Supplier Faces Legal Challenge Over Missing Bill of Export for SEZ Unit Dispatch Under SEZ Rules A party exporting materials to an SEZ unit under LUT and ARE-1 faced an issue with excise officers who demanded a Bill of Export, which their partner refused to provide. According to SEZ rules, a Bill of Export is mandatory when claiming export benefits. The party, acting as a supplier, dispatched goods with documents in the name of their partner, a merchant exporter. The authorities questioned the legality of this arrangement, suggesting it might constitute an offense since the party itself is not the exporter. The party seeks advice on how to proceed.
