YOUR QUERIES - OUR SOLUTION
by Dr. Pramod Sant, A distinguished Industry Expert
Question: We have ordered machinery parts after arrival at Airport we observed package is damaged, and few parts are missing. Customs assessment is complete; however, we have not paid customs duty How to handle this situation? what is legal and best practical way in this case Import is using FCA (Shanghai warehouse) incoterm, and we have covered insurance in India
SOLUTION: For above situation there is solution in terms of law and practical way, before taking decision you shouldinvestigatemanyfactors
The first priority is to determine where the parts were lost—whether at the shipper's end, the forwarder's end at origin, during transit by the airline, or at the destination by the airline's handling, the airport, or the custodian. Even if the package is found in damaged condition at the destination, the damage could have occurred at the destination airport
The best approach is to systematically rule out each possibilitystepbystep.
Normalprocedure
Shipper
Thefirststepistocontactyoursupplier(theexporterin China) and obtain confirmation that all parts were shipped as per the invoice and packing list
Additionally, request details on whether a pre-dispatch survey was conducted and confirmation that the shipment was handed over in goodconditiontothenominatedfreightforwarder It is important to verify the net weight on the packing list and ensure it matches the net weight of all the parts and quantity shipped Once confirmed, you can be assured that shipper has correctly packed all quantity as per the packing list. This should also align withthenetweightindicatedontheHAWB.
Above step and confirmation will help you to rule out possibilityofshortshipmentbyShipper
Important to reorder lost qty of items immediately to ensure lower impact on Supply Chain disruption due tothislostitems.
AtOrigin
You need to check with your nominated freight forwarder several facts 1) Freight Forwarder has received shipment in sound condition properly packed from Shipper 2) Net Weight of shipment matches with weight mentioned on HAWB 3) Freight Forwarder has handed over shipment in soundconditiontoAirline/handlingagencyatOrigin.
Above step and confirmation will help you to rule out possibility of damage at origin
AtDestination
Check with freight forwarder about status of shipment when handed over to custodian by airline at destination. Is there is any mention of damage at the
time of segregation of cargo andhandingovertocustodian
You can also make written request to airline to provide thesedetails
This also must be checked with custodian / ground handling agency at destination in writing and demand for landing remarkcertificate.
Based on above steps you will be able to ascertain exactly where damage has happened. Is it damaged by airline or by custodian/ground handling agency
Based on above submit your provisional claim on respective agencies / service provider This will help to getinsuranceclaimfaster
Customs
Approach customs with suitable request for Open examination and joint survey with FF, AIRLINE, Custodian, customs, Insurance company After survey is done, make formal request to customs under Section 22 to reduce value of Bill of Entry When customs give approval customs broker can reassess bill ofentryandpaydutyonreducedvalue.
Insurance
Please file claim on insurance company within prescribed timelines enclosing all above documents , correspondence with Shipper, FF, provisional claim letters, refund amount calculation etc As all documents are in order Insurance company can settle claimfast
Payment toShipper
Nowbillofentrywillhavereducedinvoicevalue,which can be remitted as per normal payment process However, to remit payment for the value of lost items, you will need to approach your bankers , this may take some time and hence inform shipper about this processanddelaytoavoidmisunderstanding.
Practicalapproach
The process can be time-consuming, leading to potential delays. If the custodian does not waive the demurrage, you may also incur additional costs It's crucial to assess the urgency of the imported items—whether they are impacting manufacturing, sales, or projects. Equally important is evaluating the customs duty on the lost items. Taking a holistic view isessentialbeforemakingadecision.
In imports no one has time for lost items and to bring timelyconclusionyouneedspecialfocus.
If the customs duty value on the lost items is not significant, I recommend paying the duty for the entire shipment (including the lost items), clearing the shipment (after ensuring a survey is conducted), and then recovering the total loss from theinsurance company

The IMD further indicated that the lowpressure area is likely to move westnorthwest and intensify into a
depression by October 22 morning and a cyclonic storm by October 23 over the east-central Bay of Bengal
"Low-Pressure Area formed over east-central Bay of Bengal and adjoining North Andaman Sea. Under the influence of yesterday's upper air cyclonic circulation over North Andaman Sea and adjoining eastcentral & southeast Bay of Bengal, a Low-Pressure Area formed over the East-central Bay of Bengal and adjoining North Andaman Sea in the early morning (0530 hours IST) of today, the 21st October 2024," the IMD had posted on X.

