Regarding relaxation in customs procedures in case of vessels carrying
coastal goods exclusively
Circular
No. 16
dated
11th March 1998
I am directed to refer circular No. 40/ 47-Cus.
(NT), dated 19. 9. 97 on the above subject. In continuation of earlier measures,
the following further measures have also been taken regarding relaxation in
customs procedures in case of vessels carrying coastal goods exclusively.
2. By notification
14/ 98-Cus. (NT) dated 27. 2. 98, the earlier notification No. 52-Cus., dated 1.
2. 63 has been rescinded. The earlier notification 52-Cus., dated 1. 2. 63
required the vessels carrying coastal goods to file IGM/ EGM in terms of the
provisions contained in section 30 and 41 of the Customs Act, 1962. Consequently
the vessels carrying exclusively coastal goods will not be required to file IGM/
EGM.
3. In terms of
notification 15/ 98-Cus. (NT) dated 27. 2. 98, vessels carrying exclusively
coastal goods have been exempted from the delivery of Advice Book on arrival at
each port of call to the proper officer of Customs at the port, as required u/s
95 (1) and 95 (2) of Customs Act, 1962. However, the master of each vessel shall
carry the Advice Book on Board the vessel, and the proper officer of customs
may, whenever he deems necessary, call for the Advice Book for his inspection or
inspect the same on board the vessel.
4.
The difficulty, if any, in implementation of the new changes may kindly
be brought to the notices of Board.
5.
The required standing order and public notice may kindly be issued.
