AI Summary

Customs warehousing transfers: duty suspension permits transfers to SEZs or private warehouses subject to statutory formalities.
Importation under Section 57 allows storage in a customs-controlled warehouse with duty suspended until clearance or re-export; requirements include warehouse registration, execution of a customs bond, customs declarations, surveillance, inspections and adherence to storage period limits. Transfers from a Section 57 warehouse to an SEZ unit or to a Section 58 private warehouse are permitted subject to customs formalities and documentation, with duties remaining suspended while goods retain warehouse status. Free supplies to SEZs are treated as duty-exempt stock transfers if documented and used for authorized SEZ purposes, under the SEZ Act and applicable customs rules.
