Erroneous swapping of ARE-1 forms

[Atul Deshmukh]

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.
