Osgan Consultants is here to provide you with comprehensive support in obtaining SCOMET licenses, ensuring hassle-free international trade.
Special Chemicals, Organisms, Materials, Equipment, and Technologies (SCOMET) is the nomenclature for dual-use items regulated under India’s Foreign Trade Policy.
SCOMET controls the export and transfer of specific items with strategic applications, including national security, defence, and non-proliferation concerns.
Recently, SCOMET has been introduced as a separate chapter in the new Foreign Trade Policy 2023, emphasizing the importance of compliance.
The SCOMET List is divided into nine categories of items from Category 0 to Category 8. However, Category 7 is presently ‘Reserved’ and has not been populated. The broad classification of different categories under SCOMET List and their jurisdictional licensing authorities are tabulated as under:
SCOMET Category | SCOMET items | Jurisdictional Licensing Authority |
0 | Nuclear materials, nuclear-related other materials, equipment and technology | Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) |
1 | Toxic chemical agents and other chemicals | Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) |
2 | Micro-organisms, Toxins | DGFT |
3 | Materials, Materials Processing Equipment and related Technologies | DGFT |
