WHAT IS SCOMET?

WHAT IS SCOMET?
Exporting certain types of chemicals, organisms, materials, equipment, and technology requires a special license or no objection certificate from the Director General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). This category of products is known as SCOMET. It is important for exporters to determine whether their products fall under the SCOMET category before exporting, to avoid unnecessary delays at the port.

Some products that come under the SCOMET category include engineering products, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and plastic products. If an exporter fails to obtain the proper certificate or NOC, their shipment may be held at the port, causing delays and missed shipment schedules.

Recently, an exporter faced this issue when their ferroalloys shipment was held at the port due to a lack of proper certification. This delay caused the exporter to miss their shipment schedule, resulting in financial losses and damage to their reputation.

To avoid such situations, it is crucial for exporters to take necessary precautions and obtain the required certifications before exporting SCOMET products. Exporters should check with the DGFT to determine whether their products come under the SCOMET category and take the necessary steps to obtain the required certification. This will not only save time and money but also help maintain their reputation as reliable exporters.
