This public notice modifies the Standard Input Output Norm (SION) E-125 for the export of Shea Stearine. It amends the import entitlements for Shea Nuts, Shea Butter, Activated Bleaching Earth, and Acetone required for producing 1 MT of Shea Stearine for export. The notice specifies the revised quantities of import items and provides a formula to adjust the permitted quantity of Shea Nuts based on their oil content. It mandates customs authorities to test and endorse the oil content on import bills of entry. The SION is valid until 31.03.2027 and subject to reassessment to reflect industry pricing dynamics.
