Vide Public Notice No. 53/2018 JNCH dated 30.03.2018 (directions were issued to port terminals in terms of Clause (n) of Regulation 5(1) and Sub Regulation (2) of Regulation 7 of Handling of Cargo in Customs Areas Regulations, 2009) provided that:
i. DPD Importers are required to get themselves registered at JNPCT only. After obtaining DPD permission letter from JNCH Customs, Importers are required to submit specified documents as per prevalent practice for registration at JNPCT. JNPCT will allot unique code to these DPD Importers. Other terminals (NSICT/NSIGT/GTI/BMCT) will use the same DPD Code (allotted by JNPCT) for the purpose of extending DPD facility to Importer including opening PD account etc.
ii. Whenever such DPD code is allotted by JNPCT, intimation of the same should be sent to other terminals (NSICT/NSIGT/GTI/BMCT). Thereafter, importer should approach other terminals to comply with other requirements like opening of PD Account etc with the same DPD code (as allotted by JNPCT).
iii. GTI/NSICT/NSIGT/BMCT will share existing DPD codes allotted by them to DPD clients with JNPCT. While allotting unique DPD codes to new DPD clients, to avoid duplicity, JNPCT have to ensure that these new DPD codes are not the same as already allotted by other Terminal Operators to any DPD Importer. iv. JNPCT have to share DPD codes already allotted to DPD clients with other Terminal Operators. In order to achieve single DPD code at all Terminals, GTI, NSICT, NSIGT and BMCT have to replace their existing DPD codes to the DPD codes provided by JNPCT within 45 days of issuance of this Public Notice.
3. Issue was also discussed during the meeting with CSLA, MANSA, Port Terminals conducted on 5th July 2018 and it was informed that there are several instances where DPD importer are only registered with JNPCT Terminal but did not approach other terminals (GTI, NSICT/ NSIGT or BMICT) to obtain registration and comply with other requirements like opening of PD Account etc with the same DPD code (as allotted by JNPCT). There are situations where DPD deliveries are adversely affected especially when calling terminal of vessel is changed.

In view of the above, it has been decided that all DPD importers, who are registered with either JNPCT or any other Terminal but not registered with all the Terminals should obtain registration with other Terminals and comply with other requirements like opening of PD Account etc. In this regard, it is also being informed again that compliance of such requirements is simple and can be done online. Necessary links are provided in the Annexure A. 5. In case of any difficulty, the issue may be brought to the notice of Additional Commissioner in charge of ‘DPD Cell’, NS-III (email address: dpd.amijnch@gmail.com.)
