Merchant and Manufacturer Exporters Must Sign ARE-1 for Benefits per Central Excise Notification No. 42/2001 A query was raised regarding the authorized signatory on ARE-1 for merchant exports. It was clarified that according to Central Excise Notification No. 42/2001, both the merchant and manufacturer exporters must sign the ARE-1 to avail export benefits. If the merchant exporter cannot sign immediately, options include having them sign at the factory or dispatching the material under the manufacturer's ARE-1 for later counter-signature by the merchant.
