India ranks 11th exports of Dyes (Ch.32) with its world share of approx. 4%
 Potential Market for Dyes:

Italy, Indonesia, Brazil, Singapore, UAE, Taiwan, Pakistan, Kenya, Ghana, Tanzania, South Africa and Peru.

 Potential Market for Dye Intermediates:


Sri Lanka, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Netherlands, Mexico, Korea, Taiwan, Spain, and Brazil

 Short Term Strategy

 Arrange trade shows, road shows with member organizations for the promotion of Indian products
 Arrange ‘Reverse Buyer-Seller meets’ in India itself for importers to get a glimpse of product portfolio and
manufacturing operations in India. Also inform them about domestic manufacturing, product portfolio, compliance
adherences etc.
 Sponsor trade delegation, to various market abroad
 Organize Workshops/Seminars on various trade and policy related issues in various region.
 Disseminate trade information and intelligence to the member exporters on a regular basis
 Liaison with government, take pre-emptive measures in cases where govt. regulations/ policies/ trade decisions
have an impact on India’s export to these cluster countries
 Long-term Strategy

 In the next two years, strengthen the exports in large markets with low Indian presence
 Continue to maintain the strong position in top markets
 Establish contacts with the prospective buyers to generate their interest in the Indian chemical products
 Liaise with the Government of India on all procedural and policy matters relevant to the chemical export trade.
 Liaise with import promotion and commercial agencies abroad for the benefit of chemical exporters
 Technical barriers to trade (TBTs) are increasing day by day. To comply with these TBTs, provide member
organizations an able platform to voice concerns related to compliance with EU REACH etc.
 To increase the penetration in these countries through effort-light means, adopt digital promotion/ e-engagement
techniques like webinars etc. to interact with counterparts
 Facilitate short term training courses on International Marketing.
 Relook at export strategy every two years to factor in changing global scenario.

 Potential Markets for Inorganic Chemicals

Tanzania Rep, Netherlands, Kenya, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Belgium, UAE, Oman, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Singapore,
Uganda and Nigeria.

 Short Term Strategy

 Arrange trade shows, road shows with member organizations for the promotion of Indian products
 Arrange ‘Reverse Buyer-Seller meets’ in India itself for importers to get a glimpse of product portfolio and
manufacturing operations in India. Also inform them about domestic manufacturing, product portfolio, compliance
adherences etc.
 Sponsor trade delegation, to various market abroad
 Organize Workshops/Seminars on various trade and policy related issues in various region.
 Disseminate trade information and intelligence to the member exporters on a regular basis
 Liaison with government, take pre-emptive measures in cases where govt. regulations/ policies/ trade decisions
have an impact on India’s export to these cluster countries

 Long-term Strategy

 In the next two years, strengthen the exports in large markets with low Indian presence
 Continue to maintain the strong position in top markets
 Establish contacts with the prospective buyers to generate their interest in the Indian chemical products
 Liaise with the Government of India on all procedural and policy matters relevant to the chemical export trade.
 Liaise with import promotion and commercial agencies abroad for the benefit of chemical exporters
 Technical barriers to trade (TBTs) are increasing day by day. To comply with these TBTs, provide member
organizations an able platform to voice concerns related to compliance with EU REACH etc.
 To increase the penetration in these countries through effort-light means, adopt digital promotion/ e-engagement
techniques like webinars etc. to interact with counterparts
 Facilitate short term training courses on International Marketing.
 Relook at export strategy every two years to factor in changing global scenario.

 Antidumping on Pyridine (HS code 29333100) and its Sunset Review (SSR):

During the year 2013, China has levied antidumping duty of 24.6% was on Pyridine (HS
code 29333100) for imports from India and Japan. Subsequently based on review
carried out by the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), Peoples Republic of China, the
duty was revised to 17.6% with effect from 05 February 2016 for India. Now a sunset
review is started by MOFCOM in Nov’18 on completion of 5 years of duty.

India’s Pyridine exports to China and the value of exports touched an all-time high of $
44.40 Mn in the Year 2013. Post Antidumping Duty imposition, our volumes reduced
significantly, resulting in adverse impact on our export earnings (Source:Trademap)

Our company fully cooperated with MOFCOM and submitted all details that were called
for review. However, our company felt hurt that the investigations suffered from some
serious lacunae. Chinese industry had misrepresented many facts to create a case of
anti-dumping where it never existed. Now a Sunset review (SSR) is under process and
results by are expected by Nov'19 , all documents are submitted to MOFCOM for sunset
review. Govt may takeup with relevant stakeholders to ensure the unjustified dumping
is removed.

