8. Amendment in Flight :
On account of lack of space in a particular flight or on account of flight
delays, it is not possible to load the shipments in the flight that had been
specified in the shipping bill. This would necessitate alternations in the shipping
bills. The system shall thus provide a feature for couriers to modify the shipping
bills that have been filed. For this purpose, the status of the shipping bill must be
either “Filed” or “Cleared”. Shipping bills modified in this manner must be
approved by the shed superintendent. Unapproved shipments must not be
considered for loading for export.
9. Back to Town :
For the purpose of sending shipments back to their place of dispatch, the
courier amends the shipping bill and indicates the shipments that are to be sent
back to town and gives reasons for making such a request. Permission for back to
town shall be given by the AC/DC. Shipments meant for re-export (status
“Return to Origin” or “Misrouted Shipment”) cannot be permitted to be taken
“Back to Town”.
10. Unclaimed cargo :
As per the Courier Imports and Exports (Electronic Declaration and
Processing) Regulations, 2010, any export goods that have been brought into
customs area for export purpose and have not been exported within seven days
of arrival of such goods into such area or within such extended period as
permitted by the proper officer in case of delay due to such reasons which the
proper officer considers to be beyond the control of the concerned Authorized
Courier and declared exporter, may be detained by the proper officer and sold or
disposed by the person having custody thereof, after issuing notice to the
concerned Authorized Courier and declared exporter provided the charges
payable, for storage and handling of such goods are paid by such Authorized
Courier.
11. Now in the first phase of deployment in the Bengaluru Courier
Terminal, clearance of export covered under Courier Shipping Bill IV (CSB-IV)
and Courier Shipping Bill V (CSB-V) will be undertaken on a pilot basis with
effect from 11-5-2020. In the initial stages, the pilot run would include only
selected flights which shall be notified separately while the remaining shipments
would continue to be cleared manually.
12. Action to be taken in terms of decisions conveyed in this Public
Notice should be considered as Standing Order for the purpose of Officers.
13. The above is brought to the notice of all the concerned. Difficulties,
if any, may be brought to the notice of Shri Nithinkrishna Shenoy P., Deputy
Commissioner (Courier), 080-667856602/080-66785640-E-mail - courier-bacc@gov.
