The Government of India, through a public notice, has outlined regulations for the export of Silk Waste falling under ITC (HS) code 5003. Export clearance now requires an inspection report from Authorized Officers of the Central Silk Board (CSB) or a test report from Textile Testing Labs under CSB. The CSB has designated specific officers for inspection and certification of silk goods for export. Exporters are responsible for any testing/inspection charges. All silk waste export consignments must undergo 100% examination in the presence of a CSB authorized officer, with the inspection report shared with the docks admin section for clearance. Until CSB is registered as a PGA in ICEGATE/ICES, export clearance will be based on the test report/inspection certificate from the CSB authorized officer. Stakeholders are advised to comply with these requirements, and any implementation issues should be reported to the Commissioner of Customs in Chennai.
