India imposes export curbs on wood briquettes

Change
India requires exporters to obtain a restricted export authorisation from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) — India's export regulator — to ship wood briquettes, effective immediately.
India imposes export curbs on wood briquettes
Why it matters
The policy converts previously unrestricted shipments into a licence-controlled flow, creating a mandatory pre-shipment approval step for exporters. Export consignments lacking the required authorisation will be barred from proceeding.
Implications
  • Exporters of wood briquettes must apply for and secure a restricted export authorisation from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) before shipping, otherwise their consignments will be prohibited from export.
  • Exporters of sawdust and wood waste agglomerated into logs, briquettes, pellets or similar forms must file for the restricted export authorisation before exporting those items, otherwise exports will not be permitted.
