streamline the import-export processes for chemical products.

Why it matters for shipments

The introduction of these new SIONs could affect the documentation and compliance requirements for importers and exporters dealing with chemical products. It is crucial for businesses in this sector to understand how these changes might impact their current and future shipments. The specifics of which products or processes are affected are not detailed in the notice, so verification with the official document is necessary.
