The Office of the Deputy Collector for Operations shall match the invoice value declared in the Transshipment Permit with the commercial invoice presented and stamp the commercial invoice “RECEIVED and verified” to indicate that the same was duly presented before processing of the Transshipment Permit.
The Office of the Deputy Collector for Operations at the Port of Destination shall not process and clear goods covered by the Transshipment Permits unless the invoice stamped “RECEIVED and VERIFIED” by the DCO at the Port of Discharge has been presented.
Further, applications for Transshipment shall only be allowed if the registered address of the importer is nearer the port of destination than the port of discharge.
For strict compliance.
