Customs - Procedure for Removal of EGM Error
AS per Section 41 of the Customs Act, 1962, the person-in-charge of a conveyance carrying export goods shall, before departure of the conveyance from a Customs station, deliver to the proper officer in the case of a vessel or aircraft, an export manifest, and in the case of a vehicle, an export report, in the prescribed form.
It seems that a large number of shipping bills processed at the Indian Customs EDI (Electronic Data interchange) System get stuck either because of wrong or incorrect entry of the Airway Bill Number at the time of Goods Registration of export cargo, or due to incorrect feeding of data in the ICES EDI system either at the service centre or at ICEGATE. Further, it is observed that 'L' i.e LEO error occurs when the system is down or slow and print is delayed but LEO had been given and this needs to be cleared in the ICE gate forcefully with update.
The Commissioner of Customs, Air cargo Complex, Mumbai informs in a Public Notice that in order to facilitate quick removal of EGM Errors in the EDI System, henceforth Error L i.e., LEO Error will be removed by the Batch Officer posted in Export Shed. The representative of the Airline/CHA should approach the Batch Officer with the request letter for removal of Error L i.e., LEO Error and thereafter the Batch Officer will remove the error in the EDI system after verifying the details in the S/Bill and the EGM.
