Removal of mandatory bonding requirements allows EOUs and park units to operate without compulsory customs warehousing constraints. Amendments remove mandatory warehousing and bonding formalities for EOUs and units in STP/EHTP/BTP by deleting requirements to obtain private bonded/warehousing licences and to execute customs/central excise bonds, replacing references to 'bonded premises' with 'premises of the unit,' and substituting bond officer endorsements with jurisdictional officer endorsements; related form fields capturing bonding dates and consent are deleted and CST reimbursement and conversion procedures are adjusted accordingly.
