(Action: ADC/VB :)                                                                                    

1.       NOC from PHO in the assessment of Crude Glycerine:

    Shri J. Lapsia had raised the point that while assessing commodity like crude Glycerin the system demanded an NOC from PHO whereas the commodity being an industrial use item, such NOC was not required.

              In this regard, it was to informed that the matter has already been referred to the RMD, Mumbai for necessary action vide letter No. S/16-Misc-22/2010 dated 28/6/2010 requesting for RMS instruction at the time of examination of imported Crude (Glycerin/ Crude Palm Stearine).

             It was informed by Sh. Lapsia that the department was not demanding the NOC for PHO in such cases.   Since, the issue is between the department and RMD, the point may be treated as closed.

 

New Points:

1. CHA directory updation for ICES 1.5

             As per public Notice No. 20/2010 dated 28/05/2010 of Commissioner of Customs (I) and P.N. No. 13/2010 dtd 22/04/2010 of Commissioner of Customs (G) the CHAs were requested to give data for updation of CHA directory for rolling of ICEs 1.5.

          Most of the work is already done in this matter. The association may please be in touch with the CHA section to complete the work of updation at the earliest.  The point may be treated as closed.  

 

            2. B.E. pendency

             As on date (21/07/2010 ) there were 814 Bill of Entry which were assessed but duty not yet paid. The EDI System shows that the duty amount involved is Rs. 52.4 Crores. The  detailed list of these B.E. : CHA wise as contained  in the  CD was handed over  to Shri Nailesh Gandhi of BCHHA . The CHAs may check up the present status whether still pending and if so then pursue for duty payment as interest is liable to be paid as per section 47 (2) of Customs Act 1962.

                       Asstt. Commr. Of Customs, EDI vide letter dt. 11/10/2010 sent fresh CD containing the CHA wise list of Bills of entry pending for duty payment for the period 1999 to 08/10/2010 for further action by CHA. Instead of reduction in the pendency of Bills of Entry, it has increased to 848. It is, therefore, felt that concrete efforts in this regard are to be made for liquidation by the Association. The latest CD containing list of 848 pending Bills of Entry was handed over to Sh. Kiran Rambia, member of  BCHAA.

          Sh. S. K. Rahman, Addl. Commr. of Customs discussed at length how to close the Bills of Entry in the system with the association and the members of association assured the chairman that they will take up the matter urgently with their association members.                                                             

         

    3. High Sea Sale:

The Standing Order has already been issued; however, the member of CHA association pointed out that the Dy. Commissioner of Customs, Gr. IIA was not accepting the High Sea Sale transactions without loading of 2% on the invoice value. The chairman directed CHA to approach Joint Commr. Gr. IIA to resolve the matter. The point may be treated as closed.

 

NEW POINTS

1.         The chairman discussed whether the association would like to have Union Bank of India, Baazar gate Branch, Mumbai for physical collection of duty. All the members agreed to the proposal as they feel that to have more banks for duty collection will be easier for them. The chairman told them that he would recommend the name of the Union Bank of India, Baazar gate Branch, Mumbai for the above purpose.

               The next Trade Facilitation Meeting will be held on 24/11/2010 at 5 p.m. in the conference hall, New Custom House, Mumbai.

                                                                             (Action: ADC/ A (G) :)

1.       NOC from PHO in the assessment of Crude Glycerine:

    Shri J. Lapsia raised the point that while assessing commodity like crude Glycerin the system demands an NOC from PHO whereas the commodity being an industrial use item, such NOC is not required. The Commissioner asked for systemic correction ?

              In this regard, this is to inform that the matter has already been referred to the RMD, Mumbai for necessary action vide letter No. S/16-Misc-22/2010 dated 28/6/2010 requesting for RMS instruction at the time of examination of imported Crude (Glycerin/ Crude Palm Stearine).

Action A.C Gr. I.

New Points:

1. CHA directory updation for ICES 1.5

             As per public Notice No. 20/2010 dated 28/05/2010 of Commissioner of Customs (I) and P.N. No. 13/2010 dtd 22/04/2010 of Commissioner of Customs (G) the CHAs were requested to give data for updation of CHA directory for rolling of ICEs 1.5.

