This regulation supersedes the earlier regulations of Import Manifest (Vessels) Regulations, 1971,

Regulations of 1965. The new regulation stipulates changes in timelines and requirements for advance

Further, CBIC has notified implementation of E-Seal for Export Containers vide Board Circular No.

for exporters using E-Seal is in place, automation of entire procedure would add efficiency to the existing
procedure.

In the proposed procedure, The Exporters intending to avail E-Seal needs to complete one-time
registration at the ICEGATE. The Application submitted would be approved by officers online. E-Seal
affixed should be from a vendor authorized by Indian Customs. The Vendor registered on ICEGATE would
submit Seal details to ICEGATE. The Exporters availing E-Seal is required to report departure of containers
from their premises to ICEGATE using E-Seal Container Departure Message.

1.2 Scope:
The Scope of this document is to provide list of messages involved in this process and provide
format, sample for generation of declaration. The list of messages are as follows:

1. E-Seal Container Departure Message by Exporter

1.3 Stakeholders Involved

Following Stakeholders are involved in the implementation

1. Exporter authorized for E-seal and registered with ICEGATE

2. Custodian notified by Customs under HCCAR
