Procedure for Reconstructing Export Promotion Copy Shipping Bills: Steps, Documentation, and Guidelines Explained An individual reported misplaced shipping bills for exports made six months ago and sought advice on obtaining duplicates for export incentives. A respondent detailed the procedure for reconstructing Export Promotion (E.P.) Copy Shipping Bills, including necessary documentation such as an FIR, Bill of Lading, and Customs Attested Invoice. The process involves centralized scrutiny, verification, and obtaining a 'No Objection Certificate' before reconstruction. An indemnity bond is required, and a register tracks requests.
