EXPORT AND IMPORT PROCEDURES
EXPORT PROCEDURE
Here the company acts as both types of exporter - merchant exporters who buy goods from the
market or from manufacturers and sell them to foreign buyers and a manufacturer exporter who
manufactures the goods he exports. Once the company receives an export order it will be
processed and a contract that lists item specifications, payment conditions, marketing
requirements, arbitration, shipping and insurance will be drawn out. Like any other exporting
company, this company can also face risks such as credit risk, currency risk, carriage risk and
country risk which can be countered through steps like insisting upon an irrevocable letter of
credit from the overseas buyer and taking out a marine insurance policy. All exporters have to
4. register with a regional licensing authority that provides them with an Import Export Code (IEC)
number. To get benefits and concessions under the export-import policy, exporters should
register with an appropriate export promotion agency by obtaining a registration-cum-
membership certificate. Goods that are exported are eligible for exemption from both Sales Tax
and Central Sales Tax. For this purpose they have registered with the Sales Tax Authority of
Kerala. Agricultural products go through quality control and pre-shipment inspections before
export. Under the Export (Quality Control and Inspection) Act, 1963 (External website that
opens in a new window), about 1,000 commodities under the major groups of food and
agriculture, fishery, minerals, organic and inorganic chemicals, rubber products, jute products
and coir are subject to compulsory pre-shipment inspection. However, products that have an ISI
Certification Mark (External website that opens in a new window) or Agmark (External website
that opens in a new window) do not need to be inspected by any agency. All goods have been
labeled, packaged, packed and marked before export addition and re-exportation.
IMPORT PROCEDURE
Imports to India are governed by the foreign trade (development and regulation) act 1992
(external website that opens in a new window). Under this act, imports of all goods are free
except for the items regulated by the policy or any other law in force. The present, foreign trade
arrangements for different commodities are stated in the Exim policy of 2004-2009 (external
website that opens in a new window). This policy is announced once every five years with
annual supplements coming out every year. It is also known as the foreign trade policy or export
import policy. Items on the 'prohibited' list like tallow, fat or oils of any animal origin, animal
rennet and wild animals including their parts and products and ivory cannot be imported. For
import of items that appear in the 'restricted' list you need secure an import license. Imports of
items that are enumerated in the canalized list of items are permitted to be imported through
canalizing agencies. All other products can be freely imported. Registration with a regional
licensing authority is a precondition for the import of goods. Customs officials will not permit
clearance of goods unless the importer gets an import export code (IEC) number from the
regional licensing authority.
5. PROCEDURE FOR CLEARANCE OF IMPORTED AND EXPORTED
GOODS
I. IMPORT
1. Bill of entry – cargo declaration:
Goods imported in a vessel/aircraft attract customs duty and unless these are not meant for
customs clearance at the port/airport of arrival by particular vessel/aircraft and are intended for
transit by the same vessel/aircraft or transshipment to another customs station or to any place
outside India, detailed customs clearance formalities of the landed goods have to be followed by
the importers. In regard to the transit goods, so long as these are mentioned in import report/igm
for transit to any place outside India, customs allows transit without payment of duty. Similarly
for goods brought in by particular vessel aircraft for transshipment to another customs station
detailed customs clearance formalities at the port/airport of landing are not prescribed and simple
transshipment procedure has to be followed by the carrier and the concerned agencies. The
customs clearance formalities have to be complied with by the importer after arrival of the goods
at the other customs station. There could also be cases of transshipment of the goods after
unloading to a port outside India. Here also simpler procedure for transshipment has been
prescribed by regulations, and no duty is required to be paid. (Sections 52 to 56 of the customs
are relevant in this regard).
2. For other goods, which are offloaded importers, have the option to clear the goods for home
consumption after payment of the duties leviable or to clear them for warehousing without
immediate discharge of the duties leviable in terms of the warehousing provisions built in the
customs act. Every importer is required to file in terms of the section 46 an entry (which is called
bill of entry) for home consumption or warehousing in the form, as prescribed by regulations.
3. If the goods are cleared through the EDI system no formal bill of entry is filed as it is
generated in the computer system, but the importer is required to file a cargo declaration having
prescribed particulars required for processing of the entry for customs clearance.
