ep 1: Enquiry:

re starting point for any Export Transaction is an enquiry. An enquiry for product should, inter alia, speci{ythe
llowing details or provide the following data :

. Size details - Std. or oversize or undersize

. Drawing, ifavailable
. Sample, if possible
. Quantity required
. Delivery schedule
. lsthe price required on FOB or C& F or CIF basis
. Mode of Dispatch - Sea, air or Sea/air
. Mode of Packing
. Terms of Payment that would be acceptable to the Buyer - lf the buyer proposes to open any Letter of Credit,
any specific requirementto be complied with by the Exporter
. lsthere any requirement ofPre'shipment inspection and ifso, by which aEency
. Any Certificate ofOrigin required - lfso, from what agency.

tep 2: Proforma generation :

ler studying the enquiry in detail, the exporter - be it Manufacturer Exporter or Merchant Exporier - will provide a Proforma lnvo

the Buyer.

ep 3i Order placement :

the offer is acceptable tothe Buyer in terms of price, delivery and payment terms, the Buyer willthen place an order on the

rporter, giving as much data as possible in terms of specifications, Part No. Quantity etc. (No standard format is required for such

purchase order)

ep 4: Order acceptance :

is advisable thatthe Exporter immediately acknowledges receipt of the order, giving a schedule forthe delivery committed.

ep 5i Goods readiness & doaumentation:

nce the goods are ready duly packed in Export worthy cases/cartons (depending upon the mode ofdespatch), the lnvoice is

epared by the Exporter. lfthe number of packages is more than one, a packing list is a must. Even lf the goods to be exported are
icisable, no excise duty need be charged atthetime of Export, as exportBoods are exempt from Central Excise, but the

14 procedure is to be followed forclaiming such an exemption. Similarly, no SalesTax also is payable for export ofgoods.

:ep 6: Goods removalfrom works :

rere are different procedures for removin8 Export consignments tothe Port, following the AR4 procedure, but it wo!ld be advisat

,get the consignment sealed bythe Central Excise authorities at the factory premises itself, so that open inspection by Customs
fthorities at the Port can be avoided.

export consignments are removed from the factoryof manufacture, followinBthe AR4 procedure, claiming exemption of excise

lty, there is an obligation cast on the exporter to provide proofofexport to the Central Excise authorities

:ep 7: DocumentsforC & F agent:

re Exporter is expected to provide the followinB documentstothe Clearing & Forwarding Agents, who are entrusted with the task

shipping the consignments, either by air or by sea.

. lnvoice
. Packing tist
. Declaration in Form SDF {to meet the requirements as per FEM) in duplicate.
. AR4 - first and the second copy
. Any other declarations, as r€quired by Customs

On account ofthe introduction of Electronic Data lnterchange (EDl) system for processinB shipping bills electronically at
most ofthe locations - both for air or sea consignments - the C&F Agents are required to file with Customs the shipping
documents, through a particular format, which willvary depending on the nature ofthe shipment. Broad categories of
export shipments are:
. lJnder claim of Drawback of duty
. Without claim of Drawback
. Export by a 100% EOU
. Under DEPS Scheme

:ep 8: Customs Clearance:

terassessment ofthe shipping billand examination ofthe cargo by Customs (where required), the export consignments are

trmitted by Customs for ultimate Export. This is whatthe concerned Customs officials callthe'LET EXPORT'endorsement on the

ripping bill.
:ep 9: Document Forwarding :

After completing the shipment formalities, the C & F Agents are expected to forward to the Exporter the following documents:

Customs signed Export lnvoice & Packing List

Duplicate of Form SDF

Exchange control copy of the Shipping Bill, processed electronically

AR4 (original duplicate) duly endorsed by customs for having effected the Export

Bill of Lading or Airway bill, as the case may be.

ep 10: Bills negotiation :

ith these authenticated shipping documents, the Exporter will have to negotiate the relevant export bill throu8h authorized

)alers of Reserve Bank, viz., Banks.

lder the Generalized System of Pieference, imports from cievolopinB countries enjoy certain duty concessions, for which the

tporters in the developing countries are expected to furnish the GSP Certificate of Origin to the Bankers, along with other shippint
)cuments,

'oadly, payment terms can be:

. DP Terms

. DA Terms

. Letter of Credit, payable at sight or payable at... days.

ep 11: Bank to bank documents forwarding :

te negotiating Bank will scrutinize the shipping documents and forward them to the Eanker of the importer, to enable him clear tl
rnsignment,

is expected of such authorized dealers of Reserve Bank to ensure receipt of export proceeds, which factor has to be intimated to
)serve Bank by means of periodical Returns.

ep 12: Customs obliSation discharge:

; indicated above, Exporters are also expected to provide proof of expod to the Central Excise authorities, on the basis of the

]stom5 endorsements made on the reverse of AR4s and get their obligation, on this score, discharged,
The revised scheme brings appropriaG synergy & convergence with the 9garmala hogramme which too
aims at promoting coastal shipping along with port modemization and new port development, port
connectivity enhancement, port-led industrial development and coastal community development. The
revised scheme is also in conformity with Plan Priorities and National objectives of the Government as in
the 12th Five Year Plan which emphasises on the need for incentivizing coastal shipping.

