However, the procedures of the said Public Notices call for a revisit in the context of number of frauds detected involving the misuse of the Factory Stuffing Permissions. The procedure of granting of Factory Stuffing Permission on post-verification basis has also failed to fulfill the objectives sought for. It was also noticed that the verification reports regarding the genuineness of the premises where export goods were sought for stuffing in number of cases were pending for long which necessitated the cancellation of Factory Stuffing Permission granted to such exporters. It is also a fact that many a times the central excise field formations do not have adequate manpower to offer their services to the supervision of export stuffing at the factory premises of the exporters. Thus, being informed about the host of factors discussed above, it has been decided to make the changes in the procedure for grant of factory stuffing permission as outlined below. 2.

Exporters also seek ONE Day permission and request for stuffing of containers at Turbhe Railway Station / Grain Yard at Sewri Station and private warehouses at APMC Market Vashi on MOT basis. Since the goods are bulky in nature (sugar, vegetable oil etc.) they need to be stuffed into the containers directly from the Railway wagons at the Railway yard itself. However, the LoFSP will be granted in these cases on their compliance of the P.N.No 58/2009 dated 28.08.2009 and on verification of IEC from DGFT website. 9. Though the LoFSP granted to manufacturer -exporters and others is one time permission in nature, their track record will be monitored and reviewed periodically i.e after a period of every six months. The LoFSP will be cancelled forthwith in cases where the verification report is adverse, not received within the stipulated period and / or the exporters are facing any proceedings under Customs, Excise, Service Tax or any other allied Acts. 10. All the exporters who seek LoFSP shall submit their request in the prescribed application form (as in Annexure-B) along with the following documents to the FACTORY STUFFING CELL, of this Customs House:- .....
