Dear sir, We had supplied material to NSEZ filing documents like ARE 1 but did not file the Bill of export. We wish to setoff this supply to NSEZ against our EPCG license fulfillment. Though we have recd ARE1 duly stamped from buyer with stamp of concerned Custom officials, DGFT is not accepting the ARE1 and certificate from Bank that payment was recd as proof for fulfilment of obligation but is insisting on Bill of Export. Please advise as the amount of supply is Rs 30 lacs approx.

(a) Acceptance of excise attested proof of exports and ARE-I for EO fulfillment;
(b) Condonation of procedural lapse of not mentioning of EPCG Authorization number and date on shipping bills of the Third party.
The firm have made exports through third party and all the shipping Bills show their name as supporting manufacturer. The firm claims that corresponding ARE-I and excise attested proof of exports showing Shipping Bill Numbers are also available with them. The Committee, therefore, decided to accept excise attested proof of exports/ ARE-I and recommended to DG to condone the procedural lapse of not mentioning the EPCG Authorizations details on shipping bills of the third party if there is other corroborative evidence. The RA may dispose of the request of the firm after verification of the aforesaid documents as per Policy Circular No. 7 dated 11.07.2002. DG has approved the recommendation of the Committee

You cannot file the bill of export now for supplies already made. There is no provision allowing that. Secondly, you cannot get incentives such as duty drawback for supplies made to SEZ without filing a bill of export.
Once the goods have gone through without a bill of export, it is not possible for Customs to follow the disciplines required for assessment of the bill of export at a later stage.
Request advise if there has been any such precedent or judgement in similar matter.
You must look for the citations in this regard yourself or by engaging the services of an advocate privately.