 Anti-dumping and countervailing duty on “Ortho Chloro Para Nitro Aniline


(OCPNA- HS code 29214200)

China has levied anti-dumping and countervailing duty on Ortho Chloro Para Nitro
Aniline (OCPNA) originating from India. The duty Anti CVD + ADD imposed comes
to around 51%. The major manufacturer of the product OCPNA is M/s. Aarti
Industries Ltd. Their production capacity is around 5000 MTPA. The domestic Indian
market is around 2500 MTPA which is catered by them, rest is exported. They export
around 2000 MT to China where demand is around 5000MTPA. The Chinese
petitioner is a sole manufacturer.

 Antidumping on Meta Phenoxy Benzaldehyde (MPBD) H.S. Code No.


291229900.
India was exporting huge quantity of Meta Phenoxy Benzaldehyde (an intermediate
required for manufacture of some synthetic pyrethroid technical grade pesticides) for
last so many years. This intermediate falls under H.S. Code No. 291229900. But since
last one and a half year China Government has imposed large amount (between 40 to
55%) of Anti- Dumping duty on Indian manufacturer/exporters of this
intermediate. The Indian industry represented to the concerned Ministry in China
Government for withdrawal of Anti-dumping duty but could not succeed.

 China REACH related issues faced by exporters:

A. Many chemicals, which are not included in the China “Inventory of Existing Chemical
Substances Produced or Imported in China (IECSC)”, are present in the national chemical
inventories of many countries. Chemical not listed in China IECSC inventory require
registration under Chinese Ministry of Envt. Protection (MEP) Order 7 prior to
manufacture/import. Many chemicals which China is importing since many years are not
listed in IECSC, now exporter going for such product registration shall face unnecessary
regulatory burden and loss of time.

B. After completing the new chemical substance (not listed in IECSC) notification, new
substances will be divided into three categories: General substance, Hazardous substance
and Environmentally priority management substance. General new substances will be added
onto IECSC 5 years since the date of the first commencement of manufacturing or
importation. However, the MEE has very slower speed for processing and working on that.
This needs to get speedier and China is not adding chemicals to the IECSC even after
completion of five years. This is again an extra regulatory layer for exporter.

 Exports of Ethylene Glycol Mono Ethyl Ether and Di-Ethylene Glycol Mono Ethyl Ether (HS
No.29094400)

The export volume of India Glycols Ltd to China stands substantially reduced as the local
prices in China are very low. Ethylene Oxide which is the main feedstock for these
products is priced very low in China (nearly US$ 200 lower than other markets).

Most companies use EO made from petro-route. Today crude is priced low so EO price is
also low. India Glycols Ltd produces EO from renewable agro-feedstock i.e ethanol, so
end product price is high and difficult to compete with local China prices. Also
competition products like Butyl Glycols and PM are priced low.

Further, the China government has imposed stringent inspection and control on import
of Haz Chemical products in China.

INDONESIA
i. Duty- disadvantage Indian DYES exports to Indonesia vis.a.vis China

India has FTA with ASEAN nations, but the concessions are only limited. Whereas
supplies from China to these ASEAN nations is against NIL duty which impacts
competitiveness. For instance, we draw your attention to below HS Codes
pertaining to Dyes and Dye Intermediates where our export items (under
Chemexcil’s purview) are attracting concessional tariff of up-to 4.0% under AIFTA,
but the same item when exported by Chinese supplier to Indonesia is allowed
at Zero duty. Due to this duty differential, there is lack of level playing field which
adversely impacts competitiveness of our exporters.

For example, some of the HS codes are as under:

ii. Duty Inversion faced by Olechemicals/ Toilet Soap Manufacturers:

Since the ASEAN FTA came in force in 2010, import duty of most of the oleochemicals got
reduced and became NIL in 2014 while all the raw materials used to manufacture these
oleochemicals were kept out of purview of the FTA and hence its import duties remained
very high. Hence , primary anomaly of ASEAN FTA exemptions is the Inverted Duty
structure wherein the raw materials [viz., Fatty Acids, Oils and its derivatives) are leviable to
Customs Duty while the finished goods (viz., the Fatty Alcohol, Soap Noodles, etc ) are
allowed without any Customs duty i.e., NIL rated. This has resulted in a surge of imports of
Fatty alcohols as well as other oleochemicals like soap noodles from these ASEAN
countries and the domestic Oleochemical industries have since been facing significant
challenges and incurring huge losses.

