DGFT updates 5-11 October 2026: EU sugar TRQ and silver imports

Public Notice 32/2026-27 allocates 5,841 MT of sugar for export to the EU under the tariff rate quota for October 2026 to September 2027, with APEDA as the implementing agency.

Notification 42/2026-27 amends FTP Para 4.49 so foreign diamond mining companies, their sightholders and linked brokers or auction entities can operate in Special Notified Zones, subject to Entry 13F of Schedule IV of the Income-tax Act.

Policy Circular 02/2026-27 says a valid import authorisation is enough to import silver under ITC(HS) 71069221; nominated agency status and routing through IIBX are not needed unless the authorisation says so.
