Back to town procedure

[harkirat singh]

Dear Sir,

We have exported some containers to Australia. Buyer find some packing issues and asked us to take change packing.

All the containers were cleared from customs from ICD Sonepat(INBDM6), and these container were railed out to Pipavav seaport for vessel sailing. When we come to know about that there is some packing issue in these containers we asked shipping line to hold these container at Pipava Seaport.

These container are stuffed at factory under self-sealing procedure.

Now we have to bring these container back to our factory situated at sonepat, Haryana.

We have paid security amount to shipping line and they have given us NOC for these containers to bring back to town.

We approached custom department at ICD Sonepat, Haryana, they are not accepting our documents for back to town procedure. They are asking that we have to approach Pipavav Customs to get NOC and complete formalities to move these containers from back to town.

Kindly advise, back to town procedure for these containers. Now we come to know that there is 20 – 25 days back log for movement of container via rail to ICD Sonepat.

Regards

Harkirat Singh

what ever procedure is explain by ICD sonepat is correct, only Pipavav custom issue NOC and based of NOC of Pipavav your Sonepat issue letter for Back to town. and other hand you have to intimate your Division office you has issued LUT. if you cleared goods under LUT. and in case of under refund also you have to intimate.

AI Summary

Customs NOC requirement: inland port must obtain port Customs NOC before issuing back to town permission for exported containers. Port Customs must issue an NOC for the containers held at the seaport; once the seaport Customs NOC is obtained, the inland Customs at the origin ICD will issue the back to town authorization to return the sealed containers to the factory, and the exporter must intimate the Division office if movement was under a Letter of Undertaking or under refund claims.
