SEZ BOE - Can amendment be done for Exporter-Importer name change?

[Balaji Srinivasamurthy]

Respected experts,

I request your opinion for the goods cleared from SEZ to DTA zone, where the name of the exporter (SEZ) and importer (DTA) were interchanged and erroneously filed in the Bill of Entries. Requesting to share the procedure and who needs to handle this matter - CHA or exporter/importer?

AI Summary

Amendment of Bill of Entry names: CHA must seek correction and follow OOC-based procedure under public notice guidance.
The CHA must initiate correction of interchanged exporter (SEZ) and importer (DTA) names in the Bill of Entry under the statutory correction mechanism, and BOE amendments should be made only after issuance of OOC copies or satisfying equivalent documentary prerequisites. Relevant public notices issued by the Commissioner of Customs provide scenario-specific procedural steps for SEZ-to-DTA name corrections and must be followed at the port of import.
