CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY

• Freeze drying, also known as lyophilization, is an intriguing preservation method that has completely
changed how we preserve and eat fruits and vegetables. It entails dehydrating fresh produce while
retaining their original flavors, nutritional content, and general standard of excellence. This procedure
yields food products that are easy to rehydrate, lightweight, and shelf-stable, making them practical for
long-term storage, transportation, and consumption.

• The first step in the freeze-drying process is the careful selection of ripe, premium fruits and vegetables.
Then, in order to maintain their cellular structure and avoid the production of ice crystals, these chosen
fruits and vegetables are flash-frozen at extremely low temperatures. The frozen water in the produce
then undergoes a procedure called sublimation, skipping the liquid stage entirely and turning directly
into vapor. Low pressure during the sublimation process further reduces harm to the food's texture and
nutrition.

• The nutritious value of the fruits and vegetables is preserved during the freeze-drying process, which
is one of its major benefits. Freeze-drying maintains the fresh produce's natural enzymes, vitamins,
minerals, and antioxidants, unlike other preservation techniques that use heat or chemical additions.
As a result, even after drying, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables retain their original nutritional profiles,
making them a superior source of important nutrients.

• The longer shelf life of fruits and vegetables that have been freeze-dried is another important
advantage. Produce that has been freeze-dried becomes very stable and spoilage-resistant because the
water content has been removed. Fruits and vegetables that have been freeze-dried can last for months
or even years if they are kept in airtight containers and carefully maintained. They are perfect for
emergency food supplies, camping vacations, hiking, and other situations when fresh produce might
not be easily accessible thanks to their extended shelf life.

• In conclusion, freeze drying has completely changed how fruits and vegetables are preserved, giving
us a technique to preserve their flavor, texture, and nutritional content for longer periods of time. Fruits
and vegetables that have been freeze-dried have a longer shelf life, are more convenient, and are more
adaptable, making them a practical and nutrient-dense choice for anyone looking to increase their
intake of healthful produce.

arrive, these ingredients are carefully examined to make sure they live up to our requirements
for quality. Before moving on to the next steps, any differences are clarified.

2. Sorting Grading:
The supplied raw materials are properly sorted and graded at this stage. This entails choosing
the highest-quality components and tossing out any faulty or inferior ones. Sorting enables the
production process to continue using just the best ingredients.

3. Washing:
The sorted products go through a rigorous cleaning procedure to get rid of pollutants, dirt, and
debris. The final freeze-dried products' cleanliness and safety depend on this process.

4. Cutting / Preparation / Cold Storage:

After washing, the ingredients are cut, sliced, or otherwise prepared as necessary in accordance
with the requirements for the finished product. Then, in order to maintain their freshness until
they go on to the following processes, prepared items are temporarily kept in cold storage.

5. Remove Wastage from Cutting and Preparation:

Any components or waste that cannot be used are carefully removed during the cutting and
preparation procedure. This makes sure that the process only uses portions of the substances
that can be used.

Ingredients that have been prepared are frozen or frozen quickly. Because fewer huge ice
crystals are formed as a result of the goods freezing quickly, the structural integrity of the items
is preserved.

7. Drying in Boiler Machine:

After that, the frozen components are added to a boiler. Heat is given to the frozen goods
through a regulated procedure, causing the ice to instantly change from a solid to a vapour
(sublimation), effectively removing moisture from the goods.

8. Powder:
The dried goods are meticulously processed into powder form when the freeze-drying
procedure is finished. When the products are employed, the powder format improves
convenience, shelf stability, and reconstitution abilities.

Page 11 of 60
9. Sample:
A representative sample of the powdered freeze-dried items is chosen for lab testing before
finalizing the packaging and distribution. This step in the quality assurance process involves
evaluating the items' flavor, texture, scent, and other sensory characteristics. Lab testing makes
that the goods are up to the intended flavor and quality requirements. Based on the input from
the tasting, any necessary modifications can be made to guarantee that clients obtain freeze-
dried meals and vegetables of the highest quality and taste pleasure.

