In case the container arrives in acceptable condition i.e. no tampering has been observed, the container status message shall be sent to the gateway port. The Inland Arrival Manifest shall be messaged to the land Customs station by the Custodian/Transhipper after arrival. 3.4.3 Data Structure The relationship of the data fields is as given below: 3.5 Referencing Cargo Manifested: It is envisaged that the cargo manifested would be consolidated/segregated at different stations before import or export process is completed. Hence, it is imperative that Every Cargo manifested should be uniquely identified, so as to keep track of the movement of the cargo. The System would generate a unique number called Sub-Manifest Transhipment Permit (SMTP) for any cargo manifested for inbound or outbound customs movement. The SMTP corresponds to a transport document issued to a shipper for a carriage of cargo. The Concept of SMTP referred above is slightly different from present context. Currently, SMTP number is assigned for a Transhipment request by a custodian in the manifest. It could include multiple lines being transhipped rather than a cargo. This posed difficulty in capturing consolidation or segregation of a cargo in customs premises. In this scenario, any cargo manifested for landing into a customs area would be assigned a unique number if not already identified uniquely by customs such as Shipping Bill etc. 3.5.1 Consolidation or Segregation of a Cargo: When there is a consolidation or segregation of a such cargo, the option would be available to capture the modified packaging details. This would help in tracking of a cargo, while minimizing the mismatch between declarations filed by various stakeholders. Annexure 1: Registration Form 1.

Technical specifications of the same along with the description and format of every field have been given in the Message Implementation Guidelines (MIG). Sample JSON files for different messages have also been embedded in the respective MIGs. Q16. What is the mechanism or mode for submission of the declarations under SCMTR 2018 by various stakeholders? The Declaration is to be submitted to Customs by the declarant electronically through ICEGATE by using Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or Web upload (For more details, refer Link: https://icegate.gov.in/com_guideline.html). Q17. Do I get an acknowledgement on successful filing of declaration? Every submission by the declarant will be acknowledged (either with success or with error codes). Q18. What are the different types of validations by the Customs System for the submitted declarations? Is there a reference list for the various possible errors? Each declaration will be validated by the Customs System for the consistency of its format and data integrity. The details of structural and data validations along with the list of Error Codes are available in the MIG document (https://www.icegate.gov.in/SeaManifestRegulation.html) Q19. What is Arrival Manifest? The Arrival Manifest means an integrated declaration required to be delivered by an authorised carrier before or on arrival of, (i) the vessel carrying imported goods, export goods, or coastal goods or(ii) a train or a truck carrying imported goods or export goods. Q20. What are the timelines for filing Sea Arrival Manifest (SAM)? The general declaration and cargo declaration for SAM will be required to be filed before the vessel leaves the last port of call except for non-containerized cargo. For non-containerized cargo SAM should be filed before arrival of vessel at the Indian port. Application for entry inwards, vessel stores and crew/passenger list have to be submitted just before the arrival of the vessel at the port. This declaration will be referred to by the acronym SEI. Q21. What is the first step in the process of filing an arrival manifest? While filing an arrival manifest, the Authorised Sea Carrier will be required to quote the Voyage Call Number (VCN) for the vessel, among other things. VCN is a unique number assigned for every voyage of any vessel by the respective port of call. Thus, VCN being the reference identifier for every voyage carrying goods into Indian ports, is a prerequisite for filing the arrival manifest. Q22. Once the VCN is available, will the arrival/departure manifest be required to be filed by the Authorised Sea Carrier as a single event? Under the new Regulations, option is available with the Authorised Sea Carrier (ASC) to declare all the cargo in a single event as arrival/departure manifest. ASC can also prepare the arrival/departure manifest by aggregating Cargo Summary Notification (CSN) filed separately by other Authorised Carrier. Q23. What is CIN and how is it generated? CIN is a unique identification number assigned by Customs System to every cargo declared. In order to account for every consolidation and segregation of cargo seamlessly, two types of CIN would get generated: PCIN Primary Cargo Identification Number It is the identification number assigned by Customs automated System to uniquely identify a cargo contained in single Transport