Government approved new import-export policy and Export Policy and the Export Development Strategy Paper (EDSP) proposal yesterday, which will be operational for 2006-2009 period.
Under these schemes without Letters of Credit (LC), the import-limit would be extended from US $25,000 to $35,000.
Meanwhile the limit of sample textile raw material import for RMG clothing exporters has also been raised to 0.3 percent from the current 0.2 percent.