10. Packing:
The freeze-dried and powdered items are expertly arranged in the proper jars, pouches, or other
containers. Products are shielded by packaging from elements like moisture, light, and air that
could degrade their quality.

11. Stock:
The packaged freeze-dried goods are then placed in storage. Until the products are ready to be
transferred to clients or merchants, this inventory is managed to ensure correct rotation and
distribution, ensuring product freshness and quality.

Hamps Bio Pvt. Ltd. carefully manages the entire freeze-drying process to maintain the flavor,
nutritional value, and texture of foods and vegetables while increasing their shelf life, providing

Page 43 of 60
 ❖ Need of the SLI

A seamless and organized export process requires the "Shipment Later Instruction" paper. It acts as a
communication tool that provides important information about the next shipment. Without this
document, the exportation procedure can be complicated, slowed down, or filled with mistakes. The
document facilitates production, logistical, and documentation chores by supplying critical information
up front, guaranteeing that the items are manufactured and sent in accordance with the agreed-upon
terms. The proactive action taken by this document helps the export order function effectively and
successfully overall.

❖ Format of SLI:

4. Annexure-A Export value Declaration (EVD)

An Annexure-A Export Value Declaration (EVD) is a use in export business and international
transaction. The declaration of the actual and exact value of products being exported is frequently
required by customs officials and other relevant government bodies. For the purposes of taxation, tariff
assessment, statistical analysis, and regulatory compliance, the EVD aims to give transparency in the
valuation of exported commodities.

The following are the main points about (EVD):

The main goal of an EVD is to declare the value of the exported items accurately. This is necessary to
generate trade data and to determine the related customs charges, taxes, and tariffs. It assists in
preventing the undervaluation or overvaluation of products, which may result in inaccurate tax
assessments or unfair business practices.

Page 44 of 60
 An EVD normally contains information about the exporter, the consignee, the description of the
exported items, the quantity, the unit price, the total value, the currency of the transaction, the terms of
delivery (Incoterms), and any supplemental costs (such as freight and insurance). The document may
also contain information on the mode of transportation and the destination nation.

Legal and Regulatory Requirements: Declaring the value of exported commodities is subject to a
number of country-specific laws and regulations. The worldwide standards established by bodies like
the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Customs Organization (WCO) are frequently in
line with the rules in question. To guarantee adherence to these rules, an EVD is utilized.

Customs clearance: The importing country's customs authorities utilize the data from the EVD to
determine the precise customs duties and levies that apply to the imported goods. A correctly finished
EVD lowers the possibility of delays brought on by valuation disputes and speeds up the customs
clearance procedure.

Integrity and accuracy: It's crucial to convey correct information about the EVD. Any attempt to
deceive or manipulate the value of commodities may result in penalties, fines, and disruption of the
exporting process.

Document Format: Depending on the nation and its particular requirements, the EVD format may
change. Some nations could demand that a particular form or template be completed, while others
might accept a typical commercial invoice that includes the necessary data.

Submission: The EVD is typically submitted to the appropriate authorities along with other export
papers, such as the commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin. Depending on the
importer's customs policies, the submission may take place electronically or physically.

The exporter is in charge of accurately filling out the EVD and making sure that all pertinent
information is included. Inaccurate information might lead to delays, fees, and other legal
repercussions.

In conclusion, (EVD), which discloses the precise worth of exported products, is a crucial document
in international trade. It guarantees adherence to customs regulations, allows accurate tax and duty
assessment, and adds to the openness and integrity of the exporting process.

5. Part A Slip EWAY Bill

❖ Use Case in Export Business:

Before reaching the port or border, items that are exported from one nation must frequently go through
several stages of transit, including those within the exporting nation. During this initial transfer inside
the exporting nation, the Part A Slip of an E-Way Bill is applicable. The movement of commodities
from the exporter's location to the exit point (such as a port, airport, or land border) inside the same
nation is tracked and declared using this method. This procedure is crucial for guaranteeing adherence
to the exporting nation's legal and tax requirements.

