Jalandhar as a notified port under paragraph 7.19 for Advance Licence - DGFT - 65(RE-98)/1998-1999

POL CIR NO. 65(RE-98)/1998-1999 DT 15-02-1999 Sub: Jalandhar as a notified port under paragraph 7.19 for Advance Licence. The Department of Revenue has issued notification no, 94/97 including Jalandhar as a notified port for the purpose of Advance Licences in terms of paragraph 7.3 and 7.4 of Exim Policy. Since Jalandhar is not a notified port for DEPB under Customs notification 34/97, it could not be mentioned as a port under paragraph 7.19 of Hand Book of Procedures (Vol.1). 1997-2002 since paragraph 7.36 of Hand Book of Procedures automatically covers all ports mentioned in paragraph 7,19 for the purpose of DEPB scheme. However, it is clarified that Jalandhar is a notified port for the purpose of Advance Licences under Customs notifications and may be treated as a notified port under paragraph 7.19 of Hand Book of Procedures (Vol.1), 1997-2002 for issuance of Advance Licences. This issues with the approval of DGFT. (Ajay Sahai) Jt. Director General of Foreign Trade
