The Directorate General of Foreign Trade has issued a notification amending the import and export policy for human biological samples used for commercial purposes. Indian diagnostic laboratories and clinical research centers are now permitted to import or export these samples for lab analysis or R&D testing without prior government agency approvals. This is subject to the submission of an undertaking to Customs authorities at the port of entry or exit. The undertaking must confirm adherence to all applicable safety, transfer, and disposal regulations set by WHO, DGFT, and the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change. This policy change aims to streamline the movement of biological samples for research and diagnostic activities.
