Sub: Introduction of facility of examination of DPD containers at port terminal
As you may be aware, the area operated by M/s. Bharat Mumbai Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. (BMCT) was declared as Customs Area, and moreover, BMCT was appointed as the Custodian of the imported goods received in and exported goods brought into the notified area and for handling of such goods.
Further, BMCT has expressed their willingness to provide space for “examination” within their Port Terminal area as well as other infrastructure / logistics to facilitate drawal of samples or examination of goods imported by DPD importers, where required, to be conducted as per provisions of Customs Act, 1962.
Now, JNCH has decided that in the interest of trade, to further provide ease of doing business and to cut down the dwell time and cost of clearance, the request of BMCT for examination of containers of DPD importers which are facilitated for examination is accepted subject to conditions prescribed in the Public Notice No. 44/2019 dated 16th May, 2019.
