Excise supervision and sealing for export outside the factory gate

[Yatin Bhopi]

We are manufacturer exporter regularly exporting our products on excise supervision and sealing in the factory premises. The time involved between loading and sealing (clearing from factory after excise supervision and sealing and required documentation) is around 4 to 5 hours.

Currently there is congestion in the factory and no place to park these export containers in the factory waiting for sealing and supervision. So we wish to load the export containers / ISO Tanks in the factory and park the loaded vehicle in our own area which is at the approx 1.5 kilometer from factory.  We will complete the excise formalities such as sealing and documentation and clear the vehicle from that area. But issue is it will require to take vehicle outside the factory gate.

We wish to continue with factory stuffing and excise supervision.

Whether this is permissible under excise law?

Manufacturer Faces Compliance Issues with Export Containers Due to Factory Congestion; Seeks Self-Sealing Permission for Solution. A manufacturer exporter is facing logistical challenges due to congestion at their factory, which affects the excise supervision and sealing process for export containers. They propose loading containers at the factory and then moving them 1.5 kilometers away to complete excise formalities. However, this plan requires taking the containers outside the factory premises, raising concerns about compliance with excise laws. Responses suggest obtaining self-sealing permission to bypass the issue, as current regulations do not allow storing excisable goods outside the factory without paying duty. The proposal is technically incorrect as it contradicts the specified factory address for stuffing permissions.
