Notifications No.26/2000-Customs dated 1.3.2000 (as amended by notifications No.59/2000-Customs dated 12.5.2000) and notification No.60/2000-Customs dated 12.5.2000 enables tariff concessions on specified goods imported from Sri Lanka into India under the Indo Sri Lanka Free Trade Agreement  (ISLFTA). The Rules of Origin with reference to the goods which are to be accorded preferential tariff concessions under the ISLFTA have already been notified vide notification No.19/2000-Customs (NT) dated 1.3.2000.

 

2.0              The tariff concessions envisaged under the ISLFTA can be bifurcated into two broad categories namely;

 

2.1       Tariff Rate Quotas (TRQ) with respect to tea and readymade garments, whereby the concession is available only for a specified quantity of imports, with the balance quantities thereof being charged to duty at the tariff rate.

 

2.2              Commodities other than tea and ready-made garments, for which the concession is not limited to any stipulated quantity.

 

3.0              Notification No.60/2000-Customs and 26/2000-Customs grant partial exemption from the tariff rate of import duty to tea and ready-made garments respectively, subject to the condition that the importer observes the relevant procedures that may be prescribed under the ISLFTA. It has been decided that the following appurtenant procedures will be complied with for operating the preferential TRQ in respect of tea and ready-made garments;

 

4.0              Tea;

4.1.0        Quota allocation:

 

4.1.1        The Tea Board of Sri Lanka, Colombo, will allocate the quota amongst the exporters of tea in Sri Lanka and immediately thereafter inform the Tea Board of India about the name and addresses of the Sri Lankan exporter and the Indian importers thereof, the quota quantities allocated, as well as the port of entry thereof into India The Tea Board of Sri Lanka shall also issue, in the proforma enclosed herewith as annexure-A, a certificate of quota allocation to each exported indicating the quantity allocated. The certificate of origin for such shipments, as indicated in the enclosed Annexure ‘B’, will be issued by the Director General of Commerce, Government of Sri Lanka, Colombo. Every consignment of import of tea into India from Sri Lanka shall be accompanied by the corresponding certificate of allocation of quota and the certificate of origin.

 

4.2.0        Monitoring of Quota :

 

4.2.1.      The utilization of the quota will be monitored by the Tea Board of India   (T.B.I.), Calcutta, in liaison with the Commissionerates of Customs at the designated ports of entry into India at Calcutta and Cochin. The Customs authorities at each such port shall maintain a simple register containing, inter-alia, particulars of such quota allocated, quota utilized and the balance quantity thereof. A monthly statement thereto shall be sent by the designated Commissioner of Customs to the T.B.I. for facilitating cross-checking of such particulars.

 

4.3.0        Relevant date :

 

4.3.1        In respect of the quota allocation for any given year, the date of the Bill of Lading/Air Way Bill shall be the relevant date for determining whether or not the consignment is eligible for inclusion under the quota for that year.

 

4.4.0        Quality Control :

 

4.4.1     The Tea Board of Sri Lanka shall ensure that the standard of tea exported from Sri Lanka to India conforms to the quality specifications of ISO 3720 in respect of tea under the provisions of the Prevention of Food Adulteration (PFA) Act in force in India.

 

4.4.2        The Tea Waste (Control) Order, 1959, being operational in India, the import into and marketing of tea waste in India, as defined therein, shall be governed by the provisions of the said Order.

 

4.4.3        The T.B.I., in pursuance of its statutory duties, shall have the right to inspect at random the tea consignments emanating from Sri Lanka into India and have the discretion of drawing samples therefrom, in order to ascertain whether the tea shipments conform to the prescribed ISO standards/PFA specifications. If on visual inspection thereof the T.B.I. has reason to believe that a particular consignment is not consistent with the said standards/specifications, it may advise the Commissioner of Customs at the designated port not to allow the clearance of the impugned consignment until the receipt of the test report of the suspect sample.

