Entry Inward and Vessel Sail-out Clearance must be granted promptly on filing the requisite documents, including Sea Arrival Manifest and Sea Departure Manifest, and completion of prescribed checks, without insisting on physical boarding of the vessel. The circular clarifies that entry inward, sail-out clearance, and boarding are separate statutory processes under the Customs Act, 1962, and that boarding under section 37 is independent of clearance formalities.
