Only Standard Unit
Quantity Code as per CTA 1975 in Bills of Entry/Shipping Bills, Says CBEC
[We suggest units
used in International Practice and the invoice may also be put in the
documents. Trade will come to a stop otherwise. Buyer may want quantity in
dozens but CTA asks for weight or nos. Thus we will be landed with a custom
made barrier!
In many cases,
the unit may be wrong. Thus printed circuits in 8534 are sold in pieces or
length in metres but the CTA heading asks for weight in kg. The customs
inspector will reject all documents where quantity other than kg. is
indicated. A sure recipe for hike transaction costs in customs clearance!!! –
