Revised instructions for issue of Telegraphic Release Advices under DEEC
Scheme
Circular No. 51 dated 24th
May 1995
Please refer to
Ministry's Circular No. 12/95-Customs Dated 20th February 1995
(Board's F. No. 605/14/95-DBK) regarding issue of Telegraphic Release Advices (TRAs)
for imports under DEEC Scheme. Representations have been received from Custom
Houses pointing out that the instructions asking the Custom Houses issuing the
TRAs to carry out detailed checks by the Custom House at the Port of
Registration is resulting in delay in issue of TRAs. This also ultimately
affecting the clearance of the imported consignments from the Port of Clearance.
Besides in individual cases, examinations/ chemical tests can only be conducted
at the Port of Clearance and not by the Customs Houses issuing the TRAs.
2. In
view of the above procedural/ practical difficulties, it is decided in partial
modification of the Ministry's Circular No. 12/95-Customs dated 20th February,
1995 that the TRAs should be issued by the Customs Houses only after satisfying
that Licence in question is valid and Prima facie covers the goods which are
sought to be cleared from the Port of Clearance. The TRAs should clearly
indicate to the Port of Clearance to verify all other aspects for assessment of
the goods under the relevant Exemption Notification and the admissibility of the
goods under the Advance Licence produced at the time of clearance. Therefore,
all checks, which are required to be carried out as per the Ministry�s
Circular issued from time to time for clearance of goods imported under the DEEC
Scheme, must be carried out at the time of clearance of the goods. It may,
however, be reiterated the instructions in Ministry's Circular No. 14/94-Customs
dated 1.6.94 (F.No. 605/ 139/92-DBK) that the Licences under DEEC Book would be
debited by the Custom Houses at the Port of Registration, would continue to
apply as before. The Port of Clearance would debit the TRA received by them
after the goods have been cleared for duty concession. The logging of the DEEC
Books in all such cases would also continue to be done at the Port of
Registration as per existing instructions in Ministry's Circulars issued form
time to time.
