Dear Expert,
1.We have factory stuffing permission, Can we also opt for self sealing procedure simultaneously.Should we required to surrender our factory stuffing permission if opt for self sealing.
2.Whether central excise department has power to visit randomly and check container stuffing under self sealing & self certification.In this regard please refer Board circular no.426/59/98-CX dated 12.10.1998 in Para 5-duty of central excise officer at the place of despatch.Is it applicable/effective as on date.
Kindly suggest.
Can self-sealing be used with factory stuffing? Excise officers' random checks debated; confirm with department for clarity. A discussion in a forum revolves around the process of self-sealing and the authority of central excise officers concerning container inspections at dispatch points. A participant queries whether they can opt for self-sealing without relinquishing factory stuffing permission and if excise officers can conduct random checks under self-sealing protocols. Responses clarify that self-sealing can be adopted alongside factory stuffing permission and that excise officers may conduct random checks, as per certain circulars, but the exact authority remains debated. Participants suggest confirming with the department for clarity on using both procedures simultaneously. (AI Summary)
