https://www.taxtmi.com/circulars?id=1604 Imports are split into consignments already en route/landed and future shipments. For en route/landed consignments, 100% physical examination is required before clearance; sealed containers may be re-warehoused to manufacturer premises for inspection with police assistance at importer cost and reconciliation with port records. Future imports in shredded form may enter without pre-shipment certificates, but unshredded, compressed or loose scrap must arrive only at designated customs stations with an approved pre-shipment inspection certificate; lacking that certificate, consignments face 100% examination and penal action, while certified consignments are subject to prescribed sampling regimes and full examination of selected containers. en-us Mon, 18 Oct 2004 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 28 Feb 2009 16:09:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/circulars?id=1604 Imports are split into consignments already en route/landed and future shipments.
