and unloaded at Panaji but what about other places?</strong></font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2">The <strong>CBEC</strong> has amended Notification
No.62/94-Customs (N.T.) to allow Loading and unloading of crew baggage at Panaji
port. But there are several ports through which imports and exports of only
certain goods are allowed. Obviously the crew coming to these ports will also
bring baggage, the loading and unloading of which will be illegal. Bahabalpur
in Orissa is a port only for unloading of fertilisers and obviously crew baggage
cannot be unloaded here. There are other ports like Dabhol, Ranpar, Vadinar,
for specific commodities. And there is the classic example of Vizag and Kakinada
which, we are not tired of pointing out, are illegal ports all because the Board
does not bother to issue proper notifications!</font></p>

<p align="justify"><font size="2">The Anti dumping duty on Sodium Nitrite originating
in, or exported from China PR was imposed in the year 2000 by Notification No.147/2000-cus.
The Designated Authority after conducting Sunset Review has recommended continued
imposition of a definitive anti dumping duty on the product. So the Government
has now imposed this anti dumping duty for another five years. Consequently
Notification No.147/2000-cus. is rescinded.</font></p>
