Para 4.40 of the Handbook of Procedures (Vol 1) allows certain notified ports to be treated as a single port for the purposes of imports and exports. However, the present distributed architecture of the Customs electronic system does not allow import clearances from all the notified ports in the same city. Therefore, the Regional Licensing Authorities will issue all Licences for a single notified Port only along with the unique six digit Location Code of the Customs ‘Port of Registration’ to facilitate speedy clearances against the licences issued.
