Dear Sirs,
Textiles
Trader Registration Circular No. 8/98
Textiles
Trader Registration Scheme
Through
Bills of Lading or Through Air Waybills
Under the Textiles
Trader Registration Scheme (TTRS), it has been a requirement that the
through bill of lading or through air waybill supporting the use of a
Transhipment Notification must be one which is issued at the original
port of loading.
-
Following a recent review of this requirement, it is now announced
that in addition to accepting through bills of lading or through air
waybills issued at the original port of loading as has been the case,
the Department also accepts, with immediate effect, for the purposes
of the TTRS, through bills which are not issued at the original port
of loading, provided that they are issued under the authorization
of the carrier or his agent handling the consignment at the original
port of loading and that proof of the authorization must be produced
for inspection upon the request of officers of the Customs and Excise
Department or the Trade Department.
- Please note that Transhipment Notifications can be used only by those
carriers and freight forwarders who are registered under the TTRS for,
among others, the purpose of handling transhipment cargo.
