PUBLIC NOTICE NO. 15/2000-(APPRAISEMENT)

(Amendment in Public Notice No. 06/2000 (Appg)

SUB:  PROCEDURE FOR INTER-WHARVES MOVEMENT OF CONTAINERIZED CARGO.

M/s. Pak Shaheen had represented that the extension of Public Notice No.06/2000 to Pak Shaheen was creating problem for them. Accordingly a study has been carried out in this regard which has revealed that in the above referred Public Notice M/s. Pak Shaheen have been treated as a wharf whereas, M/s. Pak Shaheen is a bonded container terminal. Wharf as defined in Section 2(v) of the Customs Act, 1969 means any place in Customs-port approved under clause (b) of Section 10 for the loading and unloading of goods or any class of goods. Section 10 authorizes CBR to declare proper places as wharf by notification official gazette. M/s. Pak Shaheen is not notified by CBR under Section 10(b) as wharf, consequently it is not a wharf as for as customs law is concerned.

It is therefore notified that the procedure for inter-wharves, movement of containerized cargo devised through Public Notice 06/2000 dated 10.03.2000 is not applicable to M/s. Pak Shaheen. The word ‘Pak Shaheen’ where-ever appearing in Public Notice 06/2000 is modified to that extent.

The movement of containerized Cargo to Pak Shaheen shall continue to be dealt under standing Orders 05/81, 06/81, 05/97, as was being done before the issuance of Public Notice 06/2000.
