PGA NOC procedure enables advance warehouse Bills of Entry with bonded release conditional on PGA NOC verification. Importers must file an advance Warehouse Bill of Entry and register a one time bond; out of charge and bond release are performed by Appraising Group or Docks officers who will annotate that ex bonding requires PGA NOC. Upon receipt of PGA NOC the importer files an Ex Bond Bill of Entry for assessment or OOC, and the OOC officer must verify the PGA NOC before OOC. Bonded warehouses charge storage from the date of physical warehousing. Alternative clearance under the No Use Bond facility is permitted without awaiting PGA NOC; consignments needing only markings may be cleared in Home Consumption same day.
