<h1>CBEC Directive: Exporters Must Self-Seal Containers with Tamper-Proof Seals for Free Shipping Bills, No Officer Oversight Needed.</h1> The Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC) has issued a directive requiring exporters to self-seal containers for exports under free shipping bills, where no export incentives are claimed. This measure aims to reduce the workload on central excise staff. Exporters must use tamper-proof one-time bottle seals for safety and security. Central excise officers will not oversee the stuffing and sealing of containers for these exports. Additionally, containers will not be opened or examined at the port unless there is intelligence suggesting concealment or mis-declaration.