The ASEAN countries further inflicted injury by imposing Export Tax on export of raw
materials viz., Crude Fatty Acids, Oils and its derivatives but not imposed any such Export
Tax on Finished goods export viz. Fatty Alcohol, Distilled Fatty Acids, Soap Noodles, etc.
The ASEAN countries thus subverted Free Trade Agreement ( FTA ) wherein these
countries got duty free access to the large Indian market for their Finished products viz.
Fatty Alcohols and other finished products while they taxed raw material exports viz. Oils
and Crude Fatty Acids and thereby discouraged manufacturing value added products
outside their own countries. This lead to a double impact for Indian domestic
manufacturers of Fatty Alcohol, since the raw materials suffered export duty in the
exporting country and also import duty in India, whereas the finished product viz. Fatty
Alcohol neither suffered export duty in the origin country nor suffered any import duty in
India. The Indian Oleochemical Industry had been continuously representing to the
Government for removing this anomaly - to impose customs duty on Fatty Alcohol
imports from ASEAN countries and for granting customs duty exemptions to the raw
materials viz., Oils and its derivatives (such as PFAD/PKFAD/ Palm Stearin/Fatty acids)
when it is imported for manufacture of Oleochemicals.

In order to give some relief and to help to reduce the inverted duty structure, the Govt to a
certain extent, accepted the representation and in July 2014, granted Customs duty
exemption to the imports of the Fatty Acids, Oils and its derivatives with a condition of end
use for manufacture in Oleochemicals (please refer notification 12/2014-Cus dated 11th
July 2014). Likewise the duty on Palm Stearin also fully exempted with the same condition in
May 2017 (please refer notification 18/2017-Cus dated 09th May 2017.

It is pertinent to note that there is NO import substitution possibility for the raw materials
required for manufacture of fatty alcohol. It was only against this backdrop that the Govt. of
India in all its wisdom had provided Duty exemption for the imports of these Inputs against
"Actual User condition" all these years since July 2014.

In the recent Union Budget 2019, the Government has withdrawn the Customs Duty
exemptions for the import of raw materials viz., Fatty Acids, Oils and its derivatives (please
refer notification 25/2019-Customs dated 6th July 2019 amending Notification No. 50/2017
dated 30.06.2017) while continuing to allow Customs Duty exemptions under the ASEAN
FTA on all oleochemicals such as Fatty Alcohols/soap noodles etc for imports from ASEAN
countries. Imports statistics available with the Govt. can be analysed to see that there has
been a substantial growth in imports oleochemicals, for eg. Fatty alcohol imports has grown
from around 45000 Mt in 2015-16 to more than 77000 MT in 2018-19 while the total Indian
Fatty Alcohol market is estimated to be about 100,000 MT.

Government's decision to withdraw these Customs Duty exemptions is the final nail in the
coffin on the domestic oleochemicals (mainly Fatty Alcohols) manufacturers and has
resulted in to the Inverted Duty structure - since the raw materials viz. Oils and Fatty Acids
incur the Customs duty on imports while Fatty Alcohols from ASEAN countries come in at
NIL duty. It is pertinent to mention here that entire import of Fatty Alcohols and other
oleochemicals is only coming from the ASEAN countries under FTA duties. This has totally
defeated our efforts of Make in India of these value added oleochemicals products.

 Duty Disadvanatge faced by Castor Oil derivatives in Indonesia

India has FTA with ASEAN nations, but there are limited concessions on the below
mentioned items:

KOREA/ JAPAN

 Import of Sodium Cyanide:


One of our members (M/. Hindusthan Chemicals Company) have represented
that Sodium Cyanide is getting imported from Korea and Japan at concessional rates
(Japan-1.4% and South Korea- NIL) under FTAs. The MFN rate is 7.5%.
Member has highlighted that their production capacity is around 6000 MT, whereas the
Korean and Japanese exporters have huge capacity (Nippon Soda-
18,000MPTA, Tongsuh Petrochemicals- 70,000MTPA and Taekwang Industrial-
92,000MTPA). Due to high scales of production, these suppliers have
inherent advantage over India, which is further strengthened due to Lower
tariffs. They have requested removal of these items from existing FTA’s
and adequate care in RCEP.

 South Korea- TBT/SPS


The amended Act on Registration and Evaluation of Chemical Substances in South Korea
(also known as K-REACH) was promulgated in March 2018 and has come into force on 1
Jan 2019. K-REACH pre-notification has started from 1 Jan 2019 and will end on 30 June
2019. If someone is exporting chemicals to South Korea, then they have to consider
making pre-registration / notification of chemicals under K-REACH before 30th June
2019 using a reputed Only Representative (OR) located in South Korea. Only Korean
manufacturers and importers are obligated to register chemical substances under K-
REACH. However, Foreign manufacturers (Non- Korean manufacturers) may appoint
Korea-based only representatives to submit chemical registrations on their behalf. This
regulation will be sort hindrance for exports.

 South Korea - Anti-dumping duty on Ethyl Acetate

South Korea has imposed Anti-dumping duty on Indian product Ethyl Acetate. Although their
local manufacturing capacity is not sufficient to fulfill their requirement. Needs to be removed.

