Import of Sulfadiazine API with CIF value less than Rs. 1,774 per kg is now ‘Restricted’ until September 30, 2026. This restriction does not apply to imports by Advance Authorization holders, Export Oriented Units (EOUs), or units in SEZs, provided the imported inputs are not sold into the Domestic Tariff Area (DTA). Other APIs under Chapter 29 remain under existing import policy conditions.
