Circular No.11/2000-Cus dt.18th February,2000

Misdeclaration of Imports
-All Rice Consignments to be Opened and Checked to Prevent Misdeclaration

Subject: Measures to check Mis-declaration of good (Unbroken) Rice and broken Rice -Issueof Instructions -Regarding

Sir,

It has come to the notice of the Board that some importers are misdeclaring the first class(Unbroken) rice as broken rice in order to import it under OGL. It has also been reported that some importers have imported the rice at a price of Rs. 17 per kg., which suggests the possibility of such mis-declaration.

To prevent such mis-declaration in future, the Board has decided that all consignments of rice should be opened and examined to detect/prevent any mis-declaration of consignments not conforming to OGL standard i.e. minimum 50% broken rice.

You are, therefore, requested to issue suitable standing instructions to field officers. Any difficulty in implementation may be intimated to the Board.

Kindly acknowledge receipt.
