DGFT Issues New SION for Betamethasone Valerate, Ferrous Fumarate, Ferrous Fumarate (Maleic Anhydride)

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), under the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, has issued Public Notice No. 16/2025-26, dated July 2025, announcing the fixation of three new Standard Input Output Norms (SIONs) under the “Chemical and Allied Product” category (Product Code: ‘A’). This development is set to streamline and enhance trade practices for exporters in the chemical sector.

Key Highlights of the Notification:

The newly introduced SIONs are as follows:

SION No. A-3690
- Export Product: Betamethasone Valerate EP/BP/USP
- Export Quantity: 1 kg
- Import Item: Betamethasone
- Allowed Import Quantity: 0.915 kg
SION No. A-3691
- Export Product: Ferrous Fumarate USP/BP/FCC/IP
- Export Quantity: 1 kg
- Import Item: Fumaric Acid 99%
- Allowed Import Quantity: 0.725 kg
SION No. A-3692
- Export Product: Ferrous Fumarate USP/BP/FCC/IP
- Export Quantity: 1 kg
- Import Item: Maleic Anhydride
- Allowed Import Quantity: 0.65 kg

Impact of the Notification:

The introduction of these SIONs is a significant step forward for exporters in the chemical and allied product sector. By clearly defining the input-output norms, the DGFT aims to simplify the export process, ensure compliance, and promote efficiency in trade operations. These norms will help exporters accurately calculate the permissible import quantities required for manufacturing their export products, thereby reducing ambiguities and fostering smoother trade practices.

Why This Matters:

The chemical industry plays a vital role in India’s export economy, and the addition of these SIONs reflects the government’s commitment to supporting this sector. Exporters can now benefit from a more structured framework, enabling them to plan their operations effectively and remain competitive in the global market.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade is the nodal agency responsible for implementing the Foreign Trade Policy of India. Through initiatives like the fixation of SIONs, DGFT continues to facilitate trade and contribute to India’s economic growth.