Document (like Bill of Lading) mentioning Actual Buyer and Seller in imports. In exports, a PCIN corresponds to cargo covered under a single Shipping Bill. Having a PCIN for every cargo facilitates smooth filing of different declarations and removes duplicate filing effort, thereby simplifying the processes. MCIN Master Cargo Identification Number Since multiple cargoes can get consolidated under a consolidated Bill of Lading (BL), MCIN is the identification number assigned by Customs automated System for all the cargo covered under a consolidated BL. Each MCIN will be an aggregation of multiple PCINs. Referring to an MCIN in any subsequent manifest would mean reference to all the underlying PCINs. Q24. What is Departure Manifest? The Arrival Manifest means an integrated declaration required to be delivered by an authorised carrier before or on arrival of, (i) the vessel carrying imported goods, export goods, or coastal goods or(ii) a train or a truck carrying imported goods or export goods. Q25. What are the timelines for filing Sea Departure Manifest (SDM)? What is meant by Sea Departure Notification (SDN)? SDM is the manifest required to be filed by Authorised Sea Carrier before departure of the vessel from any Indian sea port. SDN is the declaration having final summary of the cargo actually carried by the vessel. SDN is filed by the Authorised Sea Carrier after the departure of the vessel within 24 hrs of the departure of the vessel for containerized cargo and 72 hrs for other cargo. Q26. What are the list of messages involved in Arrival and Departure Manifest filing? The list of messages involved in this process are as follows: Sea Arrival Manifest Filing (SAM) Sea Arrival Manifest- Acknowledgement Sea Arrival Manifest Filing Amendment (SAA) Sea Arrival Manifest Amendment - Acknowledgement Sea Departure Manifest Filing (SDM) Sea Departure Manifest Filing - Acknowledgment Sea Departure Manifest Amendment Filing (SDA) Sea Departure Manifest-Amendment - Acknowledgment Sea Departure Notification (SDN) Sea Departure Notification- Acknowledgment The details are available in Message implementation Guidelines. Q27. Can the declarations (SAM and SDM) be amended after filing? What are the timelines for the same? Both SAM and SDM can be amended after filing. In case of SAM, amendments will not require any approval by the Customs officer if filed within following timelines: Short Haul Voyage (expected arrival less than 48 hrs) 6 hrs before expected arrival Medium Haul Voyage (expected arrival 48 96 hrs) 24 hrs before expected arrival Long Haul Voyage (expected arrival after 96 Hrs) 48 hrs before expected arrival If the amendments are filed beyond the above timelines, they will require approval by the proper officer. Such amendment approval will be given online. In case of SDM, the amendment can be filed any time before SDN is filed. Q28. What will happen if declaration is not provided to Customs within prescribed timelines? Regulation 13 provides for a penalty which may extend to rupees fifty thousands for contravention of any provisions of these regulations. Q29. Do I need to declare details pertaining to empty containers in my manifest? Yes, empty containers will also have to be declared in the manifest as a part of equipment details with equipment status as Empty. Q30. What is CSN and who can file it? CSN stands for Cargo Summary Notification. It is the declaration filed with Customs regarding the details of cargo covered under a Transport Document (viz. Bill of Lading). The CSN can be filed by any notified party including Freight forwarders, NVOCC, consolidator etc. who are party to that Transport Document. On successful submission of this declaration, a unique CSN number would be generated that will act as a reference number for the next declaration by the consolidator or the vessel operator (VOA). Q31. Once the CSNs are filed by the respective parties, who will be responsible to file the arrival manifest? Under the new Regulations, the responsibility to file the arrival manifest lies solely on the Authorized Sea Carrier, i.e. the vessel operator or the VOA. The vessel operator, however, can reference the previous CSN declarations, if any, filed by the consolidators for the cargo being undertaken in a voyage. Q32. Where can I find the guidelines and technical document on the Cargo Summary Notification and the Arrival Manifest? The technical guidelines including the Message Implementation Guidelines (MIG) are available on the ICEGATE website (https://www.icegate.gov.in/SeaManifestRegulation.html). Q33. Can the CSN be filed only by the other notified parties like freight forwarder or consolidator? A CSN can be filed not just by the other notified parties but also by the vessel operator. A vessel operator can file CSNs for every transport document if it has the necessary details and just refer the CIN numbers in the final arrival manifest. Q34. Can I get an illustration on arrival reporting under SCMTR, 2018 which comprises of one freight forwarders and one vessel operator? A. The Vessel operator will apply for VCN (Voyage