Export Ex-Warehouses

Customs Entries (SAD) will be submitted to Customs with Export License. These will be verified by the Export Officer and will issue license number. The goods entered for export on the entry will be verified against the warehouse registrar.

The Warehouse Officer after receiving the processed entry with the release note will verify the goods in the warehouse with the entry. The Warehouse Officer will issue a cart-note in which he will enter all the goods that are to be exported ex-warehouse to the Export Officer at the exporting station.

When the goods are received at the export station, the Receiving Officer will check the goods against the cart-note and the original copy of entry. He/she will see that the packages arrive intact and there are no signs of tempering and the quantity received is correct. The goods are then handed over to shipping company or airline company. It should be noted that Bill of Lading or Airway Bill covers all goods exported ex-warehouse. It should appear on the outward manifest of exporting vessel or aircraft respectively.

Immediately after the departure of the exporting ship or aircraft, the Officer will check with the shipping or airline company to establish whether the goods have been shipped or not.

Landing Certificate

Customs may require the owner of any bonded goods entered for exportation to produce a Certificate of Landing from the Customs authorities at the port of destination of goods.

Landing Certificate shall not normally be demanded unless the Comptroller so direct in cases where there is suspicion of goods not being received at the port of destination.

Short Shipment of Goods Entered for Export

The exporter is required to notify the proper Officer within 24 hours after the clearance of the aircraft or ship. The goods will be re-warehoused for future exportation.
