  2. Chandra says:

    We are importing goods into Mumbai Port and clear goods on payment of duty (No storage at Custom Port). After due custom clearance, imported goods are taken into our Warehouse (30 Km) but within Maharashtra (from Mumbai Port to Thane Warehouse -same State).

    NO EWAY bill required for Intra State Movement in Maharashtra.

    Do EWAY bill is required for Movement from Port to Warehouse ?

  3. Basant Sharda says:

    If we are importing material and clearing at port after clearance, we are moving the same material from port to other place in same state.
    1. This movement (from port to other place in same city) will be treated as Intrastate or Interstate?
    2. according to answer of 1 above which notification will be applied e.g. central or respective state?
