Sub: Request for Discontinuation of High Seas Sale (HSS) Registration at Import noting Section Air Cargo Complex, Mumbai
Dear Member,
Air Cargo Complex (Sahar) has issued Public Notice No. 42/2017 dated 24.11.2017 regarding request for discontinuation of High Seas Sale Registration at Import Noting Section, Air Cargo Complex, Mumbai.
In terms of Para 2.38 of the Foreign Trade Policy (2015-2020), sale of goods on high seas for importation into India is permitted subject to the said policy or any other law for the time being in force.
In this regard, presently following documents are mandatorily prescribed for registration of High Seas Sale contract in the Import Noting Section of Air Cargo Complex (Import) Cornmissionerate, Mumbai.
The issue was re-examined in light of various representations received from members of trade for discontinuation of mandatory registration of HSS agreement in Import Noting Section on the ground that the said registration process does not serve any useful purpose as all the aforesaid documents are also required to be submitted before concerned Assessment Groups/Import Shed.
In order to reduce transaction time & cost, prevalent overlap/duplication of functions and further ease the business process, the Customs has revised the procedures for registration of "High Seas Sale" transactions:-
