REPRESENTATIONS have been received in the CBEC regarding problems faced by importers on the clearance of products not specified under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009.It has been brought to the notice that Customs officers are insisting on registration documents from importers on products which do not fall under the purview of the Legal Metrology Act, 2009 and rules made there under. Insistence on such documents has been reported to cause undue delay in the clearance of such consignments.
Board wants all officers to be sufficiently sensitized not to insist on registration documents under Legal Metrology Act, 2009 wherever it is not required.
