Proof of Export by a Merchant Exporter

[Asked by Guest]

We have a CT-1 to export 3000 Kgs. of a chemical. Out of 3000 kgs., we exported 1000 kgs by Air and we have all documents to get a proof of export. The remaining 2000 kgs were shipped by Sea. The Customs department drew a sample and sent for Analysis. It has been more than a month and we have not received the Analysis Results yet.

The Customs department has not released ARE-1 and EP copy for the Shipment by Sea and it won't release till the analysis results are received. There is no time limit on how soon the results will be received.

Both Earlier shippment of 1000 Kgs. by Air and 2000 Kgs. by Sea have reached USA and cleared in US Customs.

The excise department wants ARE-1 and EP copy of both shipments since they are under the same CT-1.

(1) How can I get Proof of Export for Both Shipments?

(2) What happens if Analysis results are not received within Six Months? Do I have to pay Excise?

My queries are:

(1) How can I get proof of exports for both shipments even

AI Summary

Proof of export remedies: secure provisional customs documents via indemnity bond or seek excise extension during analysis delays.
If exported goods have been accepted by the consignee and payment received, the exporter can seek provisional proof of export by requesting Customs to expedite documents, executing an indemnity bond to obtain ARE-1/EP copies pending analysis results, or applying to excise authorities for an extension of time to submit proof of export while Customs analysis is awaited.
