Single Factory Stuffing Permission valid for all Customs Houses
THE Task Force of the Department of Commerce, to reduce transaction cost involved in exports, has recommended the grant of a single factory stuffing permission valid for all the Customs Stations instead of Customs Station wise permission. This recommendation has been accepted by the Government. CBEC agrees to give such single permission, instead of Customs Station wise permission, subject to the following conditions.
++ The exporter may be asked to furnish to Customs a list of Customs Stations from where he intends to export his goods.
++ The Customs House granting the factory stuffing permission should maintain a proper register to keep a track-record of such permissions, and also create a unique serial number for each of such permissions.
++ The Customs House granting the factory stuffing permission should circulate the permission to all Customs Houses concerned. The communication should clearly indicate the name and contact details of the Preventive Officer/Inspector and Superintendent concerned of the Customs House granting the permission as well as those of the Central Excise Range concerned to facilitate real time verifications, if required.
++ In case, something adverse is noticed against the exporter, the Customs Station concerned shall promptly intimate the Customs House which has granted the permission, which will, in turn, withdraw the permission, and inform to all Customs Houses concerned.
DDT heartily congratulates the Board for the correct usage of the word – concerned. It is a great achievement.
