Minimum Import Price on ATS-8 and Sulfadiazine API extended up to 30 November 2026: DGFT Notifications No. 39/2026-27 and 40/2026-27

Two notifications, one date

On 30 September 2026 DGFT issued two notifications under sections 3 and 5 of the Foreign Trade (Development & Regulation) Act, 1992 read with paragraphs 1.02 and 2.01 of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023. Both extend an existing Minimum Import Price (MIP) condition on items under Chapter 29 of ITC (HS), 2022, Schedule-I (Import Policy), and both run up to 30 November 2026.

ATS-8: the codes covered

Notification No. 39/2026-27 records that the MIP on ATS-8 applies to imports under these ITC (HS) codes:

• 29329990, 29339990, 29333990, 29321990, 29349990;
• 29420090, 29189990, 29159099, 29163990 and 29225090.

Sulfadiazine API

Notification No. 40/2026-27 describes the item as Sulfadiazine API covered under Chapter 29 of ITC (HS) 2022, Schedule-I (Import Policy). It does not list individual eight-digit codes.

What stays the same

In both cases the notification says that all other terms and conditions of the original notification remain the same. Neither notification changes the price or adds a new condition; each extends only the period. Both are issued with the approval of the Minister of Commerce & Industry.
