....Cargo originating from SEZ and lying at gateway ports because of disruption in maritime routes may be handled through a simplified procedure under Section 143AA of the Customs Act, 1962. On the exporter's request, the originating SEZ may cancel the LEO or shipping bill, after which Customs at the gateway port may permit movement of the cargo out of the port for return to the exporter or for re-routing, without requiring the containers to be brought back to the SEZ.
