Ease of Doing Business - Giving Out of Charge of goods under import without Delivery Order

IN light of the "Ease of Doing Business" initiative by Government of India and in order to reduce dwell time and increase speedy clearance of cargo, the JN Custom House has further simplified the procedure of clearing the goods.

Henceforth, the Out of Charge of the goods will be given by the Customs Officers without insistence on Delivery Order. After payment of duty, the importer /CHA shall bring copy of B/E for registration alongwith duly self-attested copy of Bill of Lading. As soon as the goods are registered for examination, the Customs Officer posted in Docks will examine the goods in case where examination has been prescribed and check Container No. & Seal in case of RMS facilitated Bill of Entry. If the goods are found to be as declared, the Out of Charge of the goods will be given immediately without insistence on or waiting for Delivery Order.
