Registeration under Project Import, Customs - Exim - SEZ

[BHEL .]

Sir/Madame,

We are a large manufacturing company.Our different units are located across India and we Import our raw material and components through different ports across India.

I would like to know the legal position regarding registering a project at different ports for the import of the raw materials and components.For example our Unit A want to register a Project X at Mumbai Port and our Unit B want to register the same project X at Chennai Port separately; is it possible?If yes,kindly quote any judgment or legal provisions.

Thanks in advance.

Dear sir,

There is No restriction of registration of ports as per the notification. The para of the notification is produced below for your reference. But since you are importing the material from various ports, you have to keep the material separately and account separately and take safeguards not to mix of the goods and you are able to show bill of entry wise and port wise the goods to the inspection authority as and when they require. But Inspection is not mandatory but you have to be very careful at the time completion of the contracts.
