Subject: Clarification regarding Export of "Organic Textiles" - regarding.

Reference is invited to the Policy Circular No. 01/2025-26 dated July 15, 2025 whereby clarified that organic textiles do not fall within the ambit of accreditation categories prescribed under the NPOP. Accordingly, the requirement of a Transaction Certificate (TC) from a NAB-accredited body, as stipulated under Public Notice No. 39/2024-25 dated January 5, 2025, is not applicable to the export of organic textile products.

2. In this regard, It has been confirmed by AEPC, TEXPROCIL, and other stakeholders that exports of organic textiles are certified under globally recognised frameworks such as the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) and Textile Exchange, wherein the Transaction Certificate is issued only upon completion of the export process, based on post-shipment documents including the Shipping Bill, Bill of Lading, and Final Invoice.

3. Accordingly, it has been decided to delete Para 4 of Policy Circular No. 01/2025­26 dated July 15 2025, thereby removing the requirement of submitting the Transaction Certificate at the time of export.

This Circular is issued with the approval of competent authority.
