Dear Sirs,
Buyer of goods in a High Sea Sale transaction does not hold import permit in his name for the clearance of the goods. Import permit for the clearance of these goods is available in the name of High Sea Seller. Can such goods be cleared from Customs by the buyer of the goods on high sea sales without import permit in his name. Please clarify ? Thanks and Regards.
Devendra Devidasani
