AI Summary

Back-to-town procedure permits cancellation or amendment of LEO and shipping bill after compliant examination and ICES processing. Back-to-town requests permit cancellation or amendment of export documentation: if requested before LEO, the officer may mark the shipping bill for examination and, on a compliant report, cancel the shipping bill via ICES; if after LEO, the officer may permit the request, order examination, cancel the LEO per procedure, and then cancel the shipping bill via ICES. Partial returns require quantity amendment like short-shipment and not full cancellation. For port-to-CFS returns the port superintendent must endorse the shipping bill and the CFS authority processes LEO cancellation; officers should use ICES shut-out option where applicable.
