I (Meaning and importance of Exports) Unit Structure

2) Verification of documents 
– 
The customs appraiser verifies the details mentioned in each 
document and ensures that all formalities have been complied with 
by the exporter. It satisfied
; he issues “A Shipping Bill Number” 
which is very important from the exporter‟s point of view. 
3) Carting order 
– 
The custom house agent of the exporter approaches the 
superintendent of the concerned port trust for obtaining a carting 
order. After obtaining the carting order, the cargo is physically 
moved inside the docks, which is basically the permission to move 
cargo inside the docks. The carting order is issued by means of an 
endorsement on the duplicate copy of the shipping bill. 
4) Storing the goods in the sheds 
– 
After securing the carting order, the goods are moved inside 
the docks. The goods are then stored in the sheds at the docks. 
5) Examination of goods 
– 
The customs examiner examines the goods and gets the 
package sealed in his presence. If satisfied the examiner grants 
permission for the loading of the goods onto the ship in the form of 
a “Let Export” order. The same procedure is now processed 
through Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system. 
6) 
Obtaining ―Let ship order‖ – 
The custom House Agent submits the duplicate copy of the 
shipping bill along with other documents to customs preventive 
offices. If the customs preventive officer finds that every thing is in 
order he endorses the duplicate copy of shipping bill with “Let ship 
order”. 
7) Loading of goods 
– 
After obtaining the “Let ship” order the goods are loaded on 
the ship for which the mate of the ship issues a “Mate‟s Receipt” to 
the superintendent of the port. That‟s how the mate‟s receipt 
reaches the office of the port trust.
