Manish Jain : I am working in Adani Port and SEZ Ltd and want to have one query that what is the responsibility of Custodian for Delivery Order given by Vessel Agent. If Agent is not given delivery order and Custodian received Bill of Entry cleared from Customs then is Custodian can give delivery to receiver without delivery order or what ?

Admin: Hello Manish Jain, The custodian of cargo can not deliver import goods with only import customs cleared documents. The custodian has to receive Delivery order (Deliver orders) from carrier of goods to whom the AWB/BLL OF LADING is consigned or to order.

prem: I just had a question and requesting you to help me with it please. If you could. I live in New Zealand and my brother was living in Australia from 12 years. He got a job in America and moved there. He had some stuff which he left in Australia and I send it back to India, where my parents are. Goods included, mainly books, 25 of them, some cloths and a mixer grinder. These are all old good, older than 10 years, have no monetary value. But still we declared a value for custom purposes. How do I calculate the duty on stuff which is older than 10 years. Should there be any duty in the first place as these are used goods. I will wait to hear from you, your help is much appreciated.