Call Number) which will be assigned by port authorities B. CSN can be filed by the Freight forwarder by quoting just the Master BL issued by the vessel operator and giving details of the House BL issued by him to the importer/exporter. A PCIN would be generated by the Customs Automated System and communicated to the Freight forwarder for the cargo covered in the House BL. C. Alternatively, Vessel operator can also file CSN if details have been provided by the Freight forwarder. D. The CSN Numbers can be given to the vessel operator who will file the Sea Arrival Manifest. E. MCIN will be generated against the master Bill of Lading declared by the vessel operator. Q35. In case of the same information being furnished by different stakeholders, say a freight forwarder and the vessel operator, which one will be considered? A CIN Number is assigned to cargo covered under a BL primarily so that it can directly be referred by the next level consolidator. Once the cargo levels details have been furnished for a BL by the concerned freight forwarder, the consolidator or the vessel operator will not be able to give details for the same BL again. Q36. Is CSN filing by freight forwarders or consolidators a mandatory requirement for filing the Arrival Manifest? A CSN is only a facilitative measure using which the freight forwarder or the consolidator having the actual details of the cargo (or the B/L) can file the declaration directly with Customs without having to share these with any other entity including the vessel operator. However, the freight forwarder is at liberty to not file the CSN and provide all the necessary cargo details to the vessel operator to directly file in the arrival/departure manifest. Q37. Who will file declarations in case the vessel is being operated by different slot operators under a vessel sharing agreement ? The person obligated to act as a Vessel operator under the commercial contract will also act as the Authorized Sea Carrier for the purpose of filing Arrival and Departure manifests. Q38. What is Transhipment under Regulation 7? Transhipment under the Regulation 7 refer to any movement of Customs cargo between two Customs areas. Q39. Who is a Transhipper? What are the responsibilities of a Transhipper? The person responsible for the movement of the import/export goods within India is a Transhipper. There would be only one authorized Transhipper responsible throughout the movement of the transhipped cargo, irrespective of the modes of transport. The Transhipment Bond will also be executed by the authorized Transhipper. For filing declarations under the new regulations, a transhipper should get registered in the category of ATP. Pl refer answers to Q No 2 to 7 for details on registration and application process. Q40. If an entity is working as a Custodian as well as a Transhipper, does the entity need to take multiple registrations? There are different manifests/declarations required to be filed by Transhipper and Custodians. If a Custodian is acting as a Transhipper, while the ICEGATE registration or ICEGATE ID will remain the same, two different applications will have to be made under the category as ACU and ATP. Q41. What is the procedure for transhipment of goods? The authorized trans shipper will have to file arrival and departure manifests for every stage of the inland movement of the cargo. The manifests pertaining to the transhipment are labelled as Customs Inland Manifest (CIM) Arrival (AR)/ Departure (DP). The manifest will have to be filed for every vehicle (truck/train) carrying the cargo upto and between inland customs areas. Q42. When CIM is required to be filed? The authorized carrier will have to file arrival and departure manifests before departure and upon arrival of the conveyance at the respective Customs areas. Q43. Do the stakeholders need to provide the entire data afresh in subsequent transhipments or the information provided in the manifest covering the earlier leg of the cargo movement can be referenced to? While a declaration will have to be filed before departure and upon arrival of the conveyance at the respective Customs areas, the declarant will be able to link the declarations made in the previous manifests for every cargo using the cargo identification number (CIN) assigned to the cargo. Q44. Is there requirement of executing a fresh bond for carrying imported of export goods during in-land movement? No fresh bond is required to be executed. However, the person responsible for the movement of the import/export goods within India may execute a National Transshipment Bond which is managed by Customs Automated Systems. Q45. What are the responsibilities of an Authorised carrier in case of transshipment of goods? Authorised Carrier shall file a Departure/Arrival manifest in prescribed form for imported or export goods in terms of Regulation 7. Q46. What are other declarations to be filed to comply with the requirements under SCMTR? Stuffing and stripping reports are required to be filed electronically by the Custodians including Terminal Operators wherever the cargo is being segregated