6. 4. The bill of entry, where filed, is to be submitted in set, different copies meant for different
purposes and also given different colour scheme, and on the body of the bill of entry the purpose
for which it will be used is generally mentioned in the non-EDI declaration.
5. The importer clearing the goods for domestic consumption has to file bill of entry in four
copies; original and duplicate are meant for customs, third copy for the importer and the fourth
copy is meant for the bank for making remittances.
6. In the non-EDI system along with the bill of entry filed by the importer or his representative
the following documents are also generally required: -
signed invoice
packing list
bill of lading or delivery order/airway bill
GATT declaration form duly filled in
Importers/cha’s declaration
license wherever necessary
letter of credit/bank draft/wherever necessary
insurance document
import license
industrial license, if required
test report in case of chemicals
adhoc exemption order
deec book/depb in original
catalogue, technical write up, literature in case of machineries, spares or chemicals as
may be applicable
separately split up value of spares, components machineries
certificate of origin, if preferential rate of duty is claimed
no commission declaration
7. While filing the bill of entry and giving various particulars as prescribed therein the
correctness of the information given has also to be certified by the importer in the form a
7. declaration at the foot of the bill of entry and any mis-declaration/incorrect declaration has legal
consequences, and due precautions should be taken by importer while signing these declarations.
8. Under the EDI system, the importer does not submit documents as such for assessment but
submits declarations in electronic format containing all the relevant information to the service
center. A signed paper copy of the declaration is taken by the service center operator for non-
repudiability of the declaration. A checklist is generated for verification of data by the
importer/cha. After verification, the data is submitted to the system by the service center operator
and system then generates A, B/E number, which is endorsed on the printed checklist and
returned to the importer/cha. No original documents are taken at this stage. Original documents
are taken at the time of examination. The importer/cha also needs to sign on the final document
after customs clearance.
9. The first stage for processing a bill of entry is what is termed the noting of the bill of entry,
vis-à-vis, the igm filed by the carrier. In the non-EDI system the importer has to get the bill of
entry noted in the concerned unit which checks the consignment sought to be cleared having
been manifested in the particular vessel and a bill of entry number is generated and indicated on
all copies. after noting the bill of entry gets sent to the appraising section of the custom house for
assessment functions, payment of duty etc. in the EDI system, the steamer agents get the
manifest filed through EDI or by using the service center of the custom house and the noting
aspect is checked by the system itself – which also generates bill of entry number.
10. After noting/registration of the bill of entry, it is forwarded manually or electronically to the
concerned appraising group in the custom house dealing with the commodity sought to be
cleared. Appraising wing of the custom house has a number of groups dealing with earmarked
commodities falling under different chapter headings of the customs tariff and they take up
further scrutiny for assessment, import permissibility etc. angle.
ASSESSMENT:
11. The basic function of the assessing officer in the appraising groups is to determine the duty
liability taking due note of any exemptions or benefits claimed under different export promotion
schemes. They have also to check whether there are any restrictions or prohibitions on the goods
imported and if they require any permission/license/permit etc. and if so whether these are
8. forthcoming. Assessment of duty essentially involves proper classification of the goods imported
in the customs tariff having due regard to the rules of interpretations, chapter and sections notes
etc., and determining the duty liability. It also involves correct determination of value where the
goods are assessable on ad valorem basis. the assessing officer has to take note of the invoice and
other declarations submitted along with the bill of entry to support the valuation claim, and
adjudge whether the transaction value method and the invoice value claimed for the basis of
assessment is acceptable, or value needs to be redetermined having due regard to the provisions
of section 14 and the valuation rules issued thereunder, the case law and various instructions on
the subject. He also takes note of the contemporaneous values and other information on valuation
available with the custom house.
12. Where the appraising officer is not very clear about the description of the goods from the
document or as some doubts about the proper classification, which may be possible only to
determine after detailed examination of the nature of the goods or testing of its samples, he may
give an examination order in advance of finalization of assessment including order for drawing
of representative sample. this is done generally on the reverse of the original copy of the bill of
entry which is presented by the authorized agent of the importer to the appraising staff posted in
the docks/air cargo complexes where the goods are got examined in the presence of the
importer’s representative.
