New format for sea cargo manifests

12 Feb 2020 / India

Sending/filing of sea cargo manifests in India is due to switch to a new format from 16 February.

The Customs authorities at various locations have been working aggressively towards this new development. Steamer Agent Registration procedures in the new system is reaching its final stages and stakeholders have been told to comply with the pending registration formalities, if any, without any further delay.

It is understood that trial runs and internal testing of the new system have almost been completed. It looks likely that it will come into force with a tag that both old and new versions will have to be tested for a few weeks before the old version is withdrawn.
