Regarding issue of instructions for measures to check misdeclaration of
good (Unbroken) rice and broken rice
Circular No. 11
dated 18th February 2000
It has come to the notice of the Board that some
importers are mis-declaring the first class (Unbroken) rice as broken rice in
order to import it under OGL. It has also been reported that some importers have
imported the rice at a price of Rs. 17 per kg., which suggests the possibility
of such mis-declaration.
To prevent such mis-declaration in future, the Board
has decided that all consignments of rice should be opened and examined to
detect/ prevent any mis-declaration of consignments not conforming to OGL
standard i.e. minimum 50% broken rice.
You are, therefore, requested to issue suitable
standing instructions to field officers. Any difficulty in implementation may be
intimated to the Board.
Kindly acknowledge receipt.
