Our govt has made SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act more stringent and increased the offences listed in the Act from 22 to 47 : PM Modi #BJP4InclusiveVikasa
To hell with Make in India. @cbic_india
307 kg single shipment of high-value leather goods, manufactured by us for one of the largest financial institutions in the world, was held at Kolkata customs for physical inspection.
They physically opened 5 of the 17 cartons to "inspect".
And this is not a one-time instance. I am certain this continues to happen with many exporters. Chemicals, pharma, textiles, etc. Please, please comment if you've been/going through this tunnel as well.
Ours, after all, are simple leather goods. Can Indian customs assure that none of these goods was retained during this "inspection"?
I bring USD to India. Through back-to-back e-commerce orders and customised high-value shipments. We aspire to compete with Montblanc and Cartier. How do we do that when our consignments are held up for days at Indian customs during exports (even barring this particular 307 kg shipment)?
I am happy to share the SB no. with the relevant authorities.