Additional important points for RCEP:

 M/s. Godrej Industries (RCEP points for Oleochemicals)


I. RCEP is a proposed trade agreement between ASEAN countries,
Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Korea, China and India. It represents 32% of
world GDP and 28% of world trade.
II. Of these India has a trade agreement with all the above countries
except China. India enjoys zero duty on most products with all the countries who
are members of the RCEP barring China.
III. Most exporters are against RCEP since they fear China would dump
material into India. This alongwith the impact of India- ASEAN FTA could hurt
our domestic market.
IV. Currently China ia a net importer in India in most of our HS Codes:
a. HS codes Product % import %
export India Status
i. 2915 Fatty
Acids 7% negligible Net importer
ii. 3823 Fatty
Acids 1% 6% Net exporter
iii. 2915 Fatty
Alcohol negligible negligible
iv. 3823 Fatty
Alcohol 38% 15% Net importer
v. 3402 Surfactants
6% negligible Net importer
vi. (% is the percentage of the total
export / import of the product in USD mn)

V. Export tax applicable on Indian imports of vegetable oils from


Indonesia and Malaysia plus the customs duty, which adds to the cost of our
products.
VI. Under China-ASEAN FTA, China can import vegetable oils at zero
duty produce Fatty Acids / Fatty Alcohols and export to India under the RCEP,
making our products uncompetitive.
VII. Currently the high incidence of duties on our products by China
makes it difficult to export to China especially against the ASEAN countries who
have the advantage of zero duty under the China-ASEAN FTA.
VIII. Rapeseed Oil based products of Behenic, Erucic Acids and Behenyl
Alcohol must be protected to retain the competitive edge that India has being the
second largest producer of Rapeseed Oils.
IX. We must have a robust offensive and defensive strategy vis- a-vis
China in case we go ahead with RCEP (SENSITIVE LIST ENCLOSED)
X. RCEP would give an advantage to China in the current US-China
trade war since they can access newer regions like Japan, which has not been too
receptive towards China. This could also impact Indian exports to Japan.

 M/s. Godavari Bio-Refineries

i. Ethyl Acetate: HS code 29153100


To restrict the import of Ethyl Acetate in India from RCEP countries, Indian
production of Ethyl Acetate is 6 Lakh MT P.A & local consumption is 4.5 Lakh MT
P.A. Therefore Local manufacture is underutilizing it's production capacity & are
forced to export its balance quantity at a lower price in the international
market. In this situation, if Ethyl Acetate is imported in India from China at a
lower price, the local manufacturer can't survive & have to shut down its
production for that period. Hence We request to impose non-tariff barriers for
this product

ii. CROTONALDEHYDE: HS Code: 29121910


Indian is producing 6000 MT P.A. of Crotonaldehyde & its local consumption is
2500 MT P.A., Therefore excess capacity is exported to the international market
at a lower price, in this situation, China is selling its material (crotonaldehyde) at
a lower price in the Indian market forcing the local manufacturer to shut down
its production for that period. We request to impose non-tariff barriers for this
product

 Jayant Agro-Organics Ltd

i. We strongly feel that India should continue to be part of RCEP


negotiation and should not isolate from the process.
ii. In case of our product viz. Castor Oil and Castor Oil Derivatives the
present position of Import tariff when our goods are exported to these countries
are as per the Annexure I to XV attached herewith.
iii. We draw your attention especially to Indonesia, where duties under
ASEAN FTA continue to be on higher side
iv. We request our council to kindly recommend 0% duty under ASEAN
FTA in case of countries like Indonesia, Thailand for Castor oil, Cambodia,
Myanmar etc.

 M/s. Reliance Indsutries (Export of Paraxylene, Orthoxylene and


Benzene (Issue raised by Reliance Industries)
The export quantity for Paraxylene, Benzene and Ortho xylene from India is as given
below

Reliance Export KT

India needs to export above products competitively and faces massive


challenge from China. China is adding about 13 MMTPA of PX and 3.30 MMTPA
of Benzene capacities from now till end of 2021. Subsidies given by China to its
manufacturers makes Indian manufacturers uncompetitive due to lack
of adequate MEIS/ROSTL benefit. This is apart from lower Power and Finance
cost that producers in China enjoy. After the abolition of DEPB, Focus product and
Focus market schemes exports from India have come down substantially. While we
have built competitive plants of world scale we suffer from additional costs as
mentioned below and have to compete with producers in China and Korea who have
excess capacities and enjoy many subsidies. USTR report on China comprehensively
deals with subsidies offered in China. We need support from the Government in
order to remain competitive. China gives many subsidies to its exporters who are
able to export to any part of the world. Same is true with Korea. To counter and keep
exports from India competitive the MEIS/ ROSTL benefit on increased from 2% to
4%.

