Customs has observed that a large number of Drawback claims are pending due to non submission of reply to query raised. Detailed list of such drawback shipping bill is enclosed as Annexure-A of the Public Notice.
Several reminders have already been issued by Customs to the exporters to submit their reply so that their drawback claim can be processed but till date no reply has been received.
