Import authorizations for a restricted item if so directed by the competent authority, shall be issued for import through one of the sea ports or air ports or ICDs or LCS , as per the option indicated, in writing, by the applicant. Authorization holder shall register the same at the port specified in the authorization and thereafter all imports against said authorization shall be made only through that port, unless the authorization holder obtains permission from customs authority concerned to import through any other specified port.
