Online transmission of DES (Advance Authorization and DFIA ) and EPCG at Krishnapatnam Port

AS and when Customs (CBEC) have conveyed their readiness to implement on-line message exchange between Customs and DGFT, Policy Circulars have been issued from time to time by DGFT indicating the names and Port Codes of such Customs Ports where EDI facility would be available.

Now it has been decided to add one new location, Krishnapatnam Port (LOCODE INKRI1) to 84 existing locations for on-line transmission of DES (Advance Authorization and DFIA) and EPCG Authorization. All authorizations for DES (Advance authorization and DFIA) and EPCG in respect of this port issued on or after 23.12.2011 by Regional Authorities would be communicated to Customs on-line.

DGFT Policy Circular No. 49/(RE-2010)/2009-14 Dated: December 22, 2011
