Permission for transhipment of import containers from JNP to CES Mulund
Circular No. 26 dated 8th
May 1996
I am directed to
refer to letter No. 95/ CONCOR dated 2.2.96 from G.M.CONCOR addressed to Member
(Customs) for permission for transhipment of import containers form Jawahar
Customs House to CFS (Import) Mulund, Bombay. The matter was examined in Board's
officer and it was observed that the Commissioners of Customs, in terms of Sec.
8(a) of the Customs Act 1962, are empowered to designate an area in the customs
port for loading and unloading the goods or any class of goods. The area so
designated in trade's parlance is called CFS (Container Freight Station). Hence
transhipment to another port would include transhipment to a CFS designated for
loading/ unloading in the said port. The transhipment of containers from Jawahar
Port to CFS Mulund may be considered as per Notification No. 61/ 95-Cus. (N.T.)
read with Central Board of Excise & Customs circular No. 111/ 95 dated
18.10.95.
