Such clothing are not necessarily damaged or frayed at the edges. CMAI is of the view that India produces sufficient clothing to feed not only its own population but also to clothe the world. There is therefore no dearth of worn clothing in India. We urge a total ban on imports of secondhand clothing.
CMAI also urges the Govt to exclude garments from standard weights & measures act. CMAI also urges the Govt to remove excise duty on production of garment trimmings such as snap fasteners, rivets, tags, labels etc as imports of these items are exempted not only from basic custom duty but also from countervailing duty thus discouraging the development of the trim industry in India
The Clothing Manufacturers Association of India warmly welcomes the decision of Mumbai Municipal Corporation to remove octroi duty on fabrics & garments. With this removal, Mumbai
City will benefit greatly with smaller factories & businesses coming back within city limits and the unnecessary duplication of having operations both within & outside the city will stop.
This will generate additional employment and increase the trade in Mumbai. It will reduce the delay, paperwork & general hassles in getting various raw materials from out of the city limits.
