Additionally, steel imports for export purposes through pre-authorization will also benefit from expedited customs clearance.

For steel grades covered by the QCO, importers must ensure that manufacturers hold the appropriate certification licenses issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

The total import volume through this channel for the current fiscal year is capped at 500 tons.
