I am directed to invite your attention to above mentioned subject and to state that the Ministry of Commerce has brought to the notice of the Board that the exporters of hosiery are facing problems in shipment of exports via a port other than the port mentioned in the AEPC certificate for which they have to obtain the amendment in the AEPC certificate and then the amendment in the Shipping Bill is permitted by the Customs. In the entire process delay is caused which eventually affects the target date of exporters.
