REPLIES TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE ON IMPORT
LICENSING PROCEDURES BY INDIA1
Reply of INDIA to the question from the UNITED STATES2
The following communication, dated 15 June 2004, is being circulated at the request of the
delegation of India.
_______________
Question: The United States thank India for its replies to the Questionnaire on Import Licensing
Procedures, G/LIC/N/3/IND/6. India's notification frequently cites "ITC(HS) Classifications of
Export and Import Items, 2002-2007". While this document exists in a query-based format under the
Directorate General of Foreign Trade's (DGFT) website (http://dgft.delhi.nic.in/itchs2002web.htm),
the entire document does not appear to be available on the DGFT website. Moreover, although there
is an indication on the homepage (http://dgft.delhi.nic.in/) that the ITC(HS) is available at the
"Downloads" link (http://164.100.9.245/exim/2000/download.htm), the ITC(HS) does not seem
actually to be at that link. Is the entire ITC(HS) available anywhere on the DGFT's website? If not,
could it be added in the interests of transparency and as an aid to the trading community?
Reply: The ITC(HS) Classification is currently being updated and will be made available on the
DGFT website shortly in full text version.
