Incorrect Chapter Heading/Description at the time of generating Shipping Bill

[Ashok Chopra]

Respected Forum,

We are manufacturer exporter,

(1) at the time of export, CHA mentioned incorrect chapter heading of item in shipping bill.

(2) Mismatch of Chapter Heading and Description of goods on shipping bill.

It came to our knowledge at the time of getting M.E.I.S benefit. DGFT disallowed benefit, as chapter heading mentioned in shipping bill does not fall in the schedule for mistake no. 1 and Description and Chapter heading does not match for mistake no. 2.

My queries:-

1. Is there any procedure of post export amendment in shipping bill and get the chapter heading corrected on EP copy as all other copies of shipping bill has been utilized?

2. Any other procedure How can i get MEIS benefit of these shipping bill?

3. If yes, please provide me documentary evidence to satisfy custom authority.

PLEASE GUIDE ME ACCORDINGLY

Thanks and regard.

AI Summary

Post-export amendment of shipping bill permitted only on contemporaneous documentary evidence; clerical errors may be corrected but incentive may be denied.
Post-export amendment of a shipping bill is permissible only on the basis of documentary evidence that existed at the time of export; clerical or arithmetical mistakes apparent on the face of the document may be corrected. Entitlement to MEIS requires correct tariff classification and matching description; an incorrect chapter heading or absence of required declaration can lead to disallowance of the incentive. Practical remedy is to seek amendment or correction with supporting contemporaneous documents and to review draft shipping bills before filing.
