We have our IEC certtificate with the address of our regd office at mulund . The imported goods will be sent to our godown at bhiwandi which is outside mumbai octroi limits .
Will octroi be payable by us on the imports that land in Mumbai docks ???
Will adding the Bhiwandi address in the IEC help in not paying octroi??

Octroi in Mumbai is paid through forms, which gives complete details of the shipments. The form is filled in duplicate. Form `A' is the original form and form `B' is duplicate copy. While calculating octroi the freight is included to the invoice value. - The check post authorities retain form `A' along with the photocopy of the Invoice. Form `B' along with the original document is handed over to the customer in our case its through BLUE DART EXPRESS LIMITED to the consignee.
EXEMPTION FROM OCTROI:
Exemption is given for shipments forwarded to consignees who are located within sez AREA but for getting the exemption the consignee needs to complete the below formalities.
Apply to Director of Customs Sez with a letter and R form in triplicate, Director stamp and certify the R form stating to allow exemption.
