The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has announced an extension of the timeline for a one-time conversion of Advance Authorisation under SION E-52 to Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ) for the import of raw sugar. This change is detailed in Public Notice 29/2026-27 dated September 3, 2026.
This extension is crucial for importers dealing with raw sugar, as it provides additional time to adjust their import strategies and documentation. The conversion from Advance Authorisation to TRQ can affect duty rates and import quotas, impacting cost and supply chain planning. Importers should verify if their shipments are eligible for this conversion and how it affects their current import processes.
