Export

CBEC directed field formations to insist self-sealing if the export is not under any incentive scheme. Discuss with your AC for help.

Goods can be cleared from factory duly sealed. Goods can be cleared for export without sealing also. Any manufacturer-exporter can clear export consignment with self-sealing and self-certification- CBEC circular No. 736/52/2003-CX dated 11.8.2003. In certain cases self-sealing is mandatory.  Self-sealing are compulsory for self-sealing in case of free shipping bills, non-excisable agricultural products, third party exports and merchant exporter.

When the export consignment is cleared from factgory under any obligation due from DGFT or customs, it is always better to get it stuffed and sealed by Suprintendent of central excise, coz at the time of documentations at customs/ dgft couple of times the declarations of ARE-1, part A, sl no 3 is duly certified by supt of excise is needed, without which the process would get halt, and in case of self sealing supt may deny to issue such certificate seperately. coz he is not signing the ARE-1

Dear Prasad,

Any manufacturer-exporter can clear the goods for export consignment with self sealing and self certification. If you want to export against advance licence you will not get any export incentive. Stuffing of containers inside the factory, under supervision of central excise officers is permissible. Pre-shipment quality inspection, where required, should be carried out before stuffing. The superintendent of central excise shall send an examination report of factory sealed packages/containers to the port/airport of export.
