Abstract

Certain procedures have to be followed for the purpose of clearing goods to be imported. Briefly these procedures have been discussed below.
The person in-charge of a vessel, ship or aircraft must call or land only at a Customs Port or a Customs Airport only. It may call or land at any other place only if compelled by accident, bad weather or due to some genuine unavoidable reason. In such a case, he must report to the nearest police station or custom officer of such emergency arrival. In the case of import of goods through the land route, the vehicle should follow the approved route and arrive at the approved Land Customs Station only.

The person in-charge of a vessel, ship, aircraft or vehicle must submit within 24 hours after arrival at a Customs Area an Import Manifest or Import Report in the prescribed form in duplicate. In the case of a vessel or aircraft, it is called import manifest, while in the case of a vehicle, it is called import report. This will give details of cargo to be unloaded, unaccompanied baggage, goods to be transshipped, retention cargo, details such as general declaration about the conveyance, stores on the conveyance, private property in possession of the Captain of the aircraft or Master of the ship and other members of crews and Passenger Manifest. Separate declaration has to be given in respect of goods like arms, explosives, narcotics, dangerous drugs, gold and silver. The Import Manifest may be amended only with permission if there was no fraudulent intention. This report is not required if the conveyance is carrying only luggage of its occupants.