or stuffed in different containers. Custodians can submit these declarations through the ICEGATE MFTP with ICEGATE ID. In case any Custodian has not on-boarded the ICEGATE MFTP, they can approach the concerned System Manager of Customs for forwarding the prescribed application to ICEGATE. Stuffing (SF) and Stripping (ST) messages will be filed for every equipment (container) giving the PCINs/MCINs being stuffed into or stripped out of that container. Additionally, Custodians will also have to file notifications of actual time of arrival and departure of conveyance (ATE/ELR for Terminal Operators and AT/DT for other Custodians). Message structure is available in Message Implementation Guidelines. Q47. Is there any field in the Manifest for identification of cargo pertaining to AEO importer/exporter? The new manifest format also includes declaration of the IEC/PAN of importer/exporter. This will enable the Customs System to identify the AEO clients and accord facilitation in terms of extant provisions. Q48. Is there any relaxation for AEO status holders operating as an entity under SCMTR? As per Regulation 3 (1A), AEO is not required to furnish any Bank Guarantee while other entities need to furnish Bank Guarantee for an amount of Rupees Ten Lakhs. Further AEO has the facility of extended period of registration after initial three years. Q49. Is there any simple data entry tool/utility available to prepare the declarations in the specified format? The declarants are free to use their own IT infrastructure or any other private software for preparing and filing the required declarations. However, simple data entry utilities have also been made available on the ICEGATE website (https://www.icegate.gov.in/SeaManifestRegulation.html) which can be used to generate message files in the required JSON format. The file can then be signed digitally and sent through designated channels. In addition to the above, a free digital signing utility is also available on ICEGATE website for the benefit of the users. (https://www.icegate.gov.in/digitalSign/digitalSign.html). Q50. Is there any helpline available for resolution of queries or technical issues faced during registration or filing? Yes, in order assist stakeholders a helpline has been provided in the following manner: Email- For registration related issues, email can be sent to [email protected]. Other issues can be raised to [email protected] Phone no. - 180030101000. Advisory for SCMTR Registration 1. Introduction: Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Custom (CBIC) have notified Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations 2018, which shall come into force from 01 August 2019. The new regulation stipulates changes in timelines and requirements for advance notice by shipping lines (vessels) arriving in India and Exports through shipping lines (vessels) out of India. As per the new regulations, the Authorised Sea Carrier (ASC)/Authorised Sea Agent (ASA) shall submit an Arrival Manifest electronically, prior to departure from the last port of call to the Indian Port of call. And submit a Departure Manifest electronically before departure from the Indian Port of call. SCMTR Introduces: Arrival Manifest in place of IGM Departure Manifest in place of EGM Arrival Transhipment Manifest in place of SMTP Departure Transhipment Manifest in place of Truck Summary Arrival Manifest (AM): Mandatory rule of Arrival Manifest to be filed in customs before vessel getting departed from Last foreign port of call. Example for Galex westbound, Port Klang is the last foreign port of call. For all containers going to discharge for local or discharge for transhipment at any Indian Ports. Harmonized (HS) Code of 8-digit is mandatory for Arrival Manifest to customs Departure Manifest (DM): Mandatory rule of Departure Manifest must be submitted to India Customs Prior Sailing of vessel from Port of Loading in India Applied for all containers loaded on said vessel at Indian Ports. 2. Salient Features of SCMTR: Covers reporting of all cargo in the ship rather than import/ export cargo (coastal cargo, same bottom cargo) Seeks additional details about every cargo reported (invoice value, HSN etc.) Time of reporting is advanced to the port of departure Ensures track and trace of the cargo reported  Includes features necessary for movement of vessel within India Electronic capture of details sought manually through paper (Crew List etc.) Online Application for Entry Inward  Enhanced, Real-time information exchange 3. Stakeholders of SCMTR: Authorised Sea Carrier (ASC) Authorised Sea Agent (ASA) Authorised Exporter for e-Seal (AES) Authorised Terminal Operator (ATO) Authorised Transhipper (ATP) Authorised Custodian (ACU) Authorised Notified Carrier (ANC) Authorised Persons of all the above 4. Registration Process: Under the new regulations the Person acting as IEC Holders, Authorised Carriers (Authorized Sea Carrier, Authorised Transhipper), Authorised Sea Agent, Custodian, Terminal Operator, Authorised Notified Carrier shall have to be approved afresh by the proper officer.