          It was requested by the members that the CHA section may be requested to provide the list of the CHA  who have either given /not given the data as per PN 13/2010 so that necessary action can be taken by them. Also additional T.As be posted to CHA section so as to expedite the matter. It was decided to refer the matter to the Commissioner (General) for necessary action.

Action :- Commissioner (General)

2. B.E. pendency

           As on date (21/07/2010) there are 814 Bill of Entry which were assessed but duty not yet paid. The EDI System shows that the duty amount involved is Rs. 52.4 Crores. The detailed list of these B.E. CHA wise as contained in the CD was handed over to the representative of BCHHA. The CHAs may check up the present status whether  Bills of Entry are still pending and if so then pursue  importers for payment of duty alongwith interest  as per section 47 (2) of Customs Act 1962.

Shri Kiran Rambia requested to issue a fresh list as the earlier list was issued two months earlier and many B.E. might have been closed by now.  It was ordered to provide them the latest list by pending Bills of Entry.

                                                                            

          Incidentally, members of the BCHHA mentioned that Asstt. Commissioner of Customs, Group VB, has issued a letter to one of their member M/s Nagarkot Forwarders Pvt. Ltd. requesting them to give the present status of the Bills of Entry of their client pending for payment of duty and clearance of goods failing which action will be initiated against them as provided in law. The members of BCHAA have taken the wording as offending since they have no role to play if the importer is not paying duty and clearing the goods. They can only pursue the importer. Their sentiments were noted. However, it is noticed that the Asstt. Commissioner of Customs has written a letter consequent to a Note dtd. 20/08/2010 wherein the Commissioner directed ACs/DCs to take up the matter with the CHA to set the duty paid within 15 days failing which the department may refer the matter to MbPT for auction of the goods. It appears that it is a slip on the part of the Asstt. Commissioner of Customs & no action can be taken against CHA in such cases.

                                                                                              (Action AC/EDI)

3. High Sea Sale: - Shri Omprakash Agarwal said that the Standing Order issued by the Commissioner (Import) is not available on the Customs website. He wanted to see the copy of Standing Order No 17/2010 dt. 20/07/2010, the Chairman had provided him the copy of the said Standing Order. The Chairman also dircted to put the said Standing Order on Customs website. 

                                                                                                                 

Action AC EDI                           

               The next Trade Facilitation Meeting will be held on 20/10/2010 at 5 pm in the conference hall, New Custom House, Mumbai. The points sponsored for discussion for the next meeting may be sent by 06.10.2010 to the Addl. Commissioner of Customs (Appraising General) (Import), New Custom House, Mumbai.

 

The meeting ended with vote of thanks to the chair.

 

This issues with the approval of Commissioner of Customs (I).

MINUTES OF THE TRADE FACILITATION COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON 09.06.2010 AT 16.30 HRS

 

            The monthly meeting of the Trade Facilitation Committee was held on 09.06.2010 at 16.30 Hrs in the Conference Hall, 2nd Floor, New Custom House, Mumbai.  Shri Sujit K. Sinha, Commissioner of Customs (E.P.) chaired the meeting.

            The following Members from the Department and Trade attended the meeting :

 

1.                  Shri Dilip Goyal, JC

2.                  Shri Rajesh F Dhabre, JC

3.                  Shri R.K. Sehgal, DC

4.                  Shri Pankaj Shah, BCHAA

5.                  Shri Kiran Dhingra, BCHAA

6.                  Shri Paresh Shah, BCHAA

7.                  Shri Nilesh Gandhi, BCHAA

 

2.         The Chairman welcomed the Members of the Trade.  As has been seen from the previous Minutes, the Chairperson noticed that only Members of BCHAA have regularly attended the TFC Meetings and the Members of other Associations have not attended.  In this regard, the Chairman suggested to convey to all Members of other Associations and even Association of Shipping Lines to attend the Meetings, so that the purpose of conducting the Trade Facilitation Meetings will be served. 

