The commerce ministry has invited stakeholders to provide their insights on the draft Internal Compliance Programme aimed at assisting the export of dual-use SCOMET items.

SCOMET, an acronym for special chemicals, organisms, materials, equipment, and technologies, refers to goods with dual-use applications necessitating stringent export control regulations.

Industries involved in the export of these goods are required to set up comprehensive internal policies, known as an Internal Compliance Programme (ICP), to ensure adherence to these regulations. Interested parties have been given a 10-day window to submit feedback to the Directorate.
