Shipping amendment under section 149 and subsequent claim of draw back and Rodtp

[GANESH IYER]

Dear Sir,

we have one case of amendment of the shipping bill where the FOB value was wrongly mentioned at the time of export. Post clearance we came to know the mistake and subsequently we have applied for the amendment under section 149 of Custom Act 1962.

The amendment Was approved and a manual certificate was issued to the effect.

Since the Draw back and RODTP claimed was not in the actual value and there is no provision to amend the shipping bill in the EDI system what is the procedure for the drawback claim and RODTP claim.

AI Summary

Post-export amendment under Section 149 enables correction of FOB to pursue drawback and RODTP claims.
Post-export correction of a shipping bill's FOB can be made under Section 149 when documentary evidence existed at export; ICES has been updated to allow customs to amend EDI data. Exporters should apply to customs for amendment, pursue administrative appeals if needed, seek DGFT correction for FOB capture to enable status-holder certificate generation, and coordinate with their Authorized Dealer to close the shipping bill in EDPMS so drawback and RODTP claims can be processed.
