Madam/Sir
Sub: Administrative Control over Export Oriented Units by the Central Excise
formations - reg.
Vide Circular No. 31/2003-Customs dated 7.04.03, the administrative control over
EOUs, (including EHTP and STP) in the port cities, falling within the
territorial jurisdiction of Commissioner of Customs, is with the concerned
Commissioners of Customs. At other places, administrative control is with the
jurisdictional Commissioner of Central Excise. The only exception is Bangalore
Customs.
2. In view of implementation of Automation of Central Excise and Service Tax
(ACES) the issue of administrative control over EOUs/EHTP/STP, presently under
Customs formations, was discussed by the Board on 16.4.10.
3. It has been decided by the Board in the meeting held on 16.4.10 that the
jurisdiction over the EOU/EHTP/STP even in the port cities should be with the
Central Excise formations. This will facilitate uniform and better
administration/control of such EOUs, and, also facilitate the shift to GST
regime in future. It has been decided that the shift in the process of
administration, including handing over of all the records etc. of EOUs from
Customs formations to the respective Central Excise formations can be effected
latest by 31st July 2010.
4. The above decision of Board may please be circulated to all the field
formations and Trade for necessary compliance.
Yours faithfully,
(Praveen Mahajan)
Director General
