Exporters in Karnataka with good track records can now expect minimum inspections and speedy clearances by the government for their proposals.
The Kanara Chamber of Commerce and Industry said that the commissioner of Commercial Taxes has implemented the "Gold Card" facility for exporters to move their consignments freely without any hindrance.
The "Gold Card" facility, which was mooted as "Green Card" facility for exporters in the Export Promotion Policy 2002-07 of the State Government, can be extended to those having 100 per cent export-oriented units under the Exim policy of the Central Government.
Those having a "Green Channel" facility with Customs and with an average turnover of Rs1 crore or more in the last three years are also eligible. Even manufacturers and processors can get this facility.