2. LAC

BRAZIL

 ORGANIC/ INORGANIC CHEMICALS (M/S. JUBILANT LIFE SCIENCES LTD)

Brazil’s competitiveness of Ethanol manufacturing can be best utilized by India as the


country is pushing for Ethanol Blending in Gasoline to 10% and still struggling at a level
of ~3%. In such a case India should exempt duty on Ethanol a basic feedstock for many
industries. In return Brazil can reciprocate with zero duty ethanol downstream
products like Ethyl Acetate, Pyridine Derivative, Niacin/Niacinamide etc. This
arrangement will help Brazil to capitalize & maximize its ethanol competitiveness while
India can maximize its manufacturing competitiveness.

Ethanol Based chemical industry in India who is already facing feedstock crisis will be
benefitted by free access of exporting value added compounds going as Vitamins,
Personal care, coating etc. While Brazilian ethanol will get free market access to Indian
chemicals & gasoline blending. Worth mentioning here is that India is fourth largest
gasoline consumer of world with highest growth of Car sales.

 AGROCHEMICALS (Registration of Agrochemicals in Brazil)- Non


Tariff Measure

There is great potential for Agrochemicals in LAC and Brazil is the major market for
these products. However, the procedure for registration of Agrochemicals takes
very long time besides huge documentary requirements which impacts our exports
and needs to taken up for some remedial measures.

 OLEOCHEMICALS (M/S. GODREJ INDUSTRIES LTD)


Brazil is currently the 4th largest market for personal care, fragrances and cosmetic
products. The total market size being around USD 154 billion. According to Mintel, the
cosmetic and beauty care segment alone would show an annual growth of 10.2%
between 2015 –2019. As per exporters understanding, the market size of Long
Chain Fatty Alcohols, which is an ingredient for this sector is currently 25000 mt,
of which Ceto-Stearyl Alcohol is 20000 mt.

Exporter has been exporting different grades of Fatty Alcohols to Brazil falling
under ITS (HS) Chapter 29 & 38, the prominent grade being Ceto Stearyl Alcohol
Hs code 38237090). The NCM Code for this grade in Brazil is 38237010. Given
this huge potential, exporter invested in a supply chain model that would offer the
product on a ‘Just-in-time’ basis. The effective steps taken by exporter to strengthen
the supply chain resulted in getting over 50% market share of the above products.

However in September 2009, Brazil increased the import duty for Ceto Stearyl
Alcohol (38237090) sharply from 2% to 14%. This sharp increase disturbed exports
from India and we were forced to absorb a large part of this duty to ensure that we
maintain a presence in the Brazilian market. However we could not sustain this for too
long and it resulted a huge de-growth.

The table below shows the volumes of exports before and after the increase in the
import duty.

Financial Export Percentage


Year ( April - Volume in drop over
March) mts 2007-2008
2007-2008 11208
2008-2009 7504 33%
2009-2010 7503 33%

2015-2016 2600 77%
2016-2017 1836 84%
2017-2018 2776 75%

The above table shows that since the import duty was increased from 2% to 14% there
has been a steady fall in exports. From a volume of over 11000 mt per year of Ceto-
Stearyl Alcohol in 2007-2008, the volumes have reduced to a mere 2800 mt in 2017-
2018, a drop of 75%. There is urgent need to correct the increase in the import duty of
Ceto-Stearyl Alcohol, else it would be difficult to regain the lost market and huge market
with a promising potential would be lost forever.

It must be noted that this increase in the import duty coincided with the setting
up of a manufacturing unit by a large local company in Brazil producing Ceto
Stearyl Alcohol among other products. This is a clear case of a Trade Barrier where
exporters have to face a 14% import duty while the local manufacturer has free access
to the markets in Brazil.
It is requested to push for removal of such trade barriers eliminated and to ensure that
such high import duties are not slapped on the other Fatty Alcohols falling under the
chapters 29 and 38.

 ESSENTIAL OILS (M/s. RAKESH GROUP)- Non Tariff Measure

We understand from the exporter that they have experienced issues while
sending Samples of Essential oils etc to their important Buyers in Brazil. The details
about the Problems are given as Below :

 For Promotion of Export Business, Free Trade 5- 10 ML Samples having No


Commercial value are being sent to important Buyers in Brazil. For Customs
Clearance at Destination in Brazil, Health Certificate is needed and lot of
formalities are to be completed.

 As a result of lot efforts, 50% Shipment of Samples are being released and
delivered to Buyers in Brazil and the remaining 50% undelivered are destroyed.

We request you to kindly take up this matter to sort out the above problem for
development of export business.

 CASTOR OIL & DERIVATIVES (M/s. Jayant Agro Organics Ltd)

They are exporters of castor oil derivatives to Brazil which are being
exported under Chapter nos. 15, 29 and 38 etc. The applicable import duty
being levied by Brazil customs is as under:

ITC

There is severe competition in the international market for export of castor


oil derivatives and removal of such trade barriers shall boost export of
these derivatives to Brazil.

