Circular No.ES/362/2016-17 March 31, 2017
To: Members of the Council
Sub: Export of carpet under duty drawback- examination of carpets for composition, price determination, etc
Dear Member,
CBEC has issued Circular No. 10/2017- Cus dated 30.03.2017 on the above subject.
Ministry of Textiles and Carpet Export Promotion Council (CEPC) has informed the Board that in some cases, Customs field formations had caused damage to the carpets during examination/ inspection of export consignments, resulting in loss of export order as well as financial loss to exports.
In this context, care must be taken to ensure that export products including carpets should not be damaged or destroyed or cut for taking samples, conducting market enquiry.
Hence, for speedy conduct of enquiry about composition, value etc of carpets, besides the nominated members of CEPC, members may also contact the Office of Textiles Committee, Mumbai where two experts have been posted by the Development Commissioner (Handicrafts) for attending to all work related to evaluation of carpets and to sort out the cases being referred to the Textiles Committee by the Customs authorities.
Members are requested to make a note of the above and do the needful.
Thanking you,
V. ANIL KUMAR
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
