Import of metallic scrap – some more stations added
As per para 2.32 (i) (b) of the HOP, import of metallic waste and scrap in unshredded, compressed and loose form shall be permitted through the following ports only
1. Chennai, 2. Cochin, 3. Ennore, 4. JNPT, 5. Kandla, 6. Mormugao, 7. Mumbai, 8. New Mangalore, 9. Paradip, 10. Tuticorin, 11. Vishakhapatnam, 12. ICD Tughlakabad, 13. Pipava, 14. Mundra, 15. Kolkata, 16. ICD Ludhiana, 17. ICD Dadri, Greater Noida, 18. ICD Nagpur, 19. ICD Jodhpur, 20. ICD Jaipur, 21. ICD Udaipur, 22. CFS Mulund, 23. ICD Kanpur, 24. ICD Ahmedabad, 25. ICD Pithampur and 26. ICD Malanpur.
The last 4 stations were added by DGFT’s PUBLIC NOTICE NO 39 (RE-2005) /2004-2009, Dated: August 16, 2005. But water will become holy only if poured into the conch and DGFT’s declaration will become effective only when Customs chooses to put it into effect. So now CBEC has come out with a circular adding these stations. DDT has often wondered why the same rule has to be notified both by CBEC and DGFT. But what is Government without duplication?
CIRCULAR NO. , Dated: August 22, 2005
