Meeting No.19/AM22 held on 30.12.2021

Subject: To allow MEIS benefit against 56 shipping bills.

The applicant stated that in case of export of bulk liquids like petro-chemical products, the goods are loaded on to ship through pipeline and the quantity of goods loaded in ship is decided after the completion of loading by an independent surveyor. Permission for loading the goods on ship is granted by the customs authorities (manual LEO) based on export quantity indicated on the provisional shipping bill filled by the exporter. However, given the nature of these products, there is always a different in the quantity indicated on the shipping bill filed provisionally and quantity finally exported as assessed by the surveyor. Similarly, the unit price of the export product indicated in the provisional shipping bill is also indicative price and not final price, especially in case of petro- chemical products. Normally, the sales contracts for these goods are based on certain benchmark prices and their average normally over a month. Once the price of the commodity is decided then the exporter approaches the customs for finalization of shipping bill based on final quantity loaded on the ship. At this stage, the custom officer after correcting the value and quantity of the exports finalize the shipping bill and enters the LEO permission in the system.

on final quantity loaded on the ship. At this stage, the custom officer after correcting the value and quantity of the exports finalize the shipping bill and enters the LEO permission in the system. In the view of above practice for finalization of shipping bills adopted by customs, in cases of exports made by them under the said 56 shipping bills where actual exports happened prior to 31.08.2020 but while entering the actual quantity as per Bill of lading, customs EDI system changed th: original LEO date and the new LEO date recorded in the EDI module i.e. after 01.09.2020. As the finalized LEO date transmitted on DGFT server after 01.09.2020, all these 56 shipping bills become ineligible for MEIS benefit as DGFT vide notification no.30 dated 01.09.2020 announced discontinuation of MEIS scheme w.e.f. 01.01.2021. Therefore, they were unable to apply for MEIS benefit. Hence, requested to allow MEIS benefit against these 56 shipping bills.

Decision: The Committee went through the statements made by the firm and decided to refer the issue to PC-3 Division for its examination and thereafter the matter will be brought back to PRC.
