DGFT:
The Central Government has amended the Import Policy Conditions for Cabinet Hinges classified under Chapter 83 of the ITC (HS), 2022 Schedule I (Import Policy). While imports under HS Codes 83021010, 83021090, 83024200, and 83024900 continue to be under the ‘Free’ category, a revised condition has been introduced stating that Cabinet Hinges with a CIF value of less than ₹280 per kilogram will now be treated as ‘Restricted’. This policy amendment has been made to regulate the import of low-value hardware fittings and is effective immediately, with the approval of the Minister of Commerce & Industry.
