STRIKE ACTION in India
There will be a massive termless STRIKE ACTION all around India since 19th April. The main ports of 70% total volume of Indian containerized trade will be affected.
Since then, cargo may cannot be discharged or delivered because of lying in the ports. Exporters will have to pay more extra expenses then.
Besides, the importers don’t have to bear legal liability if they haven’t paid the expenses or taken delivery of the goods according to the Indian law.
So the foreign trading companies should pay more attention to avoid some Indian clients refusing to pay the expenses or even jettison on purpose. What’s the worst result? Cargo will be auctioned because of being lying in the ports for a long time and the exporters willlose both money and the cargo.
The returning formalities is very complicated in India and the auction rules are not in favour of exporters, either.
According to the rules of returning formalities in India, only exporters bring a great deal of shipping documents, pay storage charges and commission fees can finish the returning formalities.
According to Indian Customs
Cargo can be stored in the warehouse of the customs up to 30 days after arrival in ports.
Customs will send the Cargo Delivery Notice to the importers after 30days. If the importers can’t deliver the cargo on time, they will need to apply for extension to the Indian customs based on their own needs.
If the importers cannot deliver the goods on time after extension, the Indian customs will send the Cargo Delivery Notice again (last time).
If the importers doesn’t deliver cargo at the given time after receiving the second notice sent by the customs nor explain anything and apply for extension again, the Indian customs will auction the cargo.
Trading companies should pay more attention to avoid to the unnecessary loss when you doing business with the Indian clients during the massive STRIKE ACTION period.
