Export for repair and re-import and subsequent delivery to end user , Customs - Exim - SEZ

[KOHINOOR MITRA]

Sir,

We imported some materials in 2005-06 and sold the same to an end-user customer in India.

We had major repairs during last year and imported spares from our foreign main suppliers  and supplied to our end user  customer in India. Unfortunately there is a mismatch of softare and hardware in the machine. After several attempts this could not be set right. Finally our foreign vendor suggested to send the desktop along with Hardware to them for verification and suitable repairs. 

Unfortunately due to erasons beyond our control we have no documents available related to import of this consignment.

Could I know how to export this to our foreign vendor at Japan for repairs on returnable basis?   

 Regards

Kohinoor  MItra

There are two ways to deal with this matter, namely:

1. You must have made foreign remittance to the supplier through your banker.  Check the transaction details and ask your banker to provide the photocopies of the same.  On the basis of photocopies you may re-export/re-import this computer.  This is subject to Current FTP.
2. If you have Bill of Entry number then you can approach to the commissioner of customs for reconstruction of documents on submission of nominal fees for the same.
