Drawing of export samples of basmati rice and PUSA 1121 non Basmati Rice for variety identification purposes
2.1 Customs shall allow export consignments of Basmati rice and PUSA 1121 Non- basmati rice based on the parameters of grain length, and grain length to breath ratio. Customs may draw random samples for testing, to ascertain variety identification and send these samples for analysis to AGMARK testing centres. However, Customs will not hold back export consignments / containers for want of test reports, and export will be allowed after drawing samples, wherever required.
2.2 In cases, where test reports of samples are found at variance with the export declaration, Customs will report the matter to the nearest Zonal Joint DGFT (with copy to DGFT at HQs New Delhi) for necessary action and remedial measures to be taken regarding the defaulting exporter.
3. This issues with the approval of Director General of Foreign Trade.
