The Central Government amends the import policy condition for Glufosinate Technical under HS Code 38089390 by changing the import status for low-value shipments. Importers face a restricted status instead of a prohibited status for the import of Glufosinate and its salts when the cost, insurance, and freight value is below the specified monetary threshold per kilogram. The import status remains free when the cost, insurance, and freight value meets or exceeds the threshold. This revised condition applies for a period of one year.