The financial assistance (granFin-aid) given under the Scheme will be subjed to audit by the CAG
of lrclta The revised scheme has treen released on the website of l4inistry of Shipping

Employment Multiplier

[ack ofcapital investment in shipping sectorlTraditionally, roads, railways and aviation have been the
beneficiaries of a host of subsidies, credit facilities, and 5 year plan erpenditures in post-independence
lndia with coastal shipping in the coLrntry left to compete on t,nequal terms. Ship acquisition is presently
burdened with high finance cost and low term of loan. As per the survey analysis results (presented in
table.2) 86% ofthe participants are ofthe opinion that acess to capital is a critica I elem ent, as shipping
sector (ports/operators) must be able to raise capitalquickly in orderto make infrastructure
improvements to retain existing customers and attract new ones.

lnadequate lnlrastructure:.lndian Major Ports do not have separate berthing facilities or special
berthing policies for coastalshipping. As perthe survey analysis 72% ofthe survey participants
complaints that Coastalships calling at major ports often do not receive priority for berthing.As perthe
survey analysis report, presented in table - 7, 8296 ofthe participants feel that development of Non-
Major ports at a reasonable distance along the coasts of lndia is necessaryto develop coastalshippinB
and 77% ofthe participants feel ports that can offer berths regularly may be a bette. option for coastal
trafflc. Over 70% ofthe participants suggest to provide pre-designated lay-up areas and repair berths in
ports as coastalships frequently requires maintenance and repair. 86% ofthe survey participants
complaints that the first and last mile connectivity, rail and road connectivity, in the ports are
inadequate. About 68% ofthe survey participants complain that there are not sufficient CFS and
warehouses in the port area, especially in the non-major ports. Also 72% olthe respondents feelthat
ship building and ship repairingyardsare inadequate.

Cabotage policy based restrictions:- As presented in table -8, Over 50% ofthe suwey pa rticipa nts feels
absolute cabotage is necessary forthe groMh of coastalshipping in India. However, the other 50% feel
that opening the containerized cargo sector (domestic & foreign) to foreign players will promote the
coastal container trade. Considering the current inadequacy of the lndian coastal fleet, and the need to
introduce competition and growth in containerisation, 59% ofthe survey respondents feelthat a certain
degree of relaxation in cabotage policy might be needed for few years till coastal shipping grows
sumciently.

Action plan for developing lndian coastalshipping

The actions required to betaken for addressingthe issues and challenges faced by the stakeholders in
coastal shipping are discussed here. These suggested actions, when implemented are expected to
promote the growth of coasta I shipping in lndia.

6.1 Development of physical infrastructure

 a. Ports related lnfrastrudurei lndia should develop dedicated transport corridors in a planned way.
Selected minor ports should be developed so as to identify specific origin -destinations on which
identified ca rgo could be moved at lower cost through coastal shipping. Adequate berthing facility such
as number of benhs, sufficient length for proper berthing ofthe vessels etc, to be provided at the ports
for coastal!essels so asto ensure fasterturn-around . Further, dedicated berths should be provided for
coastal ship! at Major Ports to avoid long waiting times. Also, the port terminals should have
mechanised and sophisticated cargo handling equipments to facilitate faster operations which would
help quick t rrn-around of vessels. Due to frequent repair requirements, pre-designated lay-up areas and
repair berths at ports are required where in repairs can be undertaken.

b. Strategic Location of MeBa Ports and Transshipment terminalst At present, there is no

comprehensive and coherent strategy for developing the existing ports or in deciding the location of
new ports in lndia A key government priority should be to invest in 2 to 3 Mega ports with
transshipment (Hub) terminals on each coast. The strategic location of transshipment terminals makes
them ideal Ior the inter-coastal movement of domestic lndian containers through coastal shipping. The
hub port can attract additional cargo volumes which could be feedered out to smaller ports in the
country,

I c. Need to promote a robust lndian coastatfleeti As pcf the Ministry of Shipping's statistics, the
' tonnage deployed for coastal trade is only 10.9% ofthe total tonnage. AmonB these vessels the number
of actual cargo carrying vessels are negligible. Suficient Roll on - Roll off (Ro-Ro) vessels, which are
desiSned to carry wheeled cargo end load on - Load otf ([o-Lo) services are also not available along the
lndian coasi at present. lntroduction of such efficient multimodal transport system will make coastal
shipping mc,re attractive. Greater harmonisation ofthe River Sea Vessels (RSV)and lnland Vessels
(lvs)will inj€ct fresh dynamism into this sector and hopefully this would be an answer to the present
shortage of tonnage for domestic run.

d. Promote usage offoreign containers for domestic useiAs per the Customs notification No:
450/69/2000-CUS lV dated 30th October 2001foreign marine containers are permitted to use for
domestic traffic for a period of 5 months. Coastal liners should utilize this facility at least to expand their
reach to th€ special container market like open top, flat rack, tank containers and reefers without
purchasing or leasing the containers until steady voiume is built up. This move would considerably
minimize container imbalances and repositioning costof both overseas and domestic carriers. However,
very few lines utilise this facility at present.

e. lmprove Connectivity: The first and last mile connectivity is indispensable for attracting cargo to
coastal shippinB as it cannot serve the door-to door requirements of the customer. This will require
better conn3ctions between ports and the rail and inland waterway networks together with
improvements in the quality of port services. Given the near saturation of rail/road connectivityto
Maior Ports in particular, it is imperative to explore connectivity options through water mode wherever
feasible.
f. Provide adequate Container Freight Stations and Storage facilities:-Modern and technologically
advanced CFSS have a significant role in effective custom clearance activities in the port, and thereby
shorten the turnarolnd time ofships. More CFSS need to be developed in the vicinity of export clusters
across the country to promote consolidation (LCt) and containerization of ca rgo. Domestic ports suffer
from inadequate storage facilities, which result in delay in consi8nment delivery. Many multi-modal
logistics parks should be developed across the country near the transportation hubs and at major
industrialcentres,