13. On receipt of the examination report the appraising officers in the group assesses the bill of
entry. He indicates the final classification and valuation in the bill of entry indicating separately
the various duties such as basic, countervailing, anti-dumping, safeguard duties etc. that may be
leviable. Thereafter the bill of entry goes to assistant commissioner/deputy commissioner for
confirmation depending upon certain value limits and sent to copyist who calculates the duty
amount taking into account the rate of exchange at the relevant date as provided under section 14
of the customs act.
14. After the assessment and calculation of the duty liability the importer’s representative has to
deposit the duty calculated with the treasury or the nominated banks, where after he can go and
seek delivery of the goods from the custodians.
9. 15.Where the goods have already been examined for finalization of classification or valuation no
further examination/checking by the dock appraising staff is required at the time of giving
delivery and the goods can be taken delivery after taking appropriate orders and payment of dues
to the custodians, if any.
16.In most cases, the appraising officer assesses the goods on the basis of information and details
furnished to the importer in the bill of entry, invoice and other related documents including
catalogue, write-up etc. he also determines whether the goods are permissible for import or there
are any restriction/prohibition. He may allow payment of duty and delivery of the goods on what
is called second check/appraising basis in case there are no restriction/prohibition. in this
method, the duties as determined and calculated are paid in the custom house and appropriate
order is given on the reverse of the duplicate copy of the bill of entry and the importer or his
agent after paying the duty submits the goods for examination in the import sheds in the docks
etc., to the examining staff. if the goods are found to be as declared and no other
discrepancies/mis-declarations etc., are detected, the importer or his agent can clear the goods
after the shed appraiser gives out of charge order.
17. Wherever the importer is not satisfied with the classification, rate of duty or valuation as may
be determined by the appraising officer, he can seek an assessment order. an appeal against the
assessment order can be made to appropriate appellate authority within the time limits and in the
manner prescribed.
EDI ASSESSMENT:
18.In the EDI system of handling of the documents/declarations for taking import clearances as
mentioned earlier the cargo declaration is transferred to the assessing officer in the groups
electronically.
19. The assessing officer processes the cargo declaration on screen with regard to all the
parameters as given above for manual process. However in EDI system, all the calculations are
done by the system itself. In addition, the system also supplies useful information for calculation
of duty, for example, when a particular exemption notification is accepted, the system itself gives
10. the extent of exemption under that notification and calculates the duty accordingly. Similarly, it
automatically applies relevant rate of exchange in force while calculating. Thus no copyist is
required in EDI system. If assessing officer needs any clarification from the importer, he may
raise a query. The query is printed at the service center and the party replies to the query through
the service center.
20. After assessment, a copy of the assessed bill of entry is printed in the service center. Under
EDI, documents are normally examined at the time of examination of the goods. Final bill of
entry is printed after ‘out of charge’ is given by the custom officer.
21. In EDI system, in certain cases, the facility of system appraisal is available. Under this
process, the declaration of importer is taken as correct and the system itself calculates duty which
is paid by the importer. In such case, no assessing officer is involved.
22. Also, a facility of tele-enquiry is provided in certain major customs stations through which
the status of documents filed through EDI systems could be ascertained through the telephone. If
nay query is raised, the same may be got printed through fax in the office of
importer/exporter/cha.
EXAMINATION OF GOODS
23. All imported goods are required to be examined for verification of correctness of description
given in the bill of entry. However, a part of the consignment is selected on random selection
basis and is examined. In case the importer does not have complete information with him at the
time of import, he may request for examination of the goods before assessing the duty liability
or, if the customs appraiser/assistant commissioner feels the goods are required to be examined
before assessment, the goods are examined prior to assessment. This is called first appraisement.
The importer has to request for first check examination at the time of filing the bill of entry or at
data entry stage. The reason for seeking first appraisement is also required to be given. On
original copy of the bill of entry, the customs appraiser records the examination order and returns
the bill of entry to the importer/cha with the direction for examination, which is to take it to the
import shed for examination of the goods in the shed. Shed appraiser/dock examiner examines
the goods as per examination order and records his findings. In case group has called for
samples, he forwards sealed samples to the group. The importer is to bring back the said bill of
11. entry to the assessing officer for assessing the duty. Appraiser assesses the bill of entry. It is
countersigned by assistant/deputy commissioner if the value is more than Rs. 1 lakh.
