Transshipment Permission for SEZ/SEEPZ Goods/Ship Spares & Stores
The transshipment procedure of imported cargo is governed by Section 54 of the Customs Act, 1962 read with Goods Imported (Conditions of Transshipment) Regulations, 1995 as well as relevant Board's circulars and instructions. The imported cargo is unloaded at Air Cargo Complex, Mumbai and is allowed to be transshipped to another port/ICD/CFS or a port abroad. The procedure for transshipment of cargo from gateway port to SEZs is laid down under Special Economic Zones Rules, 2006.
The authorized CHA of the Importer submits an application along-with transshipment forms, sub-manifest, a copy of IGM and a copy of the Invoice to the Customs. The relevant documents submitted by the CHA are scrutinized by TA/EA of the Section. Thereafter, the request along with the details furnished by the Importer is forwarded to DC/Transshipment for permission. Then it is forwarded to Batch office where the Batch officer verifies the details, allows the gate out of the cargo and provides the punch seal for the cargo. The MIAL staff feeds the details in their system and prepares and provides the gate pass for the final exit of the goods and then goods are taken by CHA to respective SEZ.
In case of Ship Stores, all works are carried out as per Public Notice No. 22/2003 dated 30.04.2003. TP section generates TP number and makes entry in the TP/Ship spares register. All the relevant documents like Invoice, Packing List, MAWB, Registration Certificate, Tonnage Certificate and Insurance of the Vessel are submitted for the Transshipment permit and the Triple Duty Bond submitted by the Importer are scrutinized by TA/EA and Superintendent of section and forwarded to AC or DC/TP Section for acceptance. After the Bond is accepted and TP permission is approved by the AC or DC/TP Section, Bond is retained in TP section and documents are forwarded to Batch Office for further procedure.
