Certificate for lost or mutilated EDI Bill of Entry: procedure for verification, indemnity and issuance for specific purposes. Procedure prescribes a uniform process for issuance of a certificate where an importer's EDI Bill of Entry is lost, mutilated, misplaced or destroyed. If a bank copy is unavailable, the importer applies to the Assistant/Deputy Commissioner (Statistics) with bank correspondence and acknowledgement, police complaint for loss (not for mutilation), a notarized indemnity bond, and the mutilated BE if applicable.
