When a consignment requiring import license has landed in a port, but the license is held up elsewhere, is there any provision to clear the goods pending production of license?
A The importer has to produce acceptable documentary evidence to show the Customs authorities where the goods are landed, that they are in possession of a valid import license, but not able to produce it immediately, and request for releasing the consignment on execution of a license bond with surety, pending production of the license/release advice. The Customs authorities may allow clearance on the strength of such bond and guarantee executed (Section 143 of customs Act 1962).
