Project imports registration requirement ensures goods under the project heading are assessed and cleared only against registered contracts before clearance. Project Imports Regulations, 1986 require that goods under the project imports tariff heading be assessed and cleared only when imported against specific contracts registered with the proper customs officer prior to clearance. The importer must apply in writing at the port of import, provide plant location, description of articles, installed or designed capacity (and proposed additions for substantial expansion), the original contract and supporting licences or approvals, after which the proper officer records registration, assigns a number, and returns unneeded originals.
