Chemical Export: Merchant Exporters Need Form B-1 Bond for Duty-Free Clearance, Not Registration. Consult Excise Commissionerate for Guidance. A manufacturer of chemicals seeks advice on exporting products through a third party not registered with the Central Excise Department. An expert clarifies that the third party, known as a merchant exporter, does not need to register but must execute a bond in Form B-1 with the relevant authorities. This allows the issuance of a CT-1 Certificate, enabling duty-free export clearance. Another expert suggests contacting the jurisdictional Excise Commissionerate for guidance. A query is raised about whether the manufacturer can supply goods against a regular annual LUT if the merchant exporter does not provide the CT-1. (AI Summary)