❖ Importance:
In the world of export business, the Part A Slip of an E-Way Bill plays a crucial regulatory role in
ensuring compliance with the tax and legal requirements of the exporting country. This document
streamlines transportation, enables accurate tax and duty benefit application, improves record-keeping,
speeds up customs clearance, reduces disputes, fosters transparency, and averts potential fines or

Page 45 of 60
 disruptions by tracking the movement of goods from the exporter's location to the exit point inside the
nation. Its significance as a crucial tool for supporting the legal and organised movement of
commodities intended for global markets is highlighted by its role in ensuring accountability, effective
logistics, and smooth cross-border trade.

18. Import Export Code

In India, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT), which is a division of the Ministry of
Commerce and Industry, issues Import Export Codes (IECs), which are special 10-digit codes.
Businesses engaging in international trade activities involving the import or export of goods and
services from or to India are required to have the IEC.

The Import Export Code (IEC) is described in the following major details:

Purpose: Tracking and keeping tabs on international commerce transactions is the main goal of an
IEC. It is an essential document for customs clearance and adherence to laws governing international
trade.

Eligibility: Any person or organization that plans to engage in import or export activity is eligible to
apply for an IEC. Manufacturers, traders, exporters, importers, and service providers all fall under this
category.

Application Procedure: You can submit a physical application to the regional DGFT office or submit
an online application for an IEC through the DGFT website. Depending on the type of entity (person,
sole proprietorship, partnership, company, etc.), different documents and information are needed.

Validity: Unless it is suspended or revoked by the DGFT for any reason, an IEC has no expiration date
and is in effect for the whole time that the business entity is in existence.

Uniqueness: Every IEC belongs to the applicant specifically and is used to identify the company in all
import and export activities. Additionally, it is employed for regulatory filings and customs
declarations.

Use: An IEC can be used for a variety of things, such as clearing customs, creating a foreign bank
account, taking advantage of perks or subsidies under foreign trade laws, and undertaking international
commerce transactions.

Absence of Taxation: An IEC does not by itself give any tax advantages or exemptions. To engage in
foreign commerce activity, registration is necessary.

For companies wishing to conduct international commerce with India, obtaining an IEC is an essential
first step. It guarantees adherence to rules, streamlines customs procedures, and offers a special
identifier for cross-border transactions. For the most precise and recent information on the application
procedure and requirements, it's crucial to refer to the official DGFT rules and processes.

SMEs to receive a range of benefits and support, fostering their expansion and competitiveness.

Previous Export Bill of Lading:

The "previous export bill of lading" is a record of documentation that lists the shipment of goods in
earlier international commercial transactions. It acts as a historical record that establishes the reliability
of exporters and importers and aids in assuring proper trade operations. It provides crucial information
about the items, their origin, destination, shipping dates, and mode of transportation.

Appendix 3 and Annexure A:

The supplemental documents "Appendix 3" and "Annexure A" are frequently attached to major forms
or applications and provide additional information or specifications relevant to the objective of the main
document. To improve the clarity and thoroughness of official filings, these attachments are usually
necessary for regulatory compliance, trade agreements, or other administrative procedures.

Certificate of Origin:
An official document known as a "certificate of origin" attests to the nation where a product was made
or produced. This certification is essential for evaluating eligibility for trade agreements, tariff
preferences, and customs charges. It also ensures proper labelling of a product's origin, which is
important for trade relations.

Insurance Form:
In the context of international trade, a "insurance form" specifies the criteria, coverage, and terms of an
insurance policy protecting commodities during transportation. This document offers exporters and
importers peace of mind and protects their interests throughout the shipping process by providing
financial protection against potential losses or damages that could occur while the products are in transit.
