Through HS Harmonized System, it will be advantageous for the administration to work upon its export strategies. A separate committee would be formed to look into or if in need to reform the export strategy related to the Khadi Business.

According to the KVIC Chairman, Vinai Kumar Saxena, this decision will begin a new chapter in the Khadi export. Earlier, Khadi Business did not have its exclusive HS code. As a result, the consolidated data related to the Khadi texture used to fall under the category of a normal fabric under textile head. Now, it will be easy to keep a check on our export figures as well as maintain strategies.
