In this connection, attention is invited to Public Notice No. 165/2016 dated 02/12/2016 in respect of scanning procedure in case of OOC given by DPD/RMS facilitation centre Certain problems have been brought to department’s notice in this regard, especially in view of requirement of cancellation of OOC where, Risk Management System (RMS) facilitated containers (other than DPD containers) are required to be examined.
The present procedure in respect of RMS facilitated containers given in the said PN reads as follows:
“2.2. In respect of RMS facilitated containers (other than DPD containers), there is no change in the scanning procedure and the containers selected for scanning will have to be scanned as per CSD scanning list. However, if OOC is given at the facilitation centre at JNCH and subsequently it is noticed at the time of obtaining Gate pass at the CFS that the said B/E or any of the containers there in are under any hold of investigating agency like DRI, CIU, SIIB, etc. or it is marked suspicious by CSD, then the said B/E should be taken to the AC/DC(Import, Docks) in charge of the said CFS for cancelling the out of charge and further examining the goods as per procedure. The concerned CFS should ensure that Gate pass is not given to such Bills of entry and they are sent to AC/DC for further necessary action.”
For more information, you may refer to the given Public Notice No. 03/2017.
