However, based on the existing policy set by MITI, the products below are given flexibility in which the product can undergo testing upon reaching the Country :-

Iron & Steel (below 250 mt)
Float Glass, Fiber Cement Flat Sheet, Insulation Material and Radient Barrier (from 31 January 2014 till 31 Mar 2014 only).

Application for Certificate of Approval(COA)

The program is part of the Customs Act (Prohibition on Import) 1988 Amendment 2003/2004 to ensure the quality of imported construction products.
