OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS (EXPORT) JAWAHARLAL NEHRU CUSTOM HOUSE, SHEVA, DISTT. RAIGAD MAHARASHTRA- 400707 F. No. S/12-Gen- 33/2008-09 A(M) Export JNCH Date :14.10.2008 Facility Notice No.73/2008 Sub : Processing of manual Drawback Shipping bills under sec.74 and examination by the officers at the respective CFS reg. As there is no suitable menu for feeding the examination details of drawback S/Bills for export under sec.74 in the EDI system, the existing practice is to allow filing of manual S/Bills for such exports. Such manual S/Bills are noted/registered at CFS Dronagiri and a S/Bill number is assigned. 2. Such manual S/Bills are being scrutinized by one of the Appraiser at CFS Dronagiri irrespective of the CFS where the goods are carted and thereafter marking the S/Bill to the Asstt.Commissioner incharge of the CFS. Physical examination is being done by the respective AC to satisfy the identity of the goods as required for export under sec.74. Consequent to the examination by the AC i/c. of the CFS also, the S/Bill is again subjected to scrutiny by the AC(Export), CFS DNode who has been allotted the work of export under sec.74. 3. In certain cases, although the AC i/c. of a particular CFS has accepted the identity of the goods after physical examination, the AC(Export) in DNode is raising further queries and insisting on his physical examination and drawing certain contrary inference. This is causing certain inconvenience to the exporters. 4. In view of the above, the practice of second scrutiny by the AC/Export in CFS Dronagiri in respect of such consignments carted out of CFS Dronagiri has been examined. 5. Although the manual S/Bills are noted at CFS Dronagiri even in respect of the consignments carted out of CFS Dronagiri and subsequently the documents are deposited for further entry into the computer system by the designated CMC personnel, it has been decided to avoid the scrutiny and examination by the AO and AC at Dronagiri, in respect of such consignments for export under sec.74, carted in CFS other than DNode. In this regard, the following procedure is prescribed :- (i) Noting/registration of the manual S/Bill for exports under sec.74 and subsequent filing after the export is completed as well as entry of the manual S/Bill data into the system, shall continue at DNode. (ii) The scrutiny of the manual S/Bills and examination of the cargo for export under sec.74 of the Customs Act, 1962 in respect of the consignments carted at any CFS shall be attended to by the concerned Supdts. (i/c.of examination) and the Asstt.Commisssioner i/c. of the respective CFS or the AC/DC who has been allocated such work. 6. The contents of this notice may be brought to the notice of all the concerned. (K. L. GOYAL) COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS (EXPORT)
