Erroneous swapping of ARE-1 forms

[Guest]

Dear Sir,

Urgent reply solicited.

Can anyone guide me as to how handle the below situation :-

In one of my friend's place the ARE-1 set of factory stuffed container has been erroneously handed over to the driver of export shipment sent through road and vice versa.

Sea customs also overlook the error. Now sea export shipping bill has reference number of road export shipment ARE-1. Fortunately, the road shipment vehicle has not reported to the land customs station. This error has been pointed out by the CHA of road export shipment.

How to handle this issue now ?

Thanks in advance.

Please refer section 149 in this regard.

AI Summary

ARE-1 form error requires corrective action under the relevant export documentation provision to rectify misreferenced shipping bill. An export documentation error occurred when the ARE-1 set for a factory stuffed container was mistakenly handed to the road export driver and vice versa, causing a sea export shipping bill to reference the incorrect ARE-1. The road vehicle had not yet reported at the land customs station when the CHA identified the discrepancy. The forum reply directs parties to use the statutory correction mechanism, cited as section 149, for formal rectification with customs.
