Exports by Barges/Country Craft/Road Transport
Following procedure should be adopted by exporters for filing original copies of GR forms where exports are made to neighbouring countries by road, rail or river transport:
(a) In case of exports by barges/country craft/road transport, the form should be presented by exporter or his agent at the Customs station at the border through which the vessel or vehicle has to pass before crossing over to the foreign territory. For this purpose, exporter may arrange either to give the form to the person in charge of the vessel or vehicle or forward it to his agent at the border for submission to Customs.
(b) As regards exports by rail, Customs staff have been posted at certain designated railway stations for attending to Customs formalities in respect of goods consigned to Pakistan, Afghanistan or Bangladesh. They will collect the GR forms in respect of goods loaded at these stations so that the goods may move straight on to the foreign country without further formalities at the border. The list of designated Railway Stations is obtainable from Railways. In respect of goods loaded at stations other than the designated stations, exporters must arrange to present GR forms to the Customs Officer at the Border Land Customs Station where Customs formalities are completed.
