New Delhi, the 18th February, 1985
SUBJECT:—Import of Machinery, components thereof, equipment, other commodities and raw materials from U.S.A. under the AID programme.
42 1 HE GAZE! 1E OF INDIA EXTRAORDINARY [£AUT I-SEC. I]2. AID may, at its sole discretion, waive the requirement of "Notice to U.S. Business" for particular purchases. For this purpose, the licensee should apply- In advance to AID, Washington through the Department of Industry requesting grant of a "Waivpr" with full justification for the request and supported by docu- mentary evidence, where necessary. The Department of Industry will after satis- fying themselves that a prima /acle case for "Waiver" exists, process the application with AID, Washington and when AID's decision in the matter is received the same will be communicated to the licensee. The licensee cannot finalise orders on the particular U.S. supplier unless and until his request for "waiver" is Rranted by AID, Washington,
3. A few instances have come to notice where licensees had ilnalised orders and imported the goods without complying with the "Notice to U.S. Business" require- ments or obtaining a "waiver" from AID; Washington prior to placement of orders. Compliance with the "Notice to U.S. Business" requirements or securing a "waiver" from AID, Washington prior to placing of orders is a fundamental condition for AID financing the imports under the applicable Loan Agreement. Importers hold- Ing licences granted to them against various AID Loans mentioned above are, therefore, cautioned that non-compliance with the "Notice to U.S. Business" re- quirements or failure to obtain "waivers" from AID prior to placing of orders, is a violation of the condition of the licence and will result in appropriate action under the Imports and Exports (Control) Act.
