MIAL Import Warehouse at Marol Notified for Unclaimed Cargo

The following Public Notice was issued by the Commissioner of Customs (Export), Air Cargo Complex, Mumbai on 9th December 2009.

[Customs Public Notice No. 31 dated 9^th December 2009]

Whereas M/s. Mumbai International Airport Private Limited (MIAPL) who are appointed as Custodians, have approached this office for denotifying a part of the “Import” Warehouse of M/s. MIAPL at Marol Pipeline Road, behind Hotel Grand Maratha, Sahar, Mumbai-400 099, which is presently where uncleared/unclaimed/abandoned international cargo of Air Cargo Complex is shifted by MIAPL prior to its disposal. MIAPL would like to use a part of this warehouse for their local operations.

Whereas the notification declaring the said “Import” Warehouse as a ‘Customs Area’, where international cargo used to be earlier handled, could not be traced in ACC, Sahar, and the New Custom House, Mumbai have, vide letter F.No.S/43-756/09-10 P dated: 24.11.2009, conveyed that such notification is also not readily traceable at their end; and whereas it is also noticed that the Commissioner of Customs, C.S.I. Airport, Mumbai, has issued Public Notice No. 3/2009 dated: 22.5.2009 ( from F.No. Air/Cus/50/CIC/321/2008 Misc.) declaring a space admeasuring 536 sq. mtrs. approx. on the 1st floor of the said “Import” Warehouse to be a Customs Area for the receipt/storage and conduct of auction of detained goods/packages imported through Courier mode and designated it as ‘Interim Courier Detention Facility’.

And whereas in the light of the foregoing it is considered appropriate, in the circumstances, to notify a precise area as Customs Area, rather than denotify a part of an area in absence of the said notification.

Now therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred upon me under Section 8 of the Customs Act, 1962 (52 of 1962), I, Rajiv Talwar, Commissioner of Customs (Export), Air Cargo Complex, Sahar, Mumbai, hereby specify the area admeasuring 1595 sq. metres (of the total covered area of 3687 sq. metres) on ground floor and the area admeasuring 3151 sq. metres (of the total covered area of 3687 sq. metres) on the first floor of the building MIAL Import Warehouse at Marol Pipeline Road, behind Hotel Grand Maratha, Sahar, Mumbai-400 099, as ‘Customs Area’, as marked out in the layout plan attached as Annexures A1 and A2, for receipt/storage/disposal of uncleared/unclaimed/abandoned international cargo of Air Cargo Complex, Sahar, Mumbai.