 

3.         The Members of the BCHAA raised the issue of problems faced in getting Drawback Benefits.  Shri Nilesh Gandhi pointed out that the major reason for non sanction of Drawback is EGM error, which can be on two counts, where the details on the Shipping Bill and the Export General Manifesh do not tally.  In some cases, where the LEO date is not entered by the shed PO before the EGM is filed, in such cases the entire EGM filed by the Shipping Line will show error.  The Commissioner proposed that for effective solution of the problem, a meeting with representatives of the Shipping Lines should be held for proper appreciation of their problems and requirement.  He also requested that even the BCHAA should also request the representative of the Shipping Lines to attend the next TFC Meeting.  The Members of the Trade and CHA Association confirmed that they have circulated the list provided by the Department and requested all the Members of BCHAA to approach the exporters so that they can provide necessary documents / clarifications in settlement of pending Drawback claims. The Members of the BCHAA further stated that in old Drawback cases where action is pending for want of Test Reports, in case of regular imports, the previous Test Reports may be considered to finalize such cases.  The Chairman assured that he will look into the matter for taking appropriate decision on this issue.

 

4.         Shri Pankaj Shah stated that there is large number of cases of Refund pending for finalization.  They further stated that the Ledger Accounts is a sufficient proof to verify whether the Applicant has passed on the burden of duty to others.  They further added that as per the Board Circular, SAD Refunds are not as per Section 27 of the Customs Act, 1962, and Ledger Accounts certified by the CA should be accepted. The Chairman stated that he is aware of the issue and a reference has already been made to the Board, still he will look into the matter.

 

5.         Shri Nilesh Gandhi also raised an issue that the present procedure of resorting to back to town of exports goods in case of shutting down of cargo by the Shipping Line is cumbersome and time consuming and requested that a simpler and speeder process be adopted.  The Chairperson stated that he will look into the procedure and consider the request after examining the issue in detail.

 

6.         Shri Nilesh Gandhi further raised that the procedure of drawing of samples for testing purpose are cumbersome.  He stated that many samples, which were drawn from Docks, were not available in the Department, therefore the Test Reports for these samples could not be obtained from the DYCC.  The Chairperson ensured that he will look into the matter and do the needful after examining the issue.  Shri Gandhi brought to the notice of the Chairman, a pending Drawback claim of M/s. Gujarat Ambuja Cement under Section 74.  The Chairman assured to expedite the matter.

 

7.         The next meeting of the Trade Facilitation Committee is scheduled to be held on 14.7.2010 at 16.30 Hrs in the Conference Hall, 2nd Floor, New Custom House, Ballard Estate, Mumbai.  The Members are requested to send the Agenda on or before 9.7.2010 to the Fax no. 22671113.

  10. Shri D.L. Thakkar, BCHAA

 

 

The Commissioner of Customs (EP) welcomed the Trade Members. 

 

1.         The Commissioner (EP) enquired about the status of the two issues raised in the last meeting viz. non-submission of detention and demurrage charges on import of bulk cargo as a result of which many provisional assessment are pending in the group and Bills of Entry pending in the EDI System. 

Shri Pankaj Shah of BCHAA informed that they have received list of B/Es pending in EDI System but have not received the lists of the pending provisional assessment. 

 

2.         In respect of delay in processing the refund claims, members have been informed that normally processing is done on the basis of age of refund which is determined from the date of filing.  It was also informed to members that two ACs, Shri Pramod Kumar and Shri Y.S. Reddy have been given 150 cases each to clear the backlog.  The issue was also raised whether refund can be processed in cases where no accounts have been presented to scrutinize whether the cases are covered by the bar of ‘unjust enrichment’.  Such cases are kept pending and will be disposed when the financial year is over.

 

It was also raised that in cases where only Ledger accounts have been submitted can the refund be processed.  The matter has been referred to Chief Commissioner’s Unit for clarification.

 

3.         The next meeting of the Trade Facilitation Committee is scheduled to be held on 14.04.2010 at 16.30 Hrs in the Conference Hall, 2nd Floor, New Custom House, Ballard Estate, Mumbai.  The Members are requested to send the Agenda on or before 03.04.2010 to the Fax No. 22671113.

           

The meeting ended with thanks to the Chair.