 

4.4.4        In the cases of random sampling, the concerned Customs authorities shall not detain the consignment(s), but may release the same on obtaining an undertaking from the importer(s) to the effect that in the event of an adverse sample test result, the impugned goods shall be surrendered in toto and that the Indian importers concerned shall be liable to penal action under the provisions of the Customs Act in force in India. In a case where the T.B.I. has specifically advised the concerned Customs authorities to detain a tea consignment(s) pending the outcome of the test of the sample(s) concerned, the jurisdictional Customs authorities may allow to the importer an option of bonding the consignment(s) concerned under Section 49 of the Customs Act, to guard against an incurring of demurrage in the intervening period. In all those cases where panel action has been initiated by Customs authorities, the Tea Board of Sri Lanka shall be kept appraised by it is Indian counterpart.

 

4.4.5        If a consignment of tea originating from Sri Lanka is off-loaded at a port or airport in India other than the designated port or airport, the Customs authorities concerned shall be at liberty to levy the applicable normal tariff rate of duty, without allowing the otherwise admissible tariff concession under these arrangements, except in a case of force majeure which, inter alia includes natural disasters and any other circumstances beyond the control of the exporter such as port strike, etc.

 

4.4.6        In the case of a shipment being rejected/penalised on account of action as envisaged in paras 4.4.3 and/or 4.4.4 above, or in the case of shipment being charged full duty as outlined in para 4.4.5 above, the quantity of the shipment so dealt with and therefore not counted towards the Tariff Quota will still be considered as being available for allocation by the Tea Board of Sri Lanka under the TR    Q arrangement.

 

5.0              Readymade garments :

 

5.1              The quota for ready-made garments/apparels under the ISLFTA will be allocated by the Director, Exports, Textile Division, Ministry of Industrial Development, Government of Sri Lanka, Colombo and the country of origin certificate thereto will be issued  by the Director General of Commerce, Government of Sri Lanka, Colombo. On the Indian side the Textile Committee, Mumbai will monitor the tariff rate quota parameters.

 

5.2              For the purpose of the Tariff Rate Quota (TRQ), the term ‘fabric’ shall mean wet processed (involving bleaching/dying/printing/combination thereof/dyed yarn) fabric which can be directly used for garment manufacture.

 

5.3              The readymade garments (RMG) articles which can be exported by Sri Lanka into India under these arrangements will only by those that fall in the product categories covered by chapters 61 and 62 of the First schedule to the Indian Customs Tariff Act, 1975. A list of the product description of such articles (drawn from the European Union categorization) is enclosed as Annexure - C. in the event of any dispute regarding the classification of any RMG article(s) under a product category, the decision of the jurisdictional Customs authorities in India will be final.

 

5.4              With regard to the 6 million pieces (pcs.) of RMG articles for which the stipulated conditionality of sourcing of fabrics from India (for the manufacture of such RMG articles in Sri Lanka) is applicable, the import of such fabrics from India to Sri Lanka and the resultant export of RMG articles from Sri Lanka to India will be confined to the manufacturer-exporters, in Sri Lanka. However, while ordinarily this will relate to direct manufacturer-exporters, in exceptional cases one change of hand (transfer) may be provided subject to the transferee also being a manufacturer-exporter. The designated authority in Sri Lanka will ensure that there is a one-to-one co-relation between the RMG articles exported from Sri Lanka by a manufacturer-exporter and the fabrics imported from India for the manufacture of such apparel articles. For this purpose, the conversion factors (adopted from the European Union/United States of America models) in respect of the ratio, in unit terms, of the fabrics exported consequently to India, as also indicated in Annexure - C, will be taken into account by the designated authority of Sri Lanka while certifying that the apparel articles exported from Sri Lanka into India correspond thus with the quantity of fabrics imported from India. For instance, a manufacturer-exporter of apparel articles in Sri Lanka will have to import from India and use 100 Kgs. of fabrics for the manufacture and export resultantly to India of 648 pcs of category 1 apparel articles mentioned in Annexure - C.

