ALL THE MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL

 

 

Dear Members,   We would like to  inform you that the O/o Directorate General of Foreign Trade, New Delhi  has issued Public Notice No. 08/2019-20 dated 14/05/2019  regarding three month’s time window for applying for MEIS for Shipping bills with HS Codes which were harmonized and notified under MEIS Appendix 3B, Table 2 after a delay.   The important points as per the above Trade Notice are as follows:   There were certain shipping bills, which could not be applied for MEIS, because the codes under the shipping bills, were harmonized with the ITC HS and notified under MEIS after some delay by this Directorate. The Public Notice 17/ 22.08.2017, 22/ 31.08.2017 and 60/ 15.02.2018 may kindly be referred to for such codes.   It is informed that the Customs Server has now transmitted such shipping bills to the DGFT server and the necessary changes have been made thereby making these shipping bills available for application under MEIS.   The HS Code list for which shipping bills have been received may be seen in the Annexure (to this Trade Notice).  For these shipping bills, the applicant can take the benefit of the para 3.15 (a) (ii) of the HBP 2015-20, which allows three months time for filing claims under MEIS from the date of upload of EDI shipping bills onto the DGFT Server by customs, before the late cut provisions are applicable.  Therefore, all the applicants with shipping bills with the relevant codes are requested to apply for MEIS claim, well within the time window of three months, to avoid any late cut.   As soon as Customs transmits the remaining shipping bills to DGFT, the same will be made available for MEIS claims at the earliest. Member-exporters  facing delay in MEISS  due to rationalisation of HS Codes, can now make use of this opportunity and avail MEIS.  The said  Trade Notice with Annexure  is available for reference using below  link- http://dgft.gov.in/sites/default/files/Trade%20Notice-14.pdf   In case of any persistent issues, please do write to us on e-mail id’s- ed@chemexcil.gov.in & deepak.gupta@chemexcil.gov.in .   Thanking you, Yours Faithfully,   (S. G. Bharadi) Executive Director CHEMEXCIL
