Shut out Shipments and Short Shipments
(i) When part of a shipment covered by a GR form already filed with Customs is short-shipped, exporter must give notice of short shipment to Customs in form and manner prescribed. In case of delay in obtaining certified short shipment notice from Customs, exporter should give an undertaking to the authorised dealer to the effect that he has filed the short-shipment notice with the Customs and that he will furnish it as soon as it is obtained. Authorised dealer should send the short shipment notice along with the GR duplicate to Reserve Bank.
(ii) Where a shipment has been entirely shut out and there is delay in making arrangements to re-ship, exporter will give notice in duplicate to Customs in the manner and in form prescribed for the purpose attaching thereto the unused duplicate copy of GR form and the shipping bill. Customs will verify that the goods were actually shut out, certify copy of the notice as correct and forward it to Reserve Bank together with unused duplicate copy of the GR form. In this case, the original GR form received earlier from Customs will be cancelled. If the shipment is made subsequently, a fresh set of GR form must be completed.