24. The goods can also be examined subsequent to assessment and payment of duty. This is
called second appraisement. Most of the consignments are cleared on second appraisement basis.
It is to be noted that whole of the consignment is not examined. Only those packages which are
selected on random selection basis are examined in the shed.
25. Under the EDI system, the bill of entry, after assessment by the group or first appraisement,
as the case may be, need to be presented at the counter for registration for examination in the
import shed. A declaration for correctness of entries and genuineness of the original documents
needs to be made at this stage. After registration, the B/E is passed on to the shed appraiser for
examination of the goods. Along-with the B/E, the cha is to present all the necessary documents.
after completing examination of the goods, the shed appraiser enters the report in system and
transfers first appraisement b/e to the group and gives 'out of charge' in case of already assessed
bs/e. thereupon, the system prints bill of entry and order of clearance (in triplicate). All these
copies carry the examination report, order of clearance number and name of shed appraiser. The
two copies each of B/E and the order are to be returned to the cha/importer, after the appraiser
signs them. One copy of the order is attached to the customs copy of B/E and retained by the
shed appraiser.
GREEN CHANNEL FACILITY:
26. Some major importers have been given the green channel clearance facility. It means
clearance of goods is done without routine examination of the goods. They have to make a
declaration in the declaration form at the time of filing of bill of entry. The appraisement is done
as per normal procedure except that there would be no physical examination of the goods. Only
marks and number are to be checked in such cases. However, in rare cases, if there are specific
doubts regarding description or quantity of the goods, physical examination may be ordered by
the senior officers/investigation wing.
EXECUTION OF BONDS:
12. 27. Wherever necessary, for availing duty free assessment or concessional assessment under
different schemes and notifications, execution of end use bonds with bank guarantee or other
surety is required to be furnished. These have to be executed in prescribed forms before the
assessing appraiser.
PAYMENT OF DUTY:
28. The duty can be paid in the designated banks or through tr-6 Challans. Different custom
houses have authorized different banks for payment of duty. It is necessary to check the name of
the bank and the branch before depositing the duty. Bank endorses the payment particulars in
Challans which is submitted to the customs.
AMENDMENT OF BILL OF ENTRY:
29. Whenever mistakes are noticed after submission of documents, amendments to the bill of
entry is carried out with the approval of deputy/assistant commissioner. The request for
amendment may be submitted with the supporting documents. For example, if the amendment of
container number is required, a letter from shipping agent is required. Amendment in document
may be permitted after the goods have been given out of charge i.e. goods have been cleared on
sufficient proof being shown to the deputy/assistant commissioner.
PRIOR ENTRY FOR BILL OF ENTRY:
30. For faster clearance of the goods, provision has been made in section 46 of the act, to allow
filing of bill of entry prior to arrival of goods. This bill of entry is valid if vessel/aircraft carrying
the goods arrive within 30days from the date of presentation of bill of entry.
31. The importer is to file 5 copies of the bill of entry and the fifth copy is called advance noting
copy. The importer has to declare that the vessel/aircraft is due within 30 days and they have to
present the bill of entry for final noting as soon as the igm is filed. Advance noting is available to
all imports except for into bond bill of entry and also during the special period.
MOTHER VESSEL/FEEDER VESSEL:
13. 32. Often in case of goods coming by container ships they are transferred at an intermediate port
(like Ceylon) from mother vessel to smaller vessels called feeder vessels. At the time of filing of
advance noting B/E, the importer does not know as to which vessel will finally bring the goods
to Indian port. In such cases, the name of mother vessel may be filled in on the basis of the bill of
lading. On arrival of the feeder vessel, the bill of entry may be amended to mention names of
both mother vessel and feeder vessel specialized schemes.