India loses to rivals as US diverts trade from China, study says
LONDON: India’s attempts at boosting its manufacturing sector by capitalizing on the US-China trade war have fallen short, according to a new study, with other Asian rivals benefiting to a much greater extent from escalating tensions between the world’s biggest economies.
Between 2017 and 2023, India’s total share in US imports rose by 0.6 percentage points to 2.7% while mainland China’s portion dropped by around 8 percentage points to under 14%, according to Oxford Economics. The biggest beneficiary from the trade diversion in the region has been Vietnam, whose total share in US
imports grew by 1.7 percentage points to 3.7% in the period.
Taiwan and South Korea have also made greater strides than India, increasing their share of US imports by 1 percentage point and 0 7 percentage points, respectively, according to Oxford.
The study underscores the uphill task facing Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he attempts to b o o s t t h e c o u n t r y ’ s l a g g i n g manufacturing sector, whose share of gross domestic product has remained broadly stagnant at 17% for over a decade The research also implies that India may struggle to
make significant gains if Donald Trump returns as US president and follows through with a threat to impose a 60% tariff on Chinese goods.
“The US-China trade war so far h a s i m p r o v e d I n d i a ’ s e x p o r t prospects only to a limited extent, dashing hopes that an escalation of the conflict could boost the lagging manufacturing sector,” Alexandra Hermann, an economist at Oxford Economics wrote in a note. “India’s export strengths largely lie in sectors of the ‘old economy’, where growth potential is limited and competition is fierce.”
India moves to protect MSMEs with anti-dumping duty on Chinese imports
NEW DELHI: The Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) has taken decisive action to protect India’s micro, small, and medium enterprises by recommending a USD 422 per tonne anti-dumping duty on Telescopic Channel Drawer Sliders
imported from China.
In its investigation, the DGTR found that these imports are being sold at prices below average value, constituting dumping and significantly affecting domestic industries by undercuttingtheirprices
While the finance ministry will have the final say, this measure is seen as a strategic move to ensure fair trading practices as per WTO rules, aiming to create an equitable platform for domestic producers confronting cheap imports.
Govt exempts parboiled rice, husked Brown rice from export duty
NEW DELHI: The Government has exempted parboiled rice and husked (brown) rice from export duty. Export duty has been reduced from 10 per cent to 'nil' on parboiled rice, husked (brown) rice and rice in the husk (paddy or rough), said a late
night notification issued by the Finance Ministry
The duty cuts came into effective from October 22.
S o u r c e s s a i d E l e c t i o n Commission's clearance has been obtained on this duty cut, subject to
the condition that no political mileage is derived out of the same.
Jharkhand and Maharashtra are going to polls next month.
Last month, the Government had exempted non-basmati white rice from export duty

Revenue of Indian apparel exporters may grow 9-11% in FY25 : ICRA
NEW DELHI: Indian apparel exporters will witness a revenue growth of 9-11% in FY25, driven by a gradual liquidation of retail inventory in key markets and a shift towards sourcing from India as part of global derisking strategies, as per a report by Icra.
This positive outlook comes after a challenging FY24, during which exports faced significant hurdles due to high retail inventory levels, sluggish demand, supply chain disruptions—partially caused by the Red Sea crisis and intensified competition from neighbouring countries.
The projections are based on Icra’s analysis of a sample set of 15 apparel exporting companies, which collectively represent about
15% of total Indian apparel exports.
Despite the tepid performance last fiscal year, the long-term prospects for Indian apparel exports remain favourable, the credit rating agency said in a report. Enhanced product acceptance in global markets, evolving consumer trends, and Government support through initiatives like the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme and export incentives are expected to contribute to this growth trajectory, the report added.
Furthermore, the proposed free trade agreements (FTAs) with the UK and the EU are anticipated to bolster the sector. In the first half of FY25, apparel exports increased by about 9% year-on-year, amounting to $7.5 billion. This recovery is attributed to
the gradual liquidation of inventory and a higher number of orders booked for the upcoming spring/summer season.
“After a marginal decline of 2% in FY2024, Indian apparel exporters are expected to report a revenue growth of 9-11% in Fy2025,” said S r i k u m a r K r i s h n a m u r t h y, Senior Vice President at ICRA. “This growth will be supported by derisking strategies adopted by v a r i o u s c u s t o m e r s a n d t h e replenishment of retail inventory in key markets, particularly in the US and the EU,” he said.
However, he cautioned that c h a l l e n g e s a r o u n d d e m a n d uncertainty persist due to a subdued macroeconomic environment and geopolitical issues.
IMF retains India’s GDP growth forecast at 7% for FY25, 6.5% for FY26
NEW DELHI: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently kept its growth forecasts for India unchanged at 7 per cent for FY25 and 6.5 per cent for FY26, holding that pent-up demand accumulated during the pandemic has been exhausted as the economy “reconnects” with its potential growth.
“In India, the outlook is for gross domestic product (GDP) growth to moderate from 8.2 per cent in 2023 to 7 per cent in 2024 and 6.5 per cent in 2025, because pent-up demand accumulated during the pandemic has been exhausted as the economy reconnects with its potential,” it said in its latest World Economic Outlook report.
The IMF notes that important sectoral and regional shifts underpin the stable global outlook , with goods prices remaining elevated compared

