FTP - ICD Marripalem in AP included in ports for export promotion benefits
ICD Merripalem, Guntur District, (AP) is included under para 4.19 of HBP v.1 for availing export promotion benefits.
CBEC has already amended 31 notifications in May 2011, to include Marripalem in the list of eligible ports/ICDs. Please see -23 05 2011. This time around, it took the DGFT more than two months to amend the HBP. Let us hope the Customs would not create any problems for the gap in dates between the Customs amendment and the DGFT amendment.
Why can't the Customs notifications state that the ports as mentioned in the HBP would apply or vice versa ? Why should there be such duplication in these notifications?