BASIC COMMON HURDLES FOR LAC COUNTRIES

While an excellent market for Indian chemical products, Latin American chemical sector
has several challenges to importers, including:

 Language issue
 Long Distance – Any shipment takes 45- 60 days.
 The profit margins are thin to absorb warehousing charges

 Product registration: Several chemical products, including raw materials, must be


registered with governmental agencies and may also require registration with
municipal, state and federal agencies. E.g. Agrochemicals – Although Brazil is very big
market, it is dominated by multinationals because of registration process which takes
minimum 7 years and is very costly and involves many trials.

 Import taxes and duties: LAC’s costly and complex cascading tax system and import
duties can be challenging for some Indian chemical companies. However, Most of Latin
American countries chemical importers and customers trust in the quality of Indian
chemicals and, in some cases, may opt to pay more for Indian products. Suppliers in
other countries like USA, China, Germany, France and UK are the strongest competitors
for Indian exporters.

 Competition from Mercosur: Fellow member countries like,Brazil, Argentina,


Paraguay and Uruguay can trade with them with lower or no taxes.
 Mercosur International Agreements: Chemical suppliers within Mercosur member
countries benefit from several unilateral and regional international agreements.
3. EU

 REACH Issue in EU

The EU has implemented a legislation called as Registration, Evaluation and Authorization


of Chemicals (REACH) that came into force from June 1, 2007. REACH applies to all
companies that do business with the EU, located both in the Union and outside of it.
Complying with REACH takes a lot of time, effort and cost for Indian companies. This
increases the costs for Indian companies and improve competitiveness of local
companies in EU. Thus, REACH has the potential to reduce chemical exports from India to
the EU. Companies cannot afford the option of not complying as that would shut the
European market for these companies.

 Inclusion of Chapter 28 and 29 items under EU GSP

Though w.e.f. GSP is re-instated for many of the chemical items w.e.f 1st January 2017,
but organic and inorganic chemicals are excluded. It is requested to Push for inclusion
of organic/ inorganic chemicals in re-instated GSP benefit which will provide better
market access.

4. OCEANIA (AUS/NZ)
 Market Access Issues/ NTB’s: Certain biological Biological products (Dehydrated Culture
Media HS Code. 38210000 & 38220000, Peptone & Tryptone HS Code- 35040010) are
difficult to export to Australia as they are not allowed. Unfortunately Indian origin products
with animal source are not allowed to be exported there. These products are mainly used in
the field of Industrial Microbiology, Clinical microbiology etc . Although exporters
have necessary supporting documents/ testing reports and international Quality
management & food safety systems are already in place & strictly followed too. But the
restrictions are a deterrent.

 Customs Tariffs: Applicable on Indian exports of many items is still 5% (Dyes, Basic
chemicals, Cosmetics etc). Nil/ lower duties will boost exports from India.

 Fluorescent Brightening Agents/Optical Brightening Agents falling under Tariff Item


No. 3204.2010 has good export potential due to following reasons:
o There are many paper mills in Australia/New Zealand – Australia being one
of the 5 major paper producing countries in the world.

o The consumption of fluorescent brightening agents in these two countries is


substantial.

o Australia does not manufacture these chemicals and as such a big scope for
imports from India exists.

o To fight competition from China and Korea – freight is low from these
countries due to their proximity – duty concessions are required.

o The same is true for paper dyes used by these countries.

5. NAFTA
 USA being a regulated market, has requirement of registration for

agrochemicals products which can be prohibitive for small companies.


 Withdrawal of GSP will impact competitiveness of chemical exporters.
 Any other SPS/ TBT measures which might enhance compliance cost

6. SAARC
Following points need to be considered regarding Bangladesh:

Ø PAYMENTS/ BANKING SYSTEM: It is noticed that even in L/c backed


orders, importers are able to release the documents from the bank without
remitting payment and manage to take delivery of the consignment. Subsequently,
payments are received after 40-50 days even on sight L/c’s which is a
concern. High Bank Charges: Also there are instances of banks deducting very
high bank charges (up-to $175-$225 per shipment) without pointing out any
discrepancy. Though above are banking issues, delays in L/c backed shipments
or deduction of high charges impacts realisation and future business.

Ø MULTIPLE ENTRY VISA: We understand that Bangladesh is generally issuing


Multiple Entry visa of One/Three month duration. This might be a hindrance to
frequent business travellers from India to Bangladesh. In contrast, India is issuing
Visa to Bangladeshi nationals of much longer duration. Any relaxation in this
regard will be helpful.

