The concerned AC/DC Docks (Exports) will give necessary permission to the CFS on case to case basis for the said removal subject to NOC from Competent Regulatory Authority viz. Pollution Control Board, Plant Quarantine Officials etc. wherever necessary. iii. On receipt of the permission of AC/DC Docks (Import), the gate PO will allow the goods after proper checks and verifications. 4. Any difficulties faced in this regard may be brought to the notice of undersigned immediately. Sd/- (C.S. PRASAD) Commissioner of Customs (Export) JNCH, Nhava Sheva