33. The import of goods is made under specialized schemes like deec or eou etc. the importer in
such cases is required to execute bonds with the customs authorities for fulfillment of conditions
of respective notifications. If the importer fails to fulfill the conditions, he has to pay the duty
leviable on those goods. The amount of bond would be equal to the amount of duty leviable on
the imported goods. The bank guarantee is also required along with the bond. However, the
amount of bank guarantee depends upon the status of the importer like super star trading
house/trading house etc.
BILL OF ENTRY FOR BOND/WAREHOUSING:
34. A separate form of bill of entry is used for clearance of goods for warehousing. All
documents as required to be attached with a bill of entry for home consumption are also required
to be filed with bill of entry for warehousing. The bill of entry is assessed in the same manner
and duty payable is determined. However, since duty is not required to be paid at the time of
warehousing of the goods, the purpose of assessing the goods at this stage is to secure the duty in
case the goods do not reach the warehouse. The duty is paid at the time of ex-bond clearance of
goods for which an ex-bond bill of entry is filed. The rate of duty applicable to imported goods
cleared from a warehouse is the rate in-force on the date on which the goods are actually
removed from the warehouse. (references: bill of entry (forms) regulations, 1976, ata carnet
(form bill of entry and shipping bill) regulations, 1990, uncleared goods (bill of entry) regulation,
1972, , cbec circulars no. 22/97, dated 4/7/1997, 63/97, dated 21/11/1997).
II. EXPORT:
For clearance of export goods, the export or his agents have to undertake the following
formalities:
14. (A) REGISTRATION:
35. The exporters have to obtain pan based business identification number (bin) from the
directorate general of foreign trade prior to filing of shipping bill for clearance of export goods.
Under the EDI system, pan based bin is received by the customs system from the dgft online.
The exporters are also required to register authorized foreign exchange dealer code (through
which export proceeds are expected to be realized) and open a current account in the designated
bank for credit of any drawback incentive.
36. Whenever a new airline, shipping line, steamer agent, port or airport comes into operation,
they are required to be registered into the customs system. Whenever, electronic processing of
shipping bill etc. is held up on account of non-registration of these entities, the same is to be
brought to the notice of assistant/deputy commissioner in-charge of EDI system for registering
the new entity in the system.
(B) REGISTRATION IN THE CASE OF EXPORT UNDER EXPORT PROMOTION
SCHEMES:
37. All the exporters intending to export under the export promotion scheme need to get their
licenses/deec book etc. registered at the customs station. For such registration, original
documents are required.
(C) PROCESSING OF SHIPPING BILL-NON-EDI:
38. Under manual system, shipping bills or, as the case may be, bills of export are required to be
filed in format as prescribed in the shipping bill and bill of export (form) regulations, 1991. The
bills of export are being used if clearance of export goods is taken at the land customs stations.
Different forms of shipping bill/bill of export have been prescribed for export of duty free goods,
export of dutiable goods and export under drawback etc.
39.Shipping bills are required to be filed along with all original documents such as invoice, ar-4,
packing list etc. the assessing officer in the export department checks the value of the goods,
classification under drawback schedule in case of drawback shipping bills, rate of duty/cess
15. where applicable, exportability of goods under Exim policy and other laws enforce. The
deec/depb shipping bills are processed in the deec group. In case of deec shipping bills, the
assessing officer verifies that the description of the goods declared in the shipping bill and
invoice match with the description of the resultant product as given in the deec book. If the
assessing officer has any doubts regarding value, description of goods, he may call for samples
of the goods from the docks. He may also call for any other information required by him for
processing of shipping bill. He may assess the shipping bill after visual inspection of the sample
or may send it for test and pass the shipping bill provisionally.
40. Once, the shipping bill is passed by the export department, the exporter or his agents present
the goods to the shed appraiser (export) in docks for examination. The shed appraiser may mark
the document to a custom officer (usually an examiner) for examining the goods. The
examination is carried out under the supervision of the shed appraiser (export). If the description
and other particulars of the goods are found to be as declared, the shed appraiser gives a ‘let
export’ order, after which the exporter may contact the preventive superintendent for supervising
the loading of goods on to the vessel.
