DGFT issues clarification on submission of pre-shipment inspection certificate

DGFT has decided that a scanned copy of the PSIC document may be accepted in place of a physical copy for the purpose of Customs clearance. However, the importer has to provide an undertaking to the concerned Custom Authority at the time of the clearance. The original physical copy of the PSIC needs to be submitted to Customs within 60 days of the clearance.
