Port clearance procedure requires specified vessel certificates, verification, continuity bond or undertaking, and emailed scanned documents during lockdown. Granting of EDI Port Clearance and Advance Port Clearance requires production and verification of specified vessel certificates (including Immigration NOC, Port Health, Load Line, Safety Radio, Safety Equipment, Ship Registry, Light House and Income Tax certificates) and verification of entry records and light dues by the concerned AC/DC before EDI issuance. Advance Port Clearance may be issued on a continuity bond with submission of outstanding certificates within seven days; during COVID 19, undertakings and scanned copies may be emailed pending formal bond submission. Advance Port Clearance is valid three days and extendable three times.
