AI Summary

Merchant exporter bond and CT-1 permit duty-free export clearance when third party lacks excise registration.
A merchant exporter need not be registered with Central Excise if they execute a Form B-1 bond with the jurisdictional Deputy/Assistant Commissioner or Maritime Commissioner in port cities; upon bond execution the Superintendent issues a CT-1 certificate permitting duty-free clearance for export. Merchant exporters should consult the Commissionerate technical section for bond execution and procedural guidance. A contemporaneous question remains whether a manufacturer may use its own annual Letter of Undertaking when the merchant exporter cannot provide CT-1.
