GENERAL
Jawaharlal Nehru Port is one of the
11 major ports of India and was commissioned on 26th May, 1989. The
port is situated along the eastern shore of Mumbai Harbour, southeastward of
Elephanta Island. Jawaharlal Nehru Port
is an all weather tidal port and it is the only Indian port built to
international standards, with a high level of automation and computerized
functioning. It has a land area of 2,500
hectares (6000 acres). It was built with
a view to de-congest Mumbai port and to serve as a hub port for this region.
2. The
linear quay length of this port is 1992 meters. Out of this, 680 meters is with
the JNPCT and constitutes 3 berths for its container cargo. Another 600 meters has been given on long
lease to M/s Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal (NSICT) which is a
subsidiary of M/s Dubai Ports World. A third terminal, with a quay length of
712 meters, jointly operated by M/s Maersk and Concor, named Gateway Terminals
India Pvt. Ltd. Became fully operational in January 2007. Apart from these 3
container terminals, JNPT has a liquid cargo terminal operated by IOC &
BPCL (capacity 5 million Tonnes). The
maximum permissible draft for a vessel in this port is 12 meters and each berth
can handle ships up to 70,000 DWT. The port handled about 3.95 million TEUs of
cargo / 57.29 million tones of cargo in the year 2008-09. A fourth terminal is
also being planned and it is expected to be commissioned in two phases with a
total container handling capacity of 4.6 million TEUs. It is expected to be
commissioned by 2013-14, thereby enhancing the capacity of the port to 8
million TEUs.
3. The Jawaharlal Nehru Custom House is
located at Sheva, Tal. Uran, Dist. Raigad, of Maharashtra, close to Jawaharlal
Nehru Port. The Custom House moved to
the building it occupies now on 14th August 2003. This building was constructed at a cost of Rs
20 crores. Prior to 14th
August 2003, JNCH was located in the adjoining Port User’s Building.
4. The Jawaharlal Nehru Custom House is the
biggest Custom House in the country in terms of containers handled, documents
filed and revenue generated. Examination of Import Cargo is not being done
inside the Port Terminals. The emphasis is on speedy movement of containers and
to utilize the port area exclusively for loading and unloading of the
containers. The average turnaround time for vessels calling on the port is less
than one day; the average time taken for the containers to be shifted to the
various container freight stations where the customs examination and clearance
of the containers takes place is 1(one) day. Presently, there are 27 Container
Freight Stations (CFSs) licensed by Customs. They are being managed by various
public sector organizations like Central Warehousing Corporation (CWC),
Maharashtra State Warehousing Corporation (MSWC), Container Corporation of
India (CONCOR), Balmer Lawrie, and some Private organizations. Most of the CFSs handle export and import
cargo. Only some of the CFS’s handle
Import or Export cargo exclusively.
JURISDICTION AND FUNCTIONS
Mumbai Customs Zone-II is the biggest Customs Zone in the country in
terms of revenue collection and contributes about 24% of the National Customs
Revenue and about 4.6% of the total revenue receipt of the Central Govt. of
India. It is also the biggest in terms of import and export cargo handled in
containers (J N Port).
Mumbai Customs Zone-II was carved out of the
erstwhile Mumbai Customs Zone in October 2002.
Originally it comprised of Jawaharlal Nehru Custom House (JNCH), Nhava
Sheva and Sahar Air Cargo Complex (ACC), Mumbai. The zone was reorganized in
July 2007 and Sahar ACC was attached to Mumbai III Zone. Presently Mumbai
Customs Zone II comprises of the three Commissionerates, i.e. Commissioner
(Import), Commissioner (Export) and Commissioner (Appeals) ,all situated in the
Jawaharlal Nehru Customs House.
Assessment and clearance of Import
and Export cargo and enforcement of border controls on Import / Export under
the Customs Act, 1962 and various allied Acts in the jurisdiction of Jawaharlal
Nehru Port (JNPT) is the responsibility of Mumbai Customs Zone-II. It also includes the jurisdiction over the
various Container Freight Stations (CFSs) spread over the adjoining areas of
Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Panvel and Uran taluka of Raigad district of
Maharashtra where the examination and clearance of cargo take place. Customs
EDI connectivity is established in JNCH, Port terminals and the CFSs for
document processing and online clearance of import and export cargo.

