Customs Transit Declaration requirement governs transit through foreign territory, mandating CTD, bond, sealing and electronic filing transition. The regulations supersede the 1965 rules and govern transit of goods through foreign territory under the agreed port and inland waterway arrangements; every transit shipment must be accompanied by a Customs Transit Declaration (CTD) and a customs bond, sealed with a customs one time lock at Indian exit, endorsed at each entry/exit point, and presented on re entry for verification and bond closure; manual CTD filing will operate initially with a transition to electronic EDI filing, and Cross Border Certificate requirement is waived for movements under these regulations.
