Regarding logging of DEEC books for exports made through ICDs
Circular No. 18 dated 19th March 2001
Attention is invited to DOR Circular No.16/ 96-Cus. dated 12.3.96,
which has been issued outlining the procedure to be followed for logging of DEEC
Books. In terms of Para 1, of this Circular, 5 documents as enumerated therein
are generally required to be produced for logging.
2. It has been
reported to the Board that for logging of DEEC books in respect of exports made
through ICDs, different procedures are being followed. In the case of export
through an ICD, export goods are first stuffed into the container, which is
transported to the port of export and loaded on board the vessel for export. On
the central excise side there have been instructions regarding the procedure to
be followed for normally accepting transference copy of the shipping bill as
evidence of export. The transference copy of the shipping bill moves alongwith
the goods from ICDs to the port of shipment and is endorsed with the details of
mate receipt no., name of the issuing person, details of export consignment,
name of the vessel, date of sailing and port of sailing by the concerned customs
officer who supervises shipments and thereafter forwards the transference copy
to ICD.
3. In order to
streamline the procedure to be followed for logging of DEEC books in respect of
exports made thorough ICDs, it is decided that transference copy of the shipping
bill shall be accepted. In cases where transference copy of the shipping bill is
not received within 45 days of the let export order at the ICD, logging of the
DEEC book may be done on the basis of the mate receipt issued by the shipping
line at the time of loading of containers on board the vessel and bill of
lading. Alternately, logging may also be allowed in cases where the exporter
produced bank realisation certificate as evidence of exports.
4. This may be
brought to the notice of the staff concerned and the trade by issuing suitable
standing order and Public Notice respectively.
5. The
receipt of this Circular may please be acknowledged.
