Merchant exporter provided ARE-1 duly signed and with CT-1. Manufacturer give their continuous sl.no. for ARE-1 but not responsible to merchant exporter. Hence, your serial number is valid only. You go ahead with your serial number.

ARE-1 needs to be signed by both of you, i.e. by Merchant Exporter as well as Manufacturer Exporter.

Dear Sir,

Thank You for prompt reply.

AI Summary

ARE-1 signature requirement: Both merchant and manufacturer must sign ARE-1; manufacturer may use its own serial numbers.
The exporting manufacturer may apply and use its continuous serial numbers on ARE-1 when dispatching under CT-1; the manufacturer's serial numbering is acceptable and the manufacturer is not responsible for the merchant exporter's serial sequence. ARE-1 must be signed by both the merchant exporter and the manufacturer exporter, so the form is jointly endorsed before dispatch under the authorisation.
