New Delhi,
the 5TH December, 2001
A reference has been received from
the Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) requesting the Board to allow
movement of export cargo by rail from one port to another. It has been stated
that the proposed facility will increase competition among the various modes of
transport, which in turn, will reduce transaction cost for exports.
The
matter has been examined. It has been decided to allow movement of export cargo
after its clearance at the originating port by rail to another port for export
therefrom. The procedure for such movement will be similar to that being
followed for movement of export cargo from the ICDs to gateway ports. Thus,
under the proposed facility, all the documentation relating to Customs
clearance of export goods and examination etc. will take place at the
originating port. After clearance, cargo will be stuffed and sealed in
containers in the presence of Customs. The drawback and other import incentives
are to be paid/credited at the originating port. The documentation for movement
of cargo from one port to another by rail will be same as is being undertaken
in case of movement of cargo from ICDs/CFSs to gateway ports.
