Brussels - After considerable efforts by BIR and its Indian members and in particular the BIR Ambassador to India in promoting necessary changes regarding the controls of imports into India, the Indian Ministry of Environment and Forest makes improvements that will allow traders to provide their services to their clients, the "actual users", having registered with the State Pollution Control Board. Also the new Indian rules allow both inspection agencies "certified by the exporting country" and inspection and certification agencies "approved by the Director General of Foreign Trade" to provide exporters with pre-shipment inspection certificates where required.

It is still the case that not every exporting country will have the services of an inspection agency, and certain inspection agencies are likely to continue to refuse to provide certificates for India (due to the required certificate wording and its liability). Still for exporting countries that do not have an inspection agency "certified by the exporting country" they can utilize an agency "approved by the Director General of Foreign Trade".

BIR will keep its members informed on important future developments.

The new Rule S.O.2447(E), [23/09/2009] at envfor.nic.in 2447 amends the Rule S.O.1799(E), [21/07/2009] at envfor.nic.in 1799which amends the main Rules S.O.2265(E), [24/09/2008] on Hazardous Wastes (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) at envfor.nic.in 2265.