Following are the possible error codes with their description : Annexure 1: Supporting Document List Circular No.43/2020-Customs F.No.450/58/2015-Cus IV Government of India Ministry of Finance Department of Revenue (Central Board of Indirect Taxes Customs) Room No.227B, North Block, New Delhi, dated the 30th of September, 2020. To, All Principal Chief Commissioners/ Chief Commissioners of Customs/ Customs (Preventive), All Principal Chief Commissioners/ Chief Commissioners of Customs Central tax, All Principal Commissioners/ Commissioners of Customs/ Customs (Preventive), All Principal Commissioners/ Commissioners of Customs Central tax, All Principal Director Generals/ Director Generals under CBIC. Madam/Sir, Subject: Implementation of the Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations. Kind reference is invited to Notification No.38/2018-Customs (N.T.) dated 11.05.2018 vide which the Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations (SCMTR), 2018, were notified. The SCMTR seek to bring about transparency, predictability of movement, advance collection of information for expeditious clearance and supersedes the earlier regulations viz. Import Manifest (Vessels) Regulations, 1971 and Export Manifest (Vessels) Regulation, 1976. The new Regulations stipulate for advance notice by authorized carriers for goods arriving in or being exported out of India through gateway seaports and further movement between Customs stations. They stipulate the obligations, roles and responsibilities for the various stakeholders involved in movement of imported/export goods. Based on the feedbacks from the various stakeholders, the changes were incorporated and the said regulations was made effective from 1st of August, 2019 with transitional provisions under Regulation 15 till the 30th of September, 2020. 2. Considering the disruptions caused due to Covid-19 Pandemic and non-readiness of the stakeholders, Board has issued Notification No.94/2020-Customs(N.T.) dated 30.09.2020, vide which the transitional provisions under Regulation 15(2) have been extended from 1st October, 2020 till 31st March, 2021 to enable submission of manifests under erstwhile regulations. However, as per Regulation 15(1), mandatory filing of different declarations in new format in a phased manner is provided for as per the annexure A to this circular. Different timelines are prescribed so that trade has sufficient time to comply with the new regulations in a phased manner. Further, vide Regulation 15(2), the mandatory compliance requirements for submissions of declarations and manifests under the said regulations shall applied in full effect from 1st April, 2021. 3. Another procedural relaxation is that the amount of bond and bank guarantee or postal security or National Savings Certificate or fixed deposit, as required under Regulation 3(1A) has been reduced to Rs 5,00,000 /- from Rs 10,00,000 /-. It is also informed that vide the above stated Notification No. 94/2020-Customs(N.T.) dated 30.09.2020, in addition to Authorised Economic Operators (AEOs), Customs Brokers who are already licensed under the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2018, who are authorised to issue delivery orders, are also exempted from the requirement to furnish a fresh bank guarantee or postal security or National Savings Certificate or fixed deposit , under proviso to Regulation 3(1A) of the SCMTR. 4. It is informed that Directorate General of Systems has taken several measures for handholding the trade and all stakeholders for smooth transition to the SCMTR regime. Directorate General of Systems has issued various guidelines related to the registration process and filing requirements under the new Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations (SCMTR) for different stakeholders such as Shipping Lines, Freight Forwarders, Transhippers etc, who are integral to the implementation of the said regulations. The guidelines can be found at the following link (https://www.icegate.gov.in/SeaManifestRegulation.html). For the sake of guidance and clarity, the procedural compliance requirements of the said regulations is reiterated in the following paragraphs. Registration of Stakeholders: 5. The registration of different stakeholders stipulated in regulation (1) of the SCMTR is a completely automated process through ICEGATE Portal. The detailed guidelines available at https://icegate.gov.in/Download/Advisory_for_users_on_SCMTR_v2.0.pdf may be referred to for more clarity on the registration process. It is noticed that while a sizeable number of stakeholders have registered successfully on ICEGATE, there remains a significant number who are yet to be onboarded due to lack of reciprocity, despite various advisories. Board urges all the stakeholders to immediately register on ICEGATE and apply from within their ICEGATE login to operate under the new SCMTR. The categories of stakeholders who are required to be registered are as follows: a. Authorised Sea Carrier (Including Shipping line) (ASC) b. Authorised Sea Agent (Steamer/ Shipping Agent) (ASA) c. Authorised Carrier (other notified carriers) (ANC) d. Authorised Carriers for Inland Movement Transhippers (ATP) The applicant can edit or modify the details in already submitted application, if the same has not been approved by the officer concerned. In case officer has already approved the submitted application for registration, the applicant can submit amendment for the already approved details. Delivery of an Arrival Manifest in relation to a Vessel: 6. Regulation 4 of the SCMTR provides for the delivery of an arrival manifest in relation to the vessel by Authorised Sea Carrier. This document now replaces the `Import General Manifest` and is a legal requirement under Section 30 of the Customs Act, 1962, the details of which are outlined under Regulation 4(2) of the SCMTR. It is clarified that only the persons representing master of the vessel (i.e Vessel Operator) viz. the Authorised Sea Carriers (ASC)/ Authorised Sea Agents (ASA) are required to file the arrival manifest. The General declaration and Cargo declaration are made available together in ICEGATE as Sea Arrival Manifests (SAM) and other declarations in arrival manifest is made in ICEGATE as Sea Entry inwards (SEI). The timeline for the mandatory parallel filing of arrival manifest for different types of Vessel/Cargo is given in annexure A. 6.1. It is to be noted that the General declaration and the Cargo declaration associated with the arrival manifest, are mandatorily required to be delivered before the vessel departs from the last port of call before arrival of vessel at the Indian port. However, for non-containerized cargo the arrival manifest can be filed at any point in time, but before arrival of vessel at the Indian port. In case of SAM, amendments will not require any approval by the Customs officer if filed within following timelines: i. Short Haul Voyage (expected arrival less than 48 hrs) 6 hrs before expected arrival, ii. Medium Haul Voyage (expected arrival 48 96 hrs) 24 hrs before expected arrival and iii. Long Haul Voyage (expected arrival after 96 Hrs) 48 hrs before expected arrival. However, if the amendments are filed beyond the above timelines, they will require approval by the proper officer. Such amendment approval would also be given online. For filing a SAM, the vessel operator will have to give the details of the Container Bond registered in the Customs Automated System. For the purpose of SCMTR, a new national container bond has been introduced in the Customs System with the category name CG. This bond, once registered at a port can be used for filing SAM at any port across India. 6.2. Apart from ASC/ASA above, other persons such as Freight forwarders, NVOCC, consolidator or by whatever name they are called, who are party to Transport Document (viz. Bill of Lading) and issue delivery order may also file their part of cargo declaration directly with Customs as Cargo Summary Notification (CSN), instead of giving it to the vessel operator. The CSN is a declaration filed with Customs regarding the details of cargo covered under a Transport Document (viz. Bill of Lading). On successful submission of this declaration, a unique CSN number would be generated that will act as a reference number for the next declaration by the consolidator or the vessel operator (VOA). It is clarified that ASC/ASA can also prepare the arrival manifest by aggregating Cargo Summary Notification (CSN) filed separately by other Authorised Carrier. Further, a CSN can be filed not just by the other notified parties but also by the vessel operator. A vessel operator can file CSNs for every transport document if it has the necessary details and just refer the CIN numbers in the final arrival manifest. Similarly, in case of Arrival or Departure Manifests filed for subsequent movements, the CIN details may be referred, rather than filing the details afresh. The timeline for the mandatory parallel filing of cargo declaration for different types of goods is given in annexure A. Delivery of a Departure Manifest in Relation to a Vessel: 7. Similar to the procedural requirements as in para 6 on the import side, the same requirements are laid down on the export side under Regulation 5 of the SCMTR. For delivery of a Departure manifest, the concerned stake-holders, viz. the Authorised Sea Carriers (ASC)/ Authorised Sea Agents (ASA) would now be required to file Sea Departure Manifests (SDM) and Sea Departure Notification (SDN). SDM is the manifest required to be filed by Authorised Sea Carrier before departure of the vessel from any Indian sea port. The SDM, can be updated any time before SDN is filed without the approval of the officer. 