Dear Members,

 

As you might  be aware,  that  for  Reducing/eliminating printouts in Customs Clearance, the Central Board of Excise Customs (CBEC) had issued Board No 55/ 2016-Cus, dated 23rd November, 2016 notifying dispensing of printing of Shipping Bill (Exchange Control copy and Export Promotion copy and other some other forms/ Challans.

 

However, representations were received from the industry that due to submission of “Exporter copy” of SB to shipping line, no copy of SB is available with them for their record, audit and various other business purposes specially when they are dealing with other government depts.

 

In this regard, JNCH has issued PN no. 36/2017 dated 17/03/2017  clarifying that following procedure should be followed for dealing with Shipping Bill (SB) consequent to doing away of “Exchange Control Copy” and “Export Promotion Copy” of shipping bill vide Board Circular No 55/ 2016-Cus, dated 23rd November, 2016:

 

• Customs will not retain “Customs copy” of SB at the time of issue of LEO

• “Customs copy” of SB should be submitted by exporter to shipping line as proof of “Customs clearance”.  This “Customs Copy of SB” handed over to shipping line will be submitted by shipping lines to Customs as part of Export General Manifest (EGM)

• Exporter may retain “Exporter Copy” of LEO for their record / future reference / post audit etc.

 

For any issues, exporters may contact  Deputy/ Assistant Commissioner in charge of Appraising Main (Export), JNCH through email/ phones (email address: apmainexp@jawaharcustoms.gov.in, Phone No: 022-27244959).

 

Members are requested  to take note of the same.   For further details, you may download the Public Notice using below link-