DETAILS OF INITIATIVE TAKEN IN THE AREA OF
TAXPAYERS SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT:
Ř
Innovated new procedures in areas
such as:-
ü
Refunds and refund payments :- :- S.O. No. 11 / 2010 dt 16.02.2010
J N C H has introduced a new
facility for payment of S A D refund
amount directly to the importer’s bank
account instead of by way of issuing cheques. In order to avail this facility
the claimant should make a specific request in this matter & provide
necessary authorization in the prescribed format in duplicate.
ü
Finalization and Sanctioning of SAD Refund even if
assessments were provisional
ü
Extension of timings in Docks:- Timings of import and export docks
increased to take care of the requirements of the trade.
ü
Simplification of export promotion
procedures:-Decentralization of
the work pertaining to processing of documents related to factory–stuffed
(including self-sealed) export containers has been given effect by the Public
Notice No. 52/09 dtd.06.08.09.
Adequate officers are being deployed for attending to registration and
granting LEO on 24 /7 basis at the three locations, viz. CWC Distripark, DRT-
CONCOR and CFS- Speedy Buffer Yard for the purpose of registration and granting
LEOs for the factory stuffed (including self-sealed) export containers.
ü New
procedures for factory stuffed containers :-
ü Re-engineering
of administrative set up and re-deployment of staff:
ü De-centralisation of the work pertaining to
processing of documents of factory stuffed cargo
ü Granting of LEO on 24x7 basis: Adequate officers are being deployed for
attending to registration and granting LEO on 24x7 basis at the two locations
Viz: CFS-CWC Distripark and DRT-CONCOR. Officers are being deployed in each
shift, at the designated locations and make these operational in three shifts,
even on Public and National holidays, for the purpose of registration and
granting LEO.
ü Deployment of officers in 2nd
shift for assessment: In order to ensure that the assessment is not a
limiting factor for registration and granting LEO, one AC/DC (Export) is
deployed for 2nd shift, on all working days of the week. In
order to cater to the urgent needs of the trade, the task of export assessment
is being assigned to the AC/DC deployed for holiday duty.
ü Pre-shipment / Pre-LEO amendments: The S/Bills filed in advance (prior to
factory stuffing) based on the Proforma invoice might require amendments due to
variation in the quantity / value after the actual stuffing. Such
amendments, based on the examination report, will be permitted prior to LEO by
the AC/DC (Exports) of the concerned CFS during the normal working hours.
However, the said work will be attended by the AC/DC (Exports) posted in the 2nd
shift after the office hours; and the AC/DC deployed for holiday duty.
ü Provision
to grant LEO in respect of containers at any other CFSs and Expeditious processing of
export documents: The work pertaining to the process of registration and
grant of LEO for the factory stuffed / self sealed containers would be given
priority by the officers. This is to ensure expeditious clearance, so that the
on-wheel containers can move out of the CFS within minimum possible time,
creating space for subsequent incoming export containers on one hand and saving
the avoidable additional expenditure in relation to the trailer holding charges
and higher tariff of CFS.
ü Introduction of document tracking
system:-An e-mail-based enquiry procedure has been launched
with the facility of reply by auto e-mail to ascertain status of all Bs/E or
S/Bs filed by a CHA/Importer/Exporter. A CHA can get status of all Bs/E or S/Bs
based on PAN-based CHA license no. Similarly, an importer or exporter can
obtain status of all Bs/E or S/Bs based on their IE Codes. (Facility Notice No.
41/2009 dtd. 3.07.09.
ü
Introduction of Know Your Client
Procedure: - This
was enforced to prevent export frauds by impersonation and by utilization of
fake identities.
ü
Compliance management programs: Several training sessions were
conducted for the officers and for the trade to improve the awareness of laws
and procedures and to improve the quality of data. An innovative quiz contest
was also conducted for the officers.
ü
Introduction of Special Grievance
Mechanism to
address trade complaints, improve service delivery and to know where we stand
ü
Integration of container scanning
process with EDI to make it on real time basis
ü

CONTAINER SCANNING DIVISION
With the increased threat perception and
various other inputs in respect of national security, the Government of India
has taken a bold initiative by introducing two container scanners at JN port in
the year 2004 as a pilot project. This step has put the nation in the league of
advanced nations who have deployed such scanners to detect concealments,
contrabands and other such goods that impose threat to the national security.
