The Government of India’s (GOI) Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) introduced new procedures for its Food Import Clearance System (FICS). Under the new process, exporters can “self-declare” the category for their respective exports from a prescribed list of “annexures” as a condition for obtaining a provisional ‘No-Objection-Certificate’ (NOC) from FSSAI. Previously exporters were required to provide a notarized affidavit to obtain an NOC under the FICS.
