据国外物流运输媒体消息，5月24号，也就是3天后，印度的集装港口孟买的贾瓦哈拉尔尼赫鲁港（JNPT）预计将举行罢工。根据报道，JNPT的所有员工都同意5月24开始举行罢工。
As Jawaharlal Nehru Port (JNPT) is India's port, but also the world's 28th largest container port, so the impact of the strike has a larger scope, there are goods to India's foreign trade, freight forwarders, please pay special attention to, when the port operation paralysis, cargo transport may be affected by the strike delayed, and even goods may be auction or abandoned goods!
Recently, the shipping company CMA has issued a notice to warn customers of risks.
由In India is a country of strikes without a word, in the past two or three years, there have been many early warnings or reports of strikes in Indian ports, therefore, regardless of the outcome of the port trade union and management negotiations, whether the strike will be held, friends of Indian customers may wish to take precautions and understand the risks they may face.
India has laws that allow non-payment and non-delivery without legal liability, while on the other hand Indian customs only allows 30 days for stacking. If the importer does not apply for an extension, the goods will be auctioned or abandoned. Therefore, after a large-scale strike at the port, it is possible to lead to the risk of the buyer refusing to receive the goods.
Indians' "non-payment" is technically legal, as the Cantonese saying goes - goods arrive dead. Technically, it works like this: three days before the arrival of the goods, the Indian importer will make a warehouse declaration, which will write the import code of the importer, which is reasonable and legal.
Unreasonable is that once the IEC number (importer code) is written, the subsequent actions will be carried out by the IEC number importer, including return, auction. At this time the right to the goods has been vested in the importer.
The essence of this is the separation of goods rights. Domestic factories generally believe that holding a bill of lading is a right to control the cargo, but the characteristics of Indian trade are that holding a bill of lading is only a right to sea cargo, not a right to LANDING (land).
The IGM (Cargo manifest declaration) before the arrival of the goods, once indicated is (IEC number), the right to the goods will be the default importer, and the bill of lading has nothing to do with. Take the internal regulations of APL (US President Shipping) as an example, before the ship arrives at the port, it must submit the IEC number, which is a decree, and the local cargo rights of Indian goods can not be mastered by Chinese factories.
The solution of the return of the Indian port is as follows: normal channels, through the negotiation with the Indian Customs rather than the freight forwarder. After the goods arrive at the destination, it is allowed to return the goods if the importer does not pay for the goods or the goods need to be returned due to quality problems.
The exporter shall present the certificate of rejection of the goods provided by the original importer, the relevant certificate of delivery and the letter or telegram of the exporter requesting the return of goods to entrust the shipping agent to handle the return of goods after paying the port storage fee, agency fee and other reasonable fees.
If the importer is unwilling to provide the exporter with the documents to prove that the goods are not wanted, the exporter can entrust the shipping agent to directly submit the return request to the customs of the relevant port of India with the letter of the importer refusing to pay or take delivery of the goods or the letter of the importer's non-payment redemption form provided by the bank or the shipping agent, the relevant certificate of delivery and the letter of the seller requesting the goods to be shipped back, and go through the relevant procedures. If the goods are submitted by the importer from the customs, due to quality problems need to be returned, the importer has delivered the import duty can also be refunded, but only 80% to 90% of the original tariff paid.
Please inform friends who plan to export to India to each other, pay close attention to the progress of the strike, and actively maintain communication with the guests.
