DGFT Issues Revised Procedure for Stock & Sale Authorization of SCOMET Items

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has introduced revisions to the procedures governing the sale of items that fall under the Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment and Technologies (SCOMET) list. These updated regulations pertain to the transfer of dual-use technologies, which have both civilian and military applications. The DGFT's revisions include the implementation of stricter end-use verification processes for sensitive exports, aimed at ensuring that these technologies are not diverted for unintended or harmful purposes, thereby strengthening controls over the export of strategically important goods and technologies.