7.1. SDN is the declaration having final reconciliation summary of the cargo actually carried by the vessel. SDN is filed by the Authorised Sea Carrier after the departure of the vessel within 24 hrs of the departure of the vessel for containerized cargo and 72 hrs for other cargo, which otherwise may attract late filing penalty. These documents would comprehensively subsume and replace the `Export General Manifests` and are expected to greatly reduce the various errors associated with exports on payment of IGST refunds. As in para 6.2, the other persons notified in this regard may file the Cargo Summary Notification (CSN). As in the case of arrival manifest, it is clarified that ASC/ASA can also prepare the departure manifest by aggregating Cargo Summary Notification (CSN) filed separately by other Authorised Carrier. The timeline for the mandatory parallel filing of departure manifest for different types of Vessel/Cargo is given in annexure A. Transhipment of Goods within India by Train/Truck: 8. Transhipment under the Regulation 7 of the SCMTR refers to any movement of Customs cargo between two Customs stations inside the country. The person responsible for the movement of the import/export goods within India is a Transhipper. There would be only one authorized Transhipper responsible throughout the movement of the transhipped cargo, irrespective of the modes of transport. The Transhipment Bond is also required to be executed by the authorized Transhipper. For filing declarations under the SCMTR, a transhipper should get registered in the category of Authorised Transhipper (ATP), who is also a stakeholder who requires registration as narrated in para 5 of this circular. Like a CG Bond, even for the purpose of transhipment under the SCMTR, a new national Transhipment Bond with category code `TG` has been made available in the Customs System to avoid the necessity of registering different bonds at different ports. The authorized transshipper is required to file arrival and departure manifests for every stage of the inland movement of the cargo. The manifests pertaining to the transhipment are made available in ICEGATE as `Customs Inland Manifest (CIM) Arrival (AR)/ Departure (DP)`. The manifests will have to be filed for every vehicle (truck/train) carrying the cargo upto and between inland Customs stations. The authorized carrier (i.e Transhipper) is required to file CIM DP/AR manifests before departure and upon arrival of the conveyance at the respective Customs stations. However, while a declaration will have to be filed before departure and upon arrival of the conveyance at the respective Customs stations, the declarant will be able to link the declarations made in the previous manifests for every cargo using the cargo identification number (CIN) assigned to the cargo. Thus, the process would be considerably eased to that extent. The ATP would also require to file the Allowed for Shipment Request (ASR) for every shipping bill when ready for departure at the port of export. Amendment of Arrival and Departure Manifests: 9. The declarant can submit amendment for the already submitted declarations, as provided for under Regulation 8 of the SCMTR. It may also be noted that both SAM and SDM can be amended after filing. Cargo Identification Number: 10. To uniquely identify the cargo and simplify the filing process, a system of CIN is introduced in Customs Automated system. CIN is a unique identification number assigned by Customs System to every cargo declared. In order to account for every consolidation and segregation of cargo seamlessly, two types of CIN would get generated: I. PCIN Primary Cargo Identification Number : It is the identification number assigned by Customs automated System to uniquely identify a cargo contained in single Transport Document (like Bill of Lading) mentioning Actual Buyer and Seller in imports. In exports, a PCIN would correspond to cargo covered under a single Shipping Bill. Having a PCIN for every cargo facilitates smooth filing of different declarations and removes duplicate filing effort, thereby simplifying the processes. II. MCIN- Master Cargo Identification Number : Since multiple cargoes can get consolidated under a consolidated Bill of Lading (BL), MCIN is the identification number assigned by Customs automated System for all the cargo covered under a consolidated BL. Each MCIN will be an aggregation of multiple PCINs. Referring to an MCIN in any subsequent manifest would mean reference to all the underlying PCINs. Mandatory Filing Requirements on Parallel Basis: 11. Optional test filing for all messages are available from October, 2020 and all the stakeholders are hereby requested to start filing the messages as per the guidelines issued by DG Systems. 12. The implementation plan and timelines for mandatory compliance pertaining to various stakeholders, and the documents to be filed by them are as per annexure A to this Circular. The different stakeholders would be required to adhere to the timelines as laid down in column 4 of the annexure A. Any stakeholder not adhering to the implementation plan as per the time-lines of filing schedule shall be liable to penalty as authorised under Regulation 13 of the SCMTR, 2018. 13. The detailed guidelines and FAQs for different categories of stakeholders are available on ICEGATE (https://www.icegate.gov.in/SeaManifestRegulation.html) and may be kindly referred to. 14. The Principal Chief/Chief Commissioners of Customs are requested to issue Public Notices and guide the trade suitably to ensure smooth implementation of the Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations. 15. Any difficulties faced in the implementation of this Circular may please be brought to the notice of Board. Yours faithfully, (Ananth Rathakrishnan) Deputy Secretary (Customs) Annexure A A.

