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.
