Proper declaration of description of goods in Import General Manifest (IGM) by shipping lines

 

 

 

 

Dear Members,

 

This is in continuation of our circular dated 10/03/2018 informing you about the JNCH Public Notice no. 33/2018 dated  07/03/2018 regarding  Mandatory declaration of GSTIN, IEC and official email address of importer in the Bills of Lading obtained from  foreign supplier/ shipper.  

 

Accordingly, shipping lines operating / functioning at Nhava Sheva were also directed to ensure that they obtain such details from exporters abroad, if such consignments are to be discharged at Nhava Sheva (JNPCT or GTI or NSICT / NSIGT or BMCTP terminals) and indicate the same in the IAL submitted to the Terminal.

 

In this regard, O/o  Commissioner Of Customs (NS-II), JNCH   has  now issued   Public Notice No. 154/2018 dated 07/12/2018 regarding  Proper declaration of description of goods in Import General Manifest (IGM) by shipping lines.

 

As per above PN,  its   informed that  there have been a number of instances where it has been observed that carriers  have not declared the correct and proper description of goods in the IGM filed by them. It has also been observed that there are cases where proper description of goods was available in the bill of lading, but it was not declared in the IGM.

 

There is need to have proper declaration of goods both in the bill of lading and also in the IGM and the two must correspond. Moreover, in many cases the description of the goods was found to be imprecise and generic e.g.' miscellaneous items' or 'household items'.  As far as possible, the description should also contain the size and specification of goods. In the absence of complete details, it becomes difficult to resort to "pre-arrival processing" or "Non- intrusive inspection" and the latter particularly gets delayed.

 

Accordingly, shipping lines operating / functioning at Nhava Sheva  have once  again  been informed  to ensure that they declare full description of goods (including size, brand, other specification of goods) correctly and completely both in the Bills of Lading and IGM. They may impress upon their clients to declare / provide these details to them, so as to enable them to correctly file IGM to Customs and Import Advance List (IAL) to the Terminals.

 

Members (specially importing  through JNPT) are requested to take note of this requirement and do the needful to avoid issues later on.   The above said Public Notice is available for download using below link-

Difficulty, if any may also be brought to the notice of Deputy / Assistant Commissioner in charge of DPD Cell, NS-II or Appraising Main (Export) through email / phones (email address: dpd.amijnchPgmail.com or appraisingmain.jnch@igov.in , Phone No : 022-27244959, 022-27244979).

 

Thanking You,


Yours faithfully,

 

(S. G. BHARADI)
