https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=102559 The SOP for movement and cross-stuffing of International Transshipment-FCL containers between Port Terminals and designated CFSs now requires the Port Terminal Operator to verify container numbers and seal integrity before permitting terminal exit or entry; exit verification must be undertaken against the EIR copy. Physical verification by the Preventive Officer at terminal gates is dispensed with to reduce congestion, while Customs control continues through the Custodian-cum-Carrier Bond under HCCAR, 2009. Any container-number or seal discrepancy found during transit or upon arrival must be immediately reported to the jurisdictional AC/DC, and further processing requires the proper officer's permission. All other Customs checks and statutory requirements continue unchanged, with immediate effect. en-us Mon, 10 Aug 2026 12:18:18 +0530 Mon, 10 Aug 2026 12:18:17 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/highlights?id=102559 The SOP for movement and cross-stuffing of International Transshipment-FCL containers between Port Terminals and designated CFSs now requires the Port Terminal Operator to verify container numbers and seal integrity before permitting terminal exit or entry; exit verification must be undertaken against the EIR copy.
