INSTRUCTION FOR BOOKING OF FOREGIN ARTICLES


A copy of Director (Foreign Post), Chennai lr.No.GE/Misc-CP 72/2010 on the above mentioned subject is reproduced below for information, guidance and necessary action. This may be brought to the notice of all concerned under proper acquittance.

             
           This is regarding ensuring the enclosure of Customs Declaration forms (CD forms) along with all the international outward postal articles. In this regard, this is to inform that despite the fact that CD forms can be downloaded from India Post Website, it is still observed that this office receives international outward parcels without CD forms or with incomplete CD forms i.e. without the description, weight &  value of the contents. The Assistant Commissioner of Customs, Postal Appraising Department – Air, Meenambakkam, Chennai – 600 027 has also reported that with regard to export of medicines (Pharmaceutical products / Health supplements etc., ) the senders fail to submit the documents such as Invoice, Purchase bill, prescription and NOC from Assistant Drugs Controller Unit. Similarly with regard to export of statue, the parcel does not contain any purchase bill or Antiquity Certificate from the Archaeological Survey of India. It has also been reported by the Assistant Commissioner of Customs (PAD-Air), Chennai that he telephone / mobile numbers furnished by the senders in the Customs Declaration forms attached to the parcels appear to be incorrect on verification in some cases.

            Hence, it is requested to issue suitable instructions to all the Post Offices to advise the Customers to give correct declaration of the items and also to mention correct contact numbers in the CD forms. It may also be ensured that no foreign article is forwarded to this office of Exchange without Custom Declaration forms along with necessary documents as mentioned above to enhance speedy disposal of articles within the country and effect quick delivery of the articles in foreign administrations.
