Import of Replacement Goods 2.42.1
In such cases where the goods have been found short-shipped, short-landed or lost in transit prior to actual import and/or detected as such at the time of customs clearance, import of replacement goods will be permitted on the strength of the certificate issued by the customs authorities without an import licence/ certificate/ permission.
This procedure shall also apply to cases in which short-shipment of goods is certified by the foreign supplier and he has agreed to replace the goods free of cost.