Ø BENAPOLE-PETRAPOLE CONGESTION: The congestion at Land borders is a well


known issue and sometimes transit time is almost 30 days. Steps be taken
to address traffic congestion at Petrapole in India and Benapole in Bangladesh, the
border points.
Following points need to be considered regarding Nepal:

Ø Currency of export INR / Lack of export incentives:


In case of Nepal, the export is allowed in Rupee terms only and when there are no
Dollar transactions involved, no export benefit accrue to the Exporter (DBK etc),
thereby making them less competitive. In case exports is done in USD/ FCC, the
Indian exporter would be entitled to import their raw materials at NIL rate of duty
and this benefit can be shared with the Nepalese customers and boost exports from

India.

7. WANA

 TRADE ISSUES RELATED TO YEMEN (restriction import of chemicals


and pesticides used in agriculture sector)

Our member M/s. Scientific Fertilisers Ltd have sent representation regarding
restriction on import of chemicals and pesticides into Yemen which go into agriculture
sector. We understand that an intimation of not allowing import of any chemicals
fertilizer/pesticides for agriculture use has been issued.

Kindly note that Yemen is a major agriculture economy and in spite of the current
situation, still agriculture is going on and there is market in Yemen to buy Indian
products. However, no shipping line is coming forward to accept the cargo in view
of the notification from Yemen which will adversely impact exports (Intimation
enclosed)

We had represented this issue to FT-WANA, DOC on 20/05/2019 instant and


await feed-back. As per latest discussion with the exporter, the issue is unresolved as
shipping lines are not taking cargo for Port Aden (Yemen).
We request you to kindly note of the above issue so that the same could be taken up
appropriately for resolution in the interest of chemicas exports from India.

 TRADE ISSUES RELATED TO EGYPT

The issues related to Egypt are highlighted earlier to FT-AFRICA on 20/05/2019 for
resolution (copy enclosed). For the sake of convenience, the same are highlighted as
follows:

 High Legalisation costs of shipping documents/ Delays:


Export shipping documents (Invoice etc) have to be legalised by Egyptian Mission/
Consulate in India. We understand that the fee of stamping one page by
Egyptian Mission is around INR 4000/-. In addition, there will be courier/
consultant charges specially if exporter is out-stationed where embassy/ consulate
is not located. So on an average, the cost of document legalisation per shipment
(regardless of size) is around USD 150 (Rs. 10,000/-) . This adds directly to
transaction costs and competitiveness of exporters, as they have no option but to
incur legalisation cost or leave the order.

Besides, the legalisation cost, the time taken is also a hindrance and can go up-to 7
days, as before legalisation by the Embassy, the documents are first attested by local
municipal office. Since the shipping time to Egyptian Ports is around 15
days, exporters are hard-pressed to deliver the documents to their Egyptian
Consignee before ship reaches Egyptian port.

 Currency Availability issues:


Though buyers are willing to place orders, but availability of Forex is an issue as a result,
buyers place small orders. As pointed earlier, even for small order legalisation cost is
incurred (USD 150) which pushes up the price. Like in case of Iran, an alternative
payment mechanism can also be explored to facilitate trade.
 ILAC Certificate requirement (TBT):
In February 2016, Egypt has come out with the a TBT (Technical Barrier to
Trade) related to certain cosmetics items ( Hair dyes, soaps etc) etc that the
exporter should also provide a certificate that the producer maintains a quality
control system. The certificate should be issued by entities accredited by the
International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) or the
International Accreditation Forum (IAF) or an Egyptian or foreign
governmental entity approved by the Minister of Foreign Trade.
Above requirement is a hindrance as every manufacturing unit cannot afford or
maintain ILAC compliant laboratory (mail from member enclosed)

 The above issues are ones reported by the members and similar problems could have been
faced by other exporters in other WANA countries as well.

 Countries like Syria, Sudan etc face issues related to OFAC such as payments, reluctance of
ECGC to cover risk. Exporters have also reported difficulty in closure of eBRC’s in such
shipments leading to caution listing.

8. FT-AFRICA

 TRADE ISSUES RELATED TO KENYA

 Mandatory SGS inspection even for small orders: This country stipulates that all
consignments be inspected by SGS International before these are shipped. This is OK
for large/ FCL orders, but they also this apply this condition even to the smallest
trial consignments valued at USD 200-300. This is not only cumbersome but also
adds to the cost of goods. (mail from member enclosed)

 Custom Clearance Issues/ Scam at Mombasa Port:


In the past the council has received few complaints wherein the buyers
of neighbouring West African countries (Uganda) have asked for transhipment at
Mombasa Port. Once consignments reach Mombasa a local Kenyan company
will file B/E for import and but shall not clear the goods. We have been given
to understand that in Mombasa, B/E once filed cannot be cancelled and after
some time they are referred to Kenyan Revenue Authority for auction. Even if
material doesn’t go for auction, the cost of demurrage is so high that Indian
company has no option to leave the material in Mombasa itself and incur losses.

