Exports of SCOMET items, which include special chemicals, organisms, materials, equipment, and technologies, from India are controlled by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) with the aim of maintaining national security and adhering to international standards on non-proliferation. Governed under the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act, 1992, the licensing of these dual-use items—nuclear materials, toxic chemicals, microbes, and sophisticated technology falling under categories 0–8—is issued upon verification of the end-user and subsequent inter-agency clearances from Defence, External Affairs, and Atomic Energy. Recent amendments simplify procedures for drones, chemicals, and intra-company transfers to 41 countries by promoting compliant trade.

• Covers 8 categories: Nuclear (0), toxins (1–2), materials (3), equipment (4–6), plus new emerging tech like cryogenics.
• Simplified authorizations: General policies for stock & sale, GAICT for subsidiaries, valid for up to 24 months.
• Proliferation risk-free growth: Prevents WMD misuse, allows exports of high value—industry interactions have liberalized rules.
**All are required: No IEC exemptions — applies to firms, and even government departments need clearances.**