Presently, about 10-12% of the total import containers with high threat
perception are inspected using these non-intrusive scanners.
2. The
Container Scanning Division, JNCH has been equipped with two scanners namely:
(i)
Relocatable
9MeV X-ray Scanner, located at CFS Distripark
(ii)
2.1
Relocatable Scanner: The Relocatable scanner is an X-ray scanner
generating 9 MeV (Million electron Volts) of power for imaging purpose. This
penetration capacity of this scanner is 400mm of steel and has very high
resolution imaging output. With larger penetration and higher resolution, the
Re-locatable scanner is expected to be more useful in scanning denser cargo. It
is located at CFS Distripark.
2.2
GaRDS Mobile Scanner- The first Mobile Scanner called GaRDS [Gamma
Radiological Detection System] using Cobalt 60 Gamma source, with radiological
imaging and system tools for interpreters, was commissioned on 29th April, 2004
and is located inside the Port premises. The GaRDS scanner works on the
principle of Vehicle and Cargo Inspection System (VACIS). It is a vehicle
mounted scanner and uses gamma-emitting Cobalt-60 radioisotope for imaging. It
is extremely well suited for port environment owing to the quick mobility and
faster scanning. The penetration capacity of this scanner is 170mm. of steel.
This scanner is located inside JN Port, Nhava Sheva.
3.
Maintenance of Scanners- Both
these scanners have been purchased from M/s Rapiscan Systems through M/s ECIL
and the Annual Maintenance Contract for both the scanners has been awarded to
M/s ECIL-Rapiscan for round the clock comprehensive maintenance and onsite
support through specialized engineers.
4. Container selection process- From Sept,
2008, a new module for selection of containers for scanning has been
introduced. This module is named as IGM
based Targeting Module and has been developed by RMD through M/s Birlasoft.
The IGM based server of CSD selects the containers for scanning after the
granting of IGM Entry Inward by the boarding office at JN port. The CSD-IGM
server selects the containers from every IGM as per the approved Targets and
Interventions. Some containers are selected from Random corridor also.
Thereafter a list of selected containers is sent to all CFSs, port terminals
and Shippers via automated e-mails by the server and then the respective CFS/
transporter send the selected containers to the scanner locations (Fixed or
Mobile Scanner) before moving them to the destined CFS. The IGM-CSD server has
been programmed to earmark low density goods to mobile scanner and higher
density goods to Fixed Scanner owing to the varying penetration capacity of
these two scanners.
5. Business
Process Integration-
At present, the information/data pertaining to scanning results do not flow
back to the CSD-IGM server real time due to non-availability of reverse
connectivity from scanning locations to the JNCH servers and the scanners are
working on an isolated module. Hence, to integrate the whole scanning process
and link it subsequently with CSD-IGM server and ICES server, the Container
Scanning Division has embarked on the project of Business Process Integration.
This will help the docks examination officers to view the real time feeds from
the scanning system and will enable them to examine the cargo in the light of
the observation made by the scanning officer. The matter has already been taken
up with NIC officials, EDI, RMD, Directorate of Systems M/s ECIL, M/s
ECIL-Rapiscan and M/s Birla soft.
6.
RF Connectivity between JNCH and
both Scanners-The Container Scanning Division has initiated measures to
connect the scanners from scanner locations to JNCH office via reverse
connectivity mode so that the images generated at the scanner locations can be
viewed real-time in JNCH only. The said RF connectivity proposal has already
been approved by the appropriate authority and the EDI section has already
taken up the necessary steps in this direction including testing, commissioning
and tender notices etc.
7.
Cases/Seizures affected by
Container Scanning Division-
on the basis of scanning imagery and subsequent physical examination of
suspected containers there has been a n increase of revenue by way of penalty ,
fine & additional duty over and above regular customs duty. Consequently, the
scanners have been instrumental in affecting cases/seizures to the tune of Rs
21.68 Crs. till date in the current Financial year. A detailed break-up is
provided below ;