o r services a lingering effect of the pandemic and its aftermath. Also, a global shift from goods to services consumption i s u n d e r w a y, w i t h emerging markets like India and China gaining i n m a n u f a c t u r i n g production.
“This rebalancing is tending to boost activity in the services sector in advanced and emerging markets but is dampening manufacturing Manufacturing production is also increasingly shifting toward emerging market economies—in particular, China and India—as advanced economies lose competitiveness,” it notes.
For China, the IMF revised downwards its 2024 growth projection
by 20 basis points to 4.8 per cent, while for the United States, it revised upwards by 20 basis points to 2.8 per cent.
“Deeper- or longer-than-expected contraction in China’s property sector, especially if it leads to financial instability, could weaken consumer sentiment and generate negative global spillovers given China’s large footprint in global trade,” it noted.

Adani Group to build truck parking terminal on NH 66, easing congestion in Kozhikode
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM:
A truck parking terminal will be constructed on National Highway 66, whichisbeingdevelopedintoasix-lane road. This terminal will be located between Vadakara Puthuppanam and Palolipalam, equipped with all necessary facilities for truck drivers However, the current challenge is the lack of available space for the project Officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) have indicated that efforts are underway to resolve this issue. Adani Builders, who are currently contracted to expand the road from Azhiyur to Vekkalam, will also take charge of constructing the terminal.
Once the site has been secured, NHAI will prepare and hand over the design to Adani Builders. This project marks the first instance of NHAI constructing a dedicated truck parking terminal in Kerala Truck owners and workers have long expressed the need for parking facilities along the Kozhikode bypass, as this area sees the highest influx of l o n g - d i s t a n c e g o o d s t r u c k s Unfortunately, no space is available on the bypass, prompting the decision to build the terminal near Vadakara. The facility will operate on a pay-andparking basis, although no further details about the project have been released yet.
Daily cargo arrivals highlight urgent need
Every day, cargo lorries from Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Punjab arrive in Valiyangadi at Kozhikode and surrounding areas. Due to the absence of dedicated facilities, many trucks are parked on the roadside, leading to traffic congestion Gas tanker lorries frequently halt at key points on the Kozhikode bypass, particularly at Thondayad and Ramanattukara L
Valiyangadi often stop in the south beach area of Kozhikode, leaving lorry drivers with no proper resting spots or restroom facilities.

development of NH-5 at Rs 12,000 Cr in Odisha
PARADIP: After nearly a decade, the decks have been cleared for the 588 km national waterways-5 (NW-5) that would be developed for Rs 12,000 crore.
One of six primary national waterways in the country, the NW-5 will connect Mahanadi, Brahmani Delta, Matai river and East Coast Canal with the industrial belts of Kalinganagar and Talcher to provide an alternative mode of transportation.
Announced in 2008, the project
was proposed to span three stretches – 237 km from Talcher to Mangalgadi, 95 km from Dhamra to Paradip and 256 km from Dhamra to Geonkhali. However, it was delayed by over a decade due to a lack of patronage from various stakeholders and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Based on the feasibility studies and DPR submitted in 2016, the Inland Waterways Authority of India (IWAI) had planned to develop the 332 km of economically and commercially
viable stretches of NW-5 between Paradip, Dhamra and Talcher in two phases.