 

5.5              For the RMG articles exported by Sri Lanka into India on preferential import duty, the concerned designated authority of Sri Lanka will issue the revised Certificate of Origin as per the enclosed Annexure-D. Annexure-1 (i.e. page 2) of this format is, however, required to be filled in only if the Certificate of Origin is to be issued in respect of the export of RMG articles from Sri Lanka to India which is linked to the condition of sourcing of fabrics from India for the manufacture of such RMG articles in Sri Lanka.

 

5.6              In terms of the ISLFTA, the import of RMG articles from Sri Lanka into India is allowed through the designated ports of Chennai and Mumbai. The latter will also include the Jawahar Lal Nehru Port (JNP) in Nhava Sheva. For the purpose of these arrangements, such imports will include imports through the sea and air modes in Chennai and Mumbai. The clearance of the consignments of the apparel articles will be done by the jurisdictional Commissionerates of Customs in-charge of the seaports/aircargo complexes in these locations.

 

5.7              The Director (Exports), Textile Division, Ministry of Industrial Development, Government of Sri Lanka (designated authority) will also issue a Tariff Rate Quota Certificate (TRQC) covering every consignment of RMG article(s) exported to India. The format of the TRQC will be as per Annexure-E. A copy of the TRQC issued at the Sri Lankan end in advance, in duplicate (two copies), will be sent by the exporter of apparel articles to its importer in India. The importer will present the TRQC (in duplicate) to the jurisdictional Chennai and Mumbai regional offices of the Textile Committee, (addresses given in Annexure-F) depending on the port of import thereof in India. The Textiles Committee will immediately on the receipt of the TRQC, acknowledge the same by affixing its dated official signature and seal/stamp on the TRQC (in duplicate). This acknowledgement will serve the purpose of authorizing the import of such consignment into India. While one copy of the acknowledged TRQC will be retained by the Textiles Committee for record/reference, the other copy of the same will be handed over, under due receipt, to the importer of the apparel articles in India. On the basis of the said acknowledgement of the Textiles Committee, the importer may approach for its clearance, the jurisdictional Customs authorities by submitting to the latter, inter-alia, the originals of the TRQC as acknowledged by the Textiles Committee and of the Certificate of Origin issued by the designated agency of Sri Lanka for the concerned shipment. These original documents will be retained by the Customs authorities, amongst other things, will be retained by the Customs authorities for debiting the due quantity of quota cleared under such consignment through the respective seaport/air cargo complex.

 

5.8              The date of the ‘Bill of Lading’ / ‘Air Way Bill’ issued in Sri Lanka in respect of the consignment of RMG articles exported from Sri Lanka to India will be taken as the relevant date for reckoning the preferential tariff quota year under these arrangements.

 

5.9              There will be no provision for the carry-forward (to a preceding year) or carry-over (to the succeeding year) of quota from a given year.

 

5.10          High-sea sales of the RMG articles consignments (from Sri Lanka to India) will not be allowed, since the export of such articles is enjoined to be effected by a manufacturer-exporter and as the Country of Origin Certificate and the Tariff Rate Quota Certificate issued by the designated authorities in Sri Lanka are importer-specific.

 

5.11          In the event of any contingency relating to an import consignment of RMG articles in India arising out of force-majeure conditions, such as an unforeseen diversion of a shipment from a designated port to another one in India, such consignments, if otherwise found to be entirely in order and accompanied by all the prescribed documents, may be considered to be cleared by the Customs authorities concerned in such other ports within the framework of the applicable laws/ regulations in force, under intimation to the Secretary, Textiles Committee, Mumbai, the Director (Exports), Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, New Delhi and the Joint Director (RMTR Division), Ministry of Commerce, Government of India, New Delhi.

 

6.                  The Commissioners of Customs are advised to forthwith issue Trade/Public notices to bring the aforesaid procedures to the attention of the trade. Difficulties, if any, in putting into operation these operations these arrangements may immediately be brought to the notice of the Central Board of Excise & Customs for resolving the same.
