Attention of the Shipping Liners, Freight Forwarders, Shipping/Steamer Agents, Importers, Exporters, Customs Brokers, Custodians/Container Freight Stations, Terminal operators and all other Stakeholders is invited to ICES Advisory No.o8/zozr dated o1.o2.2o2r on the above subject

2. Kind reference is also invited to various Advisories and FAQs issued by DG (Systems) from time to time clariffng therein various aspects (including Registration) of Sea Cargo Manifest and Transshipment Regulations (SCMTR) related messages required to be filed in system by various stakeholders. Based on the queries received from various stakeholders and field formations, various clarifications are being provided herewith

3. AI'{C (Authorized other Notified Sea Carriers):

a. Registration.for Customs Brokers also working as carriers: While there is no need for separate registration for Customs Brokers under SCMT& many such entities are also engaged as freight warders, console agents etc. and therefore would require registration as ANC. The ANC registration has therefore been made available for entities having ICEGATE login as Customs Brokers. CBs, if also acting as other notified sea carriers as per the Regulations, may register under this category under the SCMTR.

b. Decrease in amount of Bank Guarantee along with suret5r bond: In terms of amended Board Notification No. g4/zozo (N.T.) dated go.og.2o2o, the guarantee amount for Surety Bond required for ANC registration has been reduced to Rupees five lakhs from the earlier ten lakhs requirement in the System. Further, as stipulated in the aforesaid notificaiion, the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) and Customs Broker licensed under the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2018 are exempted from the requirement of bank guarantee.

4. ATP (Authorized TranshiPPer): the category of a. Registration: It is noticed that although the registration under the Authorised Custodian (ACU) has been completed' by many Custodians' less. The registration as Authorized Transhipper (ATp) registration is relatively required to be custodians, who would also be doing Transshipment of cargo, are In this regard' registered as ATP well. ATP registration requires officer approval' portal the registratio advisory available ICEGATE and ICES

Advisory No. o4/zorg dated 28.C,2.2c19 may be referred. b. Requirement of National Tlanshipper Bond (TG Bond): Entities registered required to as ATP, who are iesponsible for the cargo during transshipment, are TG) the necessarily file/register a National Transhipper Bond (Bond Category - in registration System. The same was already mentioned in the previous SCMTR advisories and is also elaborated in the FAQs published on ICEGATE . However, it is noticed that the entities registered as ATPs are not registering TG bond in the system. As a result, the is a users filing bSN/SeVf messages are facing difficulties because the Transhipper Bond mandatory input wherever Transshipment cargo is being manifested. The inland transshipment messages like CIM-DP/AR etc. will also required TG bond to be quoted. List of entities already registered as ATP under Visakhapatnam Zone is enclosed in Annexure-I. It may kindly be ensured that TG bonds for each of these entities are registered in the System at the port of registration. Needless to mention, that TG bond registered at one port will be applicable across India.

S. ASC (Authorized Sea Carrier): a. Shipping Lines Registration as ASC: Before SCMTR, Indian offices of most of the foreign shipping lines used to get registered as shipping agents with Customs. As has been clarified several times before, under SCMTR, any direct representative of a foreign shipping line needs to take registration as ASC. it is learnt that many such entities have registered as ASA (Authorized Sea Agent) instead. While both the ASC as well as ASA can file sea manifests, tletails of the PAN of the actual carrier or the ASC are to be mandatorily given in the manifest. It may kindly be taken up with such shipping lines and necessary registration formalities as ASC for the authorized sea carriers be completed at the earliest.

U. Using foreign Shipping Line code as Commercial Code under Authorized Operation.SCMTR:

i. During the registration as ASC, the entities are required to enlist the Shipping Line codes corresponding to the Shipping Lines they represent in the Authorized Page 2 of 11 A puBLrc NoTtcE No. 05/ 202l-cusToMs C. No. IrIIU q8l 35lzozr-Cus.Tech Date: t1.o2.2o2t

Operations section of the registration form. Earlier, shipping lines used. to get their shipping line codes distinctly at customs locations. So, there were instances of same entrty having diffBrent shipping line codes at different customs ports. However, to avoid any confusion in the declaration of Commercial Code for shipping lines under the Authorized Operations within Entity Registration in system, now the the unique foreign Shipping Line code as used internationally and enclosed in Annexure llcan also be given bythe ASC as commercial code.

ii. For ASCs contracted for chartered Bulk Cargo vessels operated by different Shipping Lines which may not be available at the time of registration, Commercial code can just be mentioned as BLK.

6. The contents of this Public Notice should be treated as Standing Order for the purpose of OfEcers and Staff.
