Authorised signatory on ARE 1: dual signatures by merchant and manufacturer are treated as necessary for export compliance and benefits.
The discussion treats signature requirements on ARE 1 as mandating signatures of both the merchant exporter and the manufacturer exporter to avail export benefits, citing CE Notification No. 42/2001. As a practical measure where the merchant has not signed, respondents propose obtaining the merchant's signature at the factory or dispatching on the manufacturer's signed ARE 1 and securing the merchant's counter signature later, recalling the requisite copies for submission and forwarding the excise endorsed triplicate to the merchant.
