Clarification regarding Customs clearance of goods under Advance Authorization where the Authorization was received subsequent to date of shipment (22 Jul)
The Foreign Trade Policy allowed for goods that were already imported / shipped / arrived, but where the importer had not yet received an Advance Authorization, to first warehouse the goods without the Authorization; and thereafter clear the goods for home consumption against an Authorization subsequently. However, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade received representations that the provision was being interpreted as to mandatorily require warehousing in all cases, where the Authorization was issued subsequent to the date of shipment, that is, date of Bill of Lading. Accordingly, the Directorate General of Foreign Trade has now clarified that goods already imported / shipped / arrived, may be cleared against an Authorization issued subsequent to the date of shipment, without any mandatory requirement of warehousing.
