1) At what stage , each and every of these documents to be provided ? Who will provide these documents to whom ? Whom do we submit these documents finally ?

 While applying for Advance License, shall we have to inform the authority that it is for third party export ?

It is not mandatory to inform as to whether advance license is to be used for direct or third party export, as both such exports are counted towards fulfillment of export.obligation. However, it is to be ensured that your Advance License No. and Date are clearly and specifically mentioned on your Invoice/Packing List as well as on copies of ARE - 1.

AI Summary

Merchant export documentation: Advance Authorization, CT 1, ARE 1 and H form required to secure duty relief and compliance. Merchant export requires Advance Authorization from DGFT for third party exports, CT 1 issued by the merchant exporter, ARE 1 signed by the merchant exporter, and H form after export. The Advance Authorization number and date must be shown on invoice, packing list and ARE 1 to obtain import duty relief and to count exports towards licence fulfilment. CT 1 and ARE 1 are required even with factory stuffing; mode of movement (containers, CFS, LCL) affects logistics but not the documentary obligations.
