PUBLIC NOTICE 136 / 2001

Sub: Amendment to PN 17/2000 dated 13.01.2000 issued for computerised processing of DEPB, 100% EOU and EPCG Shipping Bills under the ICES (Exports) at the Custom House, Chennai – reg.

 

**************

 

            Public Notice No.17/2000 dated 13.01.2000 was issued for computerised processing of DEPB, 100% EOU and EPCG Shipping Bills under the Indian Customs EDI System (Exports).  It has been reported that the Officers of Customs are insisting on the signature of Supdt. and Inspector of Central Excise on the invoice, Annexure IV and AR 4 in these cases.  It is clarified that the Supdt.’s signature on the invoice and Annexure IV are not required in the cases where there are Board’s instructions providing that the Supdt. Need not visit the factory for stuffing and sealing.  At present, in those cases where the export is in discharge of an export obligation under QABAL or VABAL issued under the duty exemption scheme, Supdt. Is required to visit as per Board’s instructions.

 

2.         Therefore, there is no need for the signature of Supdt. in the invoice/Annexure IV in respect of exports from 100% EOU and by other Exporters.  It is clarified that if an exporter produces invoice and Annexure IV signed only by the Inspector, the Officers will accept the same if the exporter is able to produce Trade Notice issued by the concerned Commissionerate of C. Excise permitting the Inspector to visit the factory for stuffing and sealing without being supervised by the Supdt.
