Removal of mandatory warehousing requirements enables direct clearance to EOUs and similar units subject to procurement certificate and reconciliation. Removal of mandatory warehousing requirements for 100% EOUs, STPIs and EHTPs is effective from 13th August 2016; re-warehousing certificates and related forwarding to Central Excise are dispensed with. In lieu, units must furnish Procurement Certificates at import or pre-authenticated Procurement Certificates, provide a copy of the Bill of Entry to the jurisdictional office on receipt of goods, and the jurisdictional office will reconcile imports with Procurement Certificates. Gate Officers may allow clearance after proper OOC.
