Customs Transit Declaration requirement ensures approved documentation and bond before goods transit through foreign territory into India. These regulations require consignors or carriers to file a prescribed Customs Transit Declaration and execute a bond at the Indian customs station of exit for goods moving through foreign territory; the proper officer must approve the declaration before loading, may require sealing with a customs one time lock and must endorse the declaration with the lock number. On re entry into India the arrival officer verifies the seal or inspects goods if the seal is broken, endorses the declaration or records irregularities, and upon endorsed arrival the exit station may close or credit the bond; electronic arrival entries can substitute for the physical endorsement.