41. In case the examining staff in the docks finds some discrepancy in the goods, they may mark
the shipping bill back to export department/deec group with their observations as well as sample
of goods, if needed. The export department re-considers the case and decide whether export can
be allowed, or amendment in description, value etc. is required before export and whether any
other action is required to be taken under the customs act, 1962 for mis-declaration of description
of value etc.
(D) PROCESSING OF SHIPPING BILL-EDI:
42. Under EDI system, declarations in prescribed format are to be filed through the service
centers of customs. A checklist is generated for verification of data by the exporter/cha. After
verification, the data is submitted to the system by the service center operator and the system
generates a shipping bill number, which is endorsed on the printed checklist and returned to the
exporter/cha. For export items which are subject to export cess, the tr-6 Challans for cess is
printed and given by the service center to the exporter/cha immediately after submission of
16. shipping bill. The cess can be paid on the strength of the Challans at the designated bank. No
copy of shipping bill is made available to exporter/cha at this stage.
(E) OCTROI PROCEDURE, QUOTA ALLOCATION AND OTHER CERTIFICATION
FOR EXPORT GOODS:
43. The quota allocation label is required to be pasted on the export invoice. The allocation
number of aepc is to be entered in the system at the time of shipping bill entry. The quota
certification of export invoice needs to be submitted to customs along-with other original
documents at the time of examination of the export cargo. For determining the validity date of
the quota, the relevant date needs to be the date on which the full consignment is presented to the
customs for examination and duly recorded in the computer system. In EDI system at Delhi air
cargo, the quota information is automatically verified from the aepc/texprocil system.
44. Since the shipping bill is generated only after the 'let export order' is given by customs, the
exporter may make use of export invoice or such other document as required by the octroi
authorities for the purpose of octroi exemption
(F) ARRIVAL OF GOODS AT DOCKS:
45. The goods brought for the purpose of examination and subsequent 'let export' is allowed
entry to the dock on the strength of the checklist and other declarations filed by the exporter in
the service center. The port authorities have to endorse the quantity of goods actually received on
the reverse of the check list.
(G) SYSTEM APPRAISAL OF SHIPPING BILLS:
46. In many cases the shipping bill is processed by the system on the basis of declarations made
by the exporters without any human intervention. In other cases where the shipping bill is
processed on screen by the customs officer, he may call for the samples, if required for
confirming the declared value or for checking classification under the drawback schedule. He
may also give any special instructions for examination of goods, if felt necessary.
(H) STATUS OF SHIPPING BILL:
17. 47. The exporter/cha can check up with the query counter at the service center whether the
shipping bill submitted by them in the system has been cleared or not, before the goods are
brought into the docks for examination and export. In case any query is raised, the same is
required to be replied through the service center or in case of Chas having EDI connectivity
through their respective terminals. The customs officer may pass the shipping bill after all the
queries have been satisfactorily replied to.
(I) CUSTOMS EXAMINATION OF EXPORT CARGO:
48.After the receipt of the goods in the dock, the exporter/cha may contact the customs officer

customs officer enters the examination report in the system. he then marks the electronic bill
along with all original documents and checklist to the dock appraiser. if the dock appraiser is
satisfied that the particulars entered in the system conform to the description given in the original
documents and as seen in the physical examination, he may proceed to allow "let export" for the
shipment and inform the exporter or his agent.
(J) VARIATION BETWEEN THE DECLARATION & PHYSICAL EXAMINATION:
50. The check list and the declaration along with all original documents is retained by the
appraiser concerned. In case of any variation between the declaration in the shipping bill and
physical documents/examination report, the appraiser may mark the electronic shipping bill to
the assistant commissioner/deputy commissioner of customs (exports). He may also forward the
physical documents to assistant commissioner/deputy commissioner of customs (exports) and
instruct the exporter or his agent to meet the assistant commissioner/deputy commissioner of
customs (exports) for settlement of dispute. In case the exporter agrees with the views of the
18. department, the shipping bill needs to be processed accordingly. Where, however, the exporter
disputes the view of the department principles of natural justice is required to be followed before
finalization of the issue.
