I
am directed to refer to Board's Circular No. 90/ 98-Cus.IV dated the 8th
December, 1998 on the above mentioned subject and to say that doubts have been
raised regarding percentage of examination as prescribed in Para 7 of the
Circular and applicability of Scheme to EOUs as provided in Para 9 of the said
Circular. The issue have been examined by Board and it has been decided to make
the following amendments in the said Circular: -
2. Para No. 7 of the
said Circular may now be read as under: -
"7. In modification of Board's F.No. 446/ 42/ 91-Cus.Iv dated the
6th August, 1991, the following percentage of examination may be adopted at the
Port of Export.
(a) In case of consignments shipped under Free
Shipping Bills, only 10% of the consignments in a day shall be selected at
random.
(b) In the case of consignments shipped by SSTH/
STH/ TH/ EH Government Department/ Public Sector Undertaking under any export
incentive/ promotion scheme, only 10% of their consignments in a day may be
examined provided the estimated export incentives involved in each Shipping Bill
is less than Rs. 1,00,000/ - (one lakh).
(c) In case of consignments belonging to
exporters other than (b) above, where the incentives under any export incentive/
promotion scheme is less than Rs. 1,00,000/ - (one lakh), only 50% of their
consignments in a day shall be taken up for physical examination.

Rs. 1,00,000/ - (one lakh) or above, all such consignments should be taken up
for examination".
3.
In respect of paragraph 9 of the Circular doubts have been raised about
applicability of Circular to 100% EOUs. The issue has been examined and it is
clarified that the self-certification facility will be applicable to all EOUs/
EPZ/ EHTP/ STP units if they have been accorded EH/ TH/ STH/ SSTH status under
the EXIM Policy.
4.
The above changes may be brought to the notice of the trade as well as
the Departmental officers by way of issue of suitable Public Notice and Standing
order. Difficulty, if any, in implementation of the above procedure may kindly
