TMI BlogModification in IGM filing with regard to IGM filing and Partial modification of the procedure for movement of Containerised Import Cargo from the Port/ Terminal to CFSX X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... d cargo movement, a number of enhancements and modifications in the ICES application have been envisaged. These encompass ICES modules of IGM, CFS Movement, Empty Container Movement, Bond Debit/ Re-credit and Empty container Bond. The requirement and proposed modifications are detailed below for the smooth functioning of container movement in ICES. 3. IGM Message Transmission: At present, the IGM Messages are being sent by Customs to the Custodians, i.e Chennai Port Trust and CCTL as soon as the IGM is submitted by the Steamer Agents/ Shipping lines in the ICES System. It is observed that IGM, although incomplete, is filed and a IGM No. is obtained by the Steamer Agents/ Shipping lines well in advance and amendments are being filed regularly even after the arrival of the vessel. Whenever there is an amendment, the ICES System sends the amendment IGM messages to the Custodians. Thus the IGM messages sent to custodian are substantially incomplete. Henceforth, the IGM messages shall be transmitted to the Custodians only after the entry inwards is granted for the Vessel. 4. Amendment of IGM after Entry Inwards: Currently in ICES System, the IGM is amended .....

The Auto approval would be applicable for the 'C' (Containerised) or 'CP' (Pad of the consignment is Containerised and remaining is Packaged but not containerised) nature of cargo only. Once auto approval is granted, the Terminal Operator M/s. CCTL will receive the messages in Message No.CHSA126 regarding grant of permission for movement of containers to each CFS. 6. Amendment of CFS Movement Approval: The proposed CFS Movement Approval Module has provision to amend any Movement Request parameter before approval is granted. After the auto approval is given by the System, amendments, if any, are permitted by the Superintendent (CMFC) only in the following cases: En Block Movement to a different CFS: For instance, there is a time limit of 72 hours for cargo-clearance at the CCTL Terminal. Containers earmarked for a CFS but not cleared within this time are moved en block to a different CFS at the discretion of the Terminal operator. Change of Destination CFS: Similar to the En block move ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... from the gate module. 7. Bond in respect of container movement from Port to CFSs: Existing Bond Module and authorisation forms in ICES (Imports) will be used. Bond Type is TR' (Transit Bond - which is a continuity Bond) for movement of container with cargo from Port to CFSs. Bond Type 'General Bond (QB)' is also allowed. BG rate, if applicable, is governed. As in TP movement, there are 2 kinds of Bonds for container movement to CFSsa (1) 1 st Party Bond: Given by the applicant (MLO) (2) 3rd Party Bond: Given by destination CFS/ Custodians. In case of 3rd Party Bond, necessary one-time authority has to be given by the CFS to the applicant (MLO) . 8. The Bond value is calculated on the basis of the size of the container. The Bond amount of for 20 feet container and of for 40 feet container would be calculated by the System, which is picked up with reference to the ISO codes declared in the IGM. The option to calculate the Bond amount on the basis of invoice value of cargo will not be available under this procedure as the invoice value is not available in the IGM. The bond amount will b ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... INMAA1AO. In due course of time, however, separate codes for different ECY (like AO, Al, AZ... Z7, Z8, Z9) may be allotted to identify individual yards. d. The Empty Container Bond shall be debited before the approval of movement order for the empty containers is granted by ICES at the time of grant of entry inwards. Hence, filing of separate Vessel wise Application is dispensed with. e. The approval order shall be similar to the approval of Container Movement to CFS. Same message in message format CHSA126 which is in existence for movement of containers to CFS shall be sent for Empty Containers approval to the terminal operator i.e., CCTL. Further, the CFS Gate Module at the exit gate of the Port/ Terminal shall also track these containers. The Bond value debited for Empty container will be re-credited to the bond once the container is re-exported and the proof for same is submitted by MLO to the CMFC. 12. Empty Container Bond: It has been decided that ICES will incorporate the processing of Empty Container Bond for all imported containers through Chennai Seaport. It may be noted that processing for this Container Bond is a ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... g. Processing of bond-debit is implicit in the System and no separate request is required. On grant of Entry Inwards, System will automatically carry out the required processing - which involves finding out valid registered bond, calculation of Bond amount and debiting the same. h. The debited value for a container will be re-credited to the bond once the container is re-exported. Shipping Agents will have to apply for re-credit along with proof of export. The information may be furnished in the Service Center entry form. The Superintendent (CMFC) will approve the same on verification of proof of export within approved time limit. 13. But for the modifications in the procedure for container movement to CFS as detailed above, other existing procedures will continue to be followed. 14. Functioning of the automated system for movement of containers from the terminal to CFSs requires cooperation from all the stakeholders concerned. 15. If any, difficulties/ problems faced in the implementation of auto approval of container movement to CFS may be brought to the notice of the Joint Commissioner (Systems) 16. This .....