(K) STUFFING / LOADING OF GOODS IN CONTAINERS
51. The exporter or his agent should hand over the exporter copy of the shipping bill duly signed
by the appraiser permitting "let export" to the steamer agent who may then approach the proper
officer (preventive officer) for allowing the shipment. In case of container cargo the stuffing of
container at dock is dome under preventive supervision. Loading of both containerized and bulk
cargo is done under preventive supervision. The customs preventive superintendent (docks) may
enter the particulars of packages actually stuffed in to the container; the bottle seal number
particulars of loading of cargo container on board into the system and endorse these details on
the exporter copy of the shipping bill presented to him by the steamer agent. If there is a
difference in the quantity/number of packages stuffed in the containers/goods loaded on vessel

bill requires amendment or changed quantity. Such shipping bill also may not be taken up for the
purpose of sanction of drawback/deec logging, till the shipping bill is suitably amended for the
changed quantity. The customs preventive officer supervising the loading of container and
general cargo in to the vessel may give "shipped on board" endorsement on the exporter’s copy
of the shipping bill.

officer may proceed to draw two samples from the consignment and enter the particulars thereof
along with details of the testing agency in the ices/e system. There is no separate register for
recording dates of samples drawn. Three copies of the test memo are prepared by the customs
officer and are signed by the customs officer and appraising officer on behalf of customs and the
exporter or his agent. The disposals of the three copies of the test memo are as follows: -
Original – to be sent along with the sample to the test agency.
Duplicate – customs copy to be retained with the 2nd sample.

(M) AMENDMENTS:
54. Any correction/amendments in the checklist generated after filing of declaration can be made

If the goods have not yet been allowed "let export" amendments may be permitted by the
assistant commissioner (exports).
Where the "let export" order has already been given, amendments may be permitted only
by the additional/joint commissioner, custom house, in charge of export section.
55. In both the cases, after the permission for amendments has been granted, the assistant
commissioner/deputy commissioner (export) may approve the amendments on the system on
behalf of the additional /joint commissioner. Where the print out of the shipping bill has already
been generated, the exporter may first surrender all copies of the shipping bill to the dock
appraiser for cancellation before amendment is approved on the system.
(N) EXPORT OF GOODS UNDER CLAIM FOR DRAWBACK:

by the authorized person of the exporter from the service center. The exporters are required to
reply to such queries through the service center. The claim will come in queue of the EDI system
only after reply to queries/deficiencies is entered by the service center.
20. 57. All the claims sanctioned on a particular day are enumerated in a scroll and transferred to the
bank through the system. The bank credits the drawback amount in the respective accounts of the
exporters. Bank may send a fortnightly statement to the exporters of such credits made in their
accounts.
58. The steamer agent/shipping line may transfer electronically the egm to the customs EDI
system so that the physical export of the goods is confirmed, to enable the customs to sanction
the drawback claims.
(O) GENERATION OF SHIPPING BILLS:
59. After the "let export" order is given on the system by the appraiser, the shipping bill is
generated by the system in two copies i.e., one customs copy, one exporter’s copy (e.p. copy is
generated after submission of egm). After obtaining the print out the appraiser obtains the
signatures of the customs officer on the examination report and the representative of the cha on
both copies of the shipping bill and examination report. The appraiser thereafter signs & stamps
both the copies of the shipping bill at the specified place.
60. The appraiser also signs and stamps the original & duplicate copy of sdf. Customs copy of
shipping bill and original copy of the sdf is retained along with the original declarations by the
appraiser and forwarded to export department of the custom house. He may return the exporter
copy and the second copy of the sdf to the exporter or his agent.
61. As regards the aepc quota and other certifications, these are retained along with the shipping
bill in the dock after the shipping bill is generated by the system. At the time of examination,
apart from checking that the goods are covered by the quota certifications, the details of the
quota entered into the system needs to be checked.
(P) EXPORT GENERAL MANIFEST:
62. All the shipping lines/agents need to furnish the export general manifests, shipping bill wise,
to the customs electronically within 7 days from the date of sailing of the vessel.

shipping lines may obtain acknowledgements indicating the date and time at which the egm were
received by the export department.
64. The above is the general procedure for export under EDI systems. However special
procedures exist for specified schemes, details of which may be obtained from the public
notice/standing orders issued by the respective commissioner rates.
