There is no Hand Book of Procedures for the year 2014-15. Hence, the provisions of the current Hand Book are applicable. The procedure to obtain duplicate EP copy of shipping bills ( for Chapter -4 or Chapter -5) is as follows:
(i) A duplicate /certified copy of EP copy of relevant Shipping Bill may be obtained from Customs Authority or Bank in lieu of original. (ii) Self-declaration by exporter about loss of document and an undertaking to surrender it immediately to concerned RA, if found subsequently. (iii) Self-declaration by exporter to effect that he would indemnify Government for financial loss if any on account of loss against the Shipping Bills.
