Export Warehousing – Thiruvallur included and Kanpur exclusion cancelled
BY Circular No. 581/18/2001- CX dated 29th June, 2001, CBEC has specified places where warehouses may be established.
Representations have been received from the trade as well as field formations to include the district of Thiruvallur in the state of Tamilnadu in the list of places mentioned in the said Circular.
Board is of the view that extension of the facility of export warehousing to Thiruvallur district in the state of Tamilnadu would facilitate the trade and industry and so it is included the list.
This Circular had been amended a dozen times and in one of the amendments, Kanpur had been inadvertently omitted, which lapse is now rectified retrospectively.
The places where warehouses may be established and registered are
1. Ahmedabad,
2. Bangalore,
3. Kolkata,
4. Chennai,
5. Delhi,
6. Hyderabad,
7. Jaipur,
8. Kanpur,
9. Ludhiana,
10. Mumbai,
11. the districts of Pune and Raigad in the state of Maharashtra,
12. the district of East Midnapore in the state of West Bengal,
13. the district of Kancheepuram in the state of Tamilnadu,
14. the district of Indore in the state of Madhya Pradesh,
15. the taluka Ankleshwar in the district of Bharuch in the state of Gujarat,
16. Navi Mumbai in the district of Thane in the state of Maharashtra,
17. Sholinghur in the district of Vellore in the state of Tamilnadu,
18. Bidadi in the Bangalore Rural District, Karnataka and
19. the district of Thiruvallur in the state of Tamilnadu.
Now, the list is interesting – it basically covers the places which have no ports, understandably so. But the list has cities like Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai which have ports. And the list does not cover port cities like Kochi, Mangalore, Vizag etc.,
Why? Netizens are welcome to offer their comments.
