    Ensure full compliance with all conditions enumerated in Paragraphs (i) through (xv) of DGFT Public Notice 17/2023, which govern the procedure for allocation and monitoring of TRQ quantities.

A word of counsel

The most common error on this tariff line is importing copper household articles of brass under Chapter 74 via the India-Nepal route without first securing a TRQ allocation from DGFT, then discovering at the bill-of-entry stage that the 10,000 MT annual cap is exhausted or the consignment falls outside an allocated tranche. A TRQ allocation letter must be in hand before the goods are shipped; retrospective allocation is not available, and consignments arriving without a valid allocation face detention and potential re-export under the ITC (HS) Restricted-import regime.

Does the TRQ cap of 10,000 MT apply to all imports of Chapter 74 copper products or only to India-Nepal Treaty trade?
Per DGFT Public Notice 17/2023, the 10,000 MT TRQ and associated allocation-and-monitoring procedure under Para 2.92 of the HBP 2023 applies specifically to the revised India-Nepal Treaty; importers should confirm whether their origin qualifies before relying on TRQ benefit.
