Declaration of intent for Chapter 3 export rewards required; exporters must list eight digit ITC (HS) codes on Shipping Bills. Mandatory declaration of intent is required for exporters claiming benefits under Chapter 3 reward schemes of the FTP, and exporters must mandatorily mention the eight digit ITC (HS) code on the Shipping Bill; where that code is not specified in scheme appendices the applicable entry of the intended reward scheme must be shown. Customs EDI (ICEGATE) will be modified to include an affirmative declaration field, and exporters may record intent elsewhere on the Shipping Bill until modification. EPCs must educate trade about these requirements.
