Sub: Extension of facility of Direct Port Delivery to main importers and other steps taken for ease of doing business
Dear Member,
This is to inform you that the Office of the Commissioner of Customs, JNCH (Nhava Sheva) has issued Public Notice no. 161/2016 dated 28.11.2016 on the above subject.
It has been observed by JNCH Customs that Direct Port Delivery (DPD) facility reduces the time and cost for importers considerably. Hence, in order to reduce dwell time and cost associated with import at Nhava Sheva, it has been decided to extend Direct Port Delivery (DPD) permission to importers as mentioned in the conditions given in the Public Notice. This DPD facility has been extended to said importers on the basis of the volume of transactions and on the basis of assessment made by JNCH Customs regarding their ability to comply with the conditions as specified in this Public Notice. However, permission for DPD may be withdrawn by the jurisdictional Commissioner of Customs at any time in case of failure for adherence to conditions or any violation.
For more information, members may kindly refer to the above Public Notice and make note of the same.
Thanking you,
V. ANIL KUMAR
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
