Misuse of exporter/CHA credentials prompts strict verification of CHA passes, Shipping Bills and container seals to prevent smuggling. Fraudulent exports of Red Sanders wood exploited misuse of IECs/CHAs and forged Shipping Bills, including alteration of genuine Shipping Bills and presentation of fake manual bills to obtain port entry. Containers declared as factory stuffed were also physically tampered with during transit by removing and re fixing latches and seals, enabling replacement of genuine cargo with contraband. The notice prescribes safeguards: accept only documents signed by authorised CHA pass holders with cardex numbers; verify submitter passes linked to the CHA; capture full signature and cardex on hard copies; confirm LEO and Shipping Bill authenticity via EDI/intranet; verify container marks/seals against examination reports; check CFS gate passes and transit timing; and escalate suspicious cases to senior customs officers.
