2. Based on the representation received form APEDA and the factual details provided by the Chief Commissioner of Customs, Mumbai-II, the issue pertaining to import of ‘Punnets’ as packing material for export of grapes was examined by the Board. It was found by the Board that punnets are durable for the purpose of packing and export of fresh fruits especially grapes.

3.

The said circulars were issued to simplify the identification of containers at the time of re-export by simple procedure.

4. In view of above, it was stated by the Board that the punnets imported for re-export of grapes may be extended the benefit of Notification No. 104/94-Customs dated 16.03.94 subject to the condition that they are re-exported as provided in the Notification.
