Export to Nepal

[Guru Murthy]

Dear all,

We have exported our products to Nepal under ARE.1 and export invoice. We have not received Original and duplicate copies of ARE.1 for filing proof of export with our Jurisidictional authority.My question is

1) Should we have to submit original & duplicate copies of ARE1 for filing proof of export?.

2) who is going to sign ARE.1 copies at the border?

3) In case of non receipt of ARE.1 Copies, should we have to pay duty involved in the transaction?

If any body who has exported goods to Nepal, please clarify my points.

Thanks & Regards

Gurumurthy

Debate Over Export Documentation: Are Original ARE.1 Copies Essential or Can Alternatives Like Shipping Bills Suffice? A discussion on exporting goods to Nepal under ARE.1 and export invoice raised concerns about the necessity of submitting original and duplicate copies of ARE.1 for proof of export. One respondent confirmed that these copies must be signed by a Customs officer at the Indo-Nepal border and failure to produce them within six months necessitates paying duty with interest. Another respondent agreed on the first two points but suggested alternative documents like shipping bills or commercial invoices could suffice as proof of export, highlighting existing favorable judgments for exporters in similar situations.
