Return of export cargo due to maritime disruption: simplified customs procedures allow berth, seal verification, and shipping bill cancellation. The Board, invoking Section 143AA of the Customs Act, 1962, prescribes expedited procedures for export cargo returning to India due to closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Vessels must generally berth only at their port of departure. Distinct procedures apply depending on whether EGMs/SDMs were filed or whether the vessel called foreign ports, including master's undertakings, possible waiver of SAM, offloading without Bills of Entry subject to verification, container seal checks with 100% examination if tampered, cancellation of Shipping Bills and Let Export Orders, recovery of export incentives, and interim manual record-keeping until system updates enable post-EGM cancellations and inter-agency reporting via ICEGATE.
