SUB: aSSESSMENT OF PIGMENTS AND DYES-COMPLETE DECLARATION REGARDING.
It has been noticed that in cases of import of pigments & dyes, the invoices attached with the Goods Declarations (GDs) contain incomplete and insufficient description, thus leading to delay and difficulties in assessment of the goods. At times documents are called for examination / assessment of these items. This further delays the processes. There do exist the guidelines/instructions on the subject but most of the times those are not followed.
2. It is, therefore, suggested to all concerned (importers/clearing agents) that all GDs relating to pigments & dyes, should be filed alongwith invoices containing invariably the below- mentioned information to enable the Customs to examine and finalize assessments correctly and promptly:-
i) Name and nature of pigments & dyes i.e. direct, reactive or vat along with trade name of the maker /manufacturer.
ii) Colour, Index number with Catalogue.
iii) Name of the maker / manufacturer, if shipments are effected through intermediaries.
iv) Country of origin.
v) Strength of the dye.
vi) Physical form of the products whether powder paste or liquid.
3. The importer/Clearing Agents shall mention the above stand complete description in clear words in respective invoices to enable the examination staff to specify and confirm the physical form of the product in their report(s) to facilitate correct assessment by the Assessing Officers.
4. The Assessment Officers at the time of assessment shall ensure that all the particulars including the physical form are duly recorded / fed in the system alongwith complete description of the goods for post clearance audit and effective monitoring.
