The GOI amended import policies under Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992, modifying restrictions on vessels under CTH 890690. Items under codes 89069010 (patrol boats, surveillance vessels, air-cushion vehicles, remote operated vehicles) and 89069090 (other vessels) have been reclassified from "Restricted" to "Free" import status. This amendment, executed through powers under Sections 3 and 5 of the Act and aligned with Foreign Trade Policy 2023, removes previous import restrictions on these maritime vessels. The policy change takes immediate effect, liberalizing the import regime for specialized maritime vessels and related equipment.
