The mandatory certification for export of organic products to finished textile products, including yarn, fabrics, made-ups and garments extended by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade DGFT on November 18 has been deferred.

This move came in after Texprocil had urged the commerce ministry to extend the December 18 deadline for mandatory certification to enable the sector to conform to the new procedure.

Industry has welcomed the move stating that organic textile exports would be possible now.
