Dear Friend,

It is Para 6.8 (a) and not 6.08(a) as stated by you.

As per this, an EOU other than gems and jewellery units can ...

• Sell in DTA upto to 50% of FOB value of its exports on payment of concessional duties
• If an EOU is manufacturing more than one product, then it can clear in DTA any of the products up to 90% its FOB Value ( of that particular product exported or expected to be exported) subject to the condition that th total value of clearances should be in the over all limit of 50% permitted.

Dear Friend,

The Phrase " Expected to be exported" generally indicates that the proposed quantity/value of a particular new or existing products likely to be exported in a year based on the internal projections based on the market trends.

Further, the word used by you saying cleared against expected to export , can I presume that you mean that you are clearing a product in DTA against which you are expected to export?

Best Regards,
