In case of export of continuous cast billets/ blooms/ slabs, items at Sl.No.3(b) and 4(b)(i) shall not be allowed. Similarly against export of rolled bloom, billets,slabs through ingot route, refractory items 3(J) shall not be allowed. However, in case of export of rolled billets/ blooms/ slabs produced out of continous cast bloom/ billets/ slabs, both items mentioned at Sl.No.3(b) and 4(b)(i) shall be allowed.Further, against export of billets/ blooms/ slabs, quantities of all other inputs shall be reduced by 5%. 3. In case of export of Ingots, import of items at Sl.No.3(b), (c), (d), (j) 4(b) shall not be permitted. Further quantity of other inputs shall be reduced by 10%. 4. Quantity of Silico-Manganese shall not exceed 60% of total permitted quantity of 15 kg.
