Delay in release of Telegraphic Release Advice (TRA) Under Advance License/DEPB/DFRC Schemes-reg

July 28, 2003 2605 Views 0 comment Print

Trade has represented that in cases where the goods are being imported from neighbouring countries or where the import takes place through Air, often invoice/packing list/bill of lading (Airway Bill) for the import consignment are not received before hand. As a result issue of TRA by the Custom House at the port of registration of license gets delayed resulting in avoidable demurrage charges on the import goods. Trade has, therefore, represented that since the responsibility of examining the eligibility of imported goods against Advance License/DFRC License/DEPB License etc. is that of the Custom House at the port of import, in order to avoid delay in issue of TRA, Customs may be advised to issue the TRA without asking for invoice/ packing list/bill of lading.
