DEEC Scheme Clearance of bulk commodities may be allowed at any other ports than specified

Circular No.53/1995 date 29/5/95

Subject: Clearance of duty-free materials under DEEC Scheme from Ports other than the specified Ports

Please refer the Ministry's Circular No. 3/93 dated 18th Feb. 1993 (F.No 605/139/92-DBK)on the above subject.

2. Ministry has received a number of representations from Cement Companies importing coal and other bulk commodities under the DEEC Schemed at Ports other than those specified in the Customs Exemption Notifications Nos.203/92, 204/92,79/95 and 80/95 issued under the Duty Exemption Scheme. After carefully considering the representations and the difficulties of the Companies whose Plants are located in the proximity of certain Ports, and are at considerable distance from the specified Ports, it has been decided that where the item of import and export is a bulk or of such nature or description that it may be capable of easy identification and they are not of a sensitive nature, and do not pose any difficulty in assessment, there should be no objection in allowing the imports and exports by the Collectors from the Ports other than the specified ones. Such relaxation may be permitted for each Advance Licence/DEEC so that individual Imports/Exports need not be referred to the Collectorate Headquarters. However it should be ensured that Assistant Collector of Customs in charge of the said Ports are made responsible for tin administration of the scheme through officers not below the rank of Superintendent of Customs & Central Excise in charge of such Ports/Land Customs, Stations. In sum, this facility would not be available where a Custom Port/Station is manned by inspectors.
