Attention
is invited to Notification No.44(RE-2000)/97-2002, dated 24.11. 2000.
Representations/references have been received from Trade and Customs regarding
the scope and applicability of the provisions of
Standards of Weights and Measures
(Package Commodity) Rules, 1977, on various imports.
In this regard, it is clarified that :
The labelling requirements, as mentioned in para 4 of
the Notification, shall be applicable only on imports of those pre-packaged
commodities, which are intended for retail sale. Since import of raw
materials, components, bulk imports etc., would invariably undergo further
processing or assembly before they are sold to consumers, these imports shall
not invite the application of labelling requirements as per para 4 of the
Notification.
This
issues with approval of Director General of Foreign Trade.