Based on the queries received from various stakeholders and field formations, various clarifications are being provided herewith. 1. ANC (Authorized other Notified Sea Carriers): i. Registration for Customs Brokers also working as carriers: While there is no need for separate registration for Customs Brokers under SCMTR, many such entities are also engaged as freight warders, console agents etc. and therefore would require registration as ANC. The ANC registration has therefore been made available for entities having ICEGATE login as Customs Brokers. CBs, if also acting as other notified sea carriers as per the Regulations, may register under this category under the SCMTR. ii. Decrease in amount of Bank Guarantee along with surety bond: In terms of amended Board Notification No. 94/2020 (N.T.) dated 30.09.2020, the guarantee amount for Surety Bond required for ANC registration has been reduced to Rupees five lakhs from the earlier ten lakhs requirement in the System. Further, as stipulated in the aforesaid notification, the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) and Customs Broker licensed under the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2018 are exempted from the requirement of bank guarantee. 2. ATP (Authorized Transhipper): i. Registration: It is noticed that although the registration under the category of Authorised Custodian (ACU) has been completed by many Custodians, the registration as Authorized Transhipper (ATP) registration is relatively less. The Custodians, who would also be doing Transshipment of Cargo, are required to be registered as ATP well. ATP registration requires officer approval. In this regard, the registration advisory as available on ICEGATE portal (https://www.icegate.gov.in/Download/Advisory_for_users_on_SCMTR.pdf) and ICES Advisory No. 04/2019 dated 28.02.2019 may be referred. ii. Requirement of National Transhipper Bond (TG Bond): Entities registered as ATP, who are responsible for the cargo during transshipment, are required to necessarily file/register a National Transhipper Bond (Bond Category - TG) in the System. The same was already mentioned in the previous SCMTR registration advisories and is also elaborated in the FAQs published on ICEGATE (https://www.icegate.gov.in/SeaManifestRegulation.html). However, it is noticed that the entities registered as ATPs are not registering TG bond in the system. As a result, the users filing CSN/SAM messages are facing difficulties because the Transhipper Bond is a mandatory input wherever Transshipment cargo is being manifested. The inland transshipment messages like CIM-DP/AR etc. will also required TG bond to be quoted. Zonewise list of entities already registered as ATP is also enclosed in Annexure I. It may kindly be ensured that TG bonds for each of these entities are registered in the System at the port of registration. Needless to mention, that TG bond registered at one port will be applicable across India. 3. ASC (Authorized Sea Carrier): i. Shipping Lines Registration as ASC : Before SCMTR, Indian offices of most of the foreign shipping lines used to get registered as shipping agents with Customs. As has been clarified several times before, under SCMTR, any direct representative of a foreign shipping line needs to take registration as ASC. It is learnt that many such entities have registered as ASA (Authorized Sea Agent) instead. While both the ASC as well as ASA can file sea manifests, details of the PAN of the actual carrier or the ASC are to be mandatorily given in the manifest. It may kindly be taken up with such shipping lines and necessary registration formalities as ASC for the authorized sea carriers be completed at the earliest. ii. Using foreign Shipping Line code as Commercial Code under Authorized Operation in SCMTR : a. During the registration as ASC, the entities are required to enlist the Shipping Line codes corresponding to the Shipping Lines they represent in the Authorized Operations section of the registration form. Earlier, shipping lines used to get their shipping line codes distinctly at customs locations. So, there were instances of same entity having different shipping line codes at different customs ports. However, to avoid any confusion in the declaration of Commercial Code for shipping lines under the Authorized Operations within Entity Registration in system, now the the unique foreign Shipping Line code as used internationally and enclosed in Annexure II can also be given by the ASC as commercial code. b. For ASCs contracted for chartered Bulk Cargo vessels operated by different Shipping Lines which may not be available at the time of registration, Commercial code can just be mentioned as BLK. Above clarifications may be widely circulated among the stakeholders and the registration process kindly be completed expeditiously.
