REGARDING EXAMINATION OF EXPORT CONSIGNMENTS OF PERISHABLE CARGO
CIRCULAR NO.:
12/2013
DATE: 02/04/2013
The Department related Parliamentary Standing
Committee on Commerce has emphasized that in order to promote export of
Agriculture and Processed Food products, the Customs authorities must be
sensitized to accord priority clearance to perishable agro products cargo.
Accordingly, the Board reiterates that export
consignments of perishable agricultural goods should not be examined in a
routine manner and should be examined only in cases of specific intelligence
with prior permission of concerned Assistant Commissioner/Deputy Commissioner
of Customs.
Such perishable cargo which is taken up for
examination should be given Customs clearance on the same day itself.
In the event there are contraventions of
Customs law, necessary legal action shall be taken but, in this case too, it
shall be ensured that the perishable cargo is dealt with in such a manner
including grant of provisional release (where permissible) so that it is not
unduly held up in ports/airports etc.
Board has also decided, as a trade
facilitation measure, to extend the facility of 24x7 Customs clearance for
export consignments of perishable agricultural export goods at all air cargo
complexes across the country.
