Attention of the Exporters, Importers, Customs House Agents, Members of Trade and all the concerned is invited to the issues raised during the PTFC and other meetings to do away the Mate Receipt for Customs purpose. 2. At present Mate receipt copies are being asked by Boarding Office as proof of loading of containers in the vessel and by EP Copy Print Out section before giving printout of EP Copies of Shipping Bills. Considering the fact that EGM is the proof of the export of containerized cargo and also considering the fact that the same database is used for generation of Mate Receipt and EGM, there should not be any separate requirement of production of Mate Receipt for Customs purposes except in case of Manual Shipping Bills and Bulk cargo as a proof of export. 3. It is therefore, decided to dispense off with the requirement of: i. Endorsement of Shipping Bills in the Port Area ii. Production/submission of Mate s receipt before Boarding Officer (Earlier, being submitted to Boarding Officer for endorsement of Shipping Bills); iii. Production/submission of Mate s receipt for issuing EP copies of EDI Shipping Bills. Difficulties, if any, in this regard may be brought to the notice of the Additional commissioner (PG), JNCH.
