Regarding market verification of Ready�made Garments for duty drawback
disbursement
Circular
No. 77 dated 7th December 2001
A number of representations been
received from the Trade that the field formations are resorting to routine
market verification in respect of garments on the premise that the same are
over-valued. This causes harassment and avoidable delay in exports.
2. The issue has
been examined in the Board. It is clarified that there are separate drawback
entries with drawback rates and caps for different categories of garments in the
Drawback Table. These caps by and large are sufficient to take care of any
attempts by the exporters to over value the exports. The field formations should
not resort to any indiscriminate and routine market verification of garment
exports. Market verification should be undertaken only in very suspect cases and
especially where there is blatant export of sub-standard goods. Market
verification can also be initiated in select cases in respect of consignments
entered for export to sensitive destinations.
3. This should be
ensured that the market verifications are expeditiously concluded and the
drawback claims are settled at the earliest and at the most within three months
from the date of the entry of the goods for export.
4. This may be
brought to the notice of the staff concerned and trade through issuance of
suitable standing order and public notice. Also kindly acknowledge the receipt
of this Circular.
