Clarification asked on the following:
To our understanding Indian authorities have
already implemented specific requirements for serialisation with respect to
products which are exported.
What are the exact requirements when a product is exported out of India to a country which has another regulation (e.g. France)?
In the secondary packaging section of the guidelines released by GS1 India it states that:
In case the importing country has mandated a specific requirement, the exporter can adhere to the same and it would not be necessary to comply with the above requirement.
The questions are:
1) If the import country has only a requirement to serialize the secondary packaging, would the Indian requirement for primary and tertiary packaging still apply?
2) If the import country has only a requirement to mark the product with datamatrix with GTIN, batch, expiry but not serial number, do we have to print 2 datamatrix on the product (one to comply with the import country requirement and the second for the Indian requirement)?

Clarification
given by GS1 India:
As per the manual, If the importing country has any mandate on any levels of
the packaging, then it can be followed. For rest of the levels DGFT mandate
will apply.