We had taken up the case with Indian Embassy in Nairobi and Asst. High
Commission, Mombasa. They probably tried their best, but it was not
enough. Another problem with this scam is that eventual consignee is not in
Kenya but other country (Uganda), but the goods are in Kenya which creates
confusion on actual culprit and line of action. Here we would like to share that
are few ongoing Bank fraud cases in Uganda which were reported to the High
Commission. Ultimately one of the exporter has taken legal recourse, but matter is
unresolved.

 TRADE ISSUES RELATED TO NIGERIA

The impediments to trade in Nigeria are attributed to the following factors:

 High Import Duties:

Import duties in Nigeria for some of oleo-chem products are extremely high.
With no trade pact in place this is a high cost which deters trade.

CUSTOMS DUTY IN NIGERIA


Product hexa-decan- Other Non-ionic Emulsifying
Description 1-ol (Cetyl (organic organic wax
alcohol) and surface surface
octadecan-1- active agents active agents
ol (Stearyl - other than

HS CODE 29051700 34021190 34021300 34049090

5% 35% 20% 10%


Imports duties from ASEAN Countries is lower. In addition to this there is a VAT
charged on some products.

 Form M:

Form M is mandatory to do business in Nigeria. In the absence of this Form no


trade can take place since the remittance of forex is linked this Form. Getting
Form M is a cumbersome process and is considerably delayed which impacts
trade.

 Availability of USD:
In recent times there is a crunch of availability of USD in Nigeria for international
trade. This has a negative impact on trade, though there is a potential for export.
There have been instances where business is lost in the absence of US Dollars.
This also impacts trade against Letter of Credit since banks do not open L/Cs due
to this shortage.

 Payment Safety/ Issues


While doing business with Nigeria exporters are very cautious and prefer
working with advance payment and even not LC. Local banks ((Indian bank) fear
discounting on LC received from Nigeria as they could be fake. This is a major
hindrance in exports.

 Congestion in Port/ High Freight Charges

There is a congestion in the port in Nigeria. This affects clearance and increases
costs due to port charges. The shipping lines too factor this in their freight due to
which the ocean freight is also higher.

Usual Freight Charges from Mundra, India to Apapa Port, Nigeria is 1100USD to
1300USD/20Ft and 2100USD to 2300USD/40 Ft, however the current Freight
Charges are ranges from 2300USD to 2500USD/20Ft and 3300USD to
3500USD/40Ft due to port congestion. Further, demurrage is pre calculated and
collected from supplier which ranges around 700USD/20Ft and 900USD/40Ft.
Due to high freight and demurrage charges we are not able to provide our
products at competent price.

 VISA Process and Charges:


VISA process is complicated and we need to wait for about a month to get our VISA
processed. Further VISA charges are also high which ranges from INR 8500 to INR
12000 depending upon the timing.

 TRADE ISSUES RELATED TO TANZANIA

 One of our member who is exporting food flavours and ingredients, perfumery
compounds for soaps and toiletries has reported that the guidelines by TFDA
(Tanzania FDA) for import of food products, ingredients are very vague and
their importers find it difficult to comply with these. Also there is too much
information sought on the label used for food ingredients Like flavours,
concentrates et. The authorities expect each flavour (exporter has more than 5000)
to be registered. This not only involves lot of paper work But also tremendous cost
which can make products uncompetitive (mail from member enclosed).

 Tanzania is the only country where with each commercial shipment, exporters
are expected to send a fresh set of samples which are submitted to the government
authorities for “Radiation” tests which is a hassle (mail from member enclosed).

 TRADE ISSUES RELATED TO UGANDA

In the past the council has received few complaints of B/L fraud involving
buyers in Uganda. Also there was case of exporter getting stuck in Mombasa Port
as Uganda buyer wanted delivery in Mombasa, Kenya and became victim of scam as
explained in Kenya issues. These cases were reported to the High
Commission. Ultimately one of the exporter had taken legal recourse which is very
expensive.
Our Request/ Suggestions:

 The above issues are ones reported by the members and similar problems could have
been faced by us in other African markets as well.

 Payment related issues have always existed in majority of African countries


(specially East and West). In this regard, ECGC plays an important role by offering
credit risk insurance so that exporters can expand business without fearing for their
payments. They can regularly send updates to EPC’s on prevailing policy on credit
risk insurance offered, so that we could also update our members.

 Mechanism be set up to address B/L, LC fraud related cases faced by exporters in


African markets. Exporters (specially MSMEs’) own their own would find it difficult
to retain lawyers and fight such cases.

 Moreover, the visa process can also be expedited for an important market like
South Africa. For instance, India offers visa on arrival to South Africans, but for
getting South African business visa it takes minimum 5 to 7 working days in addition
to lot of documents. Similar issues are faced in other African markets also.
