Dear Overseas Partners,

We are entering the 9th day of Lockdown – People curfew in INDIA – called by the Honourable Prime Minister. 

Both the Central and the State Government have been issued various guidelines, restrictions and some relaxations.

Due to the multiplicity of Circulars at various level and for each State it is difficult for us to share a uniform advisory. 

As per the letter issued by the MHA no.DO no.40-3/2020-DM-I(A) Dated 29th March, 2020 that even transportation non -essential goods has also be allowed. 

However, with lock down and curfew, there are certain problems faced by our Members. One of the main issue is of stepping out of house and travel. Many States are strict in enforcing curfew and hence it is difficult for CBs to carry out their day to day work. Whereas, some States are moderate that mobility to a limited extent is permitted.

While it is required to obtain a pass or permit to travel, there is neither set procedure nor clarity on the authority that will issue such pass or permits. This is done by some States online while others follow manual system.

Operations at Port, Airport, CFS, ICDs across various cities has been adversely affected due to minimum workforce available on account of travel restrictions. 

Even though Customs have declared 24 X 7 working but are functioning with very minimum staff/ Officers. Majority of Shipping Lines and NVOCCs have adopted work from home than thereby limiting their normal work.

Unlike most other professions where online processing and work from home concept is possible, our profession requires manual presence of our staff at various stages and locations. This is avoidable exposure and is contrary to the appeal of the Honourable Prime Minister for social distancing.

The management has suggested that the entire process of clearance and handling of cargo – be it Customs or others – should be system driven to avoid human intervention. To achieve this target of paperless processing entirely, will take some time to accomplish.

Another major issue faced is regarding lack of transport trucks. Most of drivers of vehicles operated in different parts of the country, have travelled back to their native to protect themselves and their family.

This is one of the main obstacles for movement of cargo. In certain places even when drivers have returned back to work, due to difficulties in obtaining travel permits across the locations is very difficult hence logistics activities has been affected.  Under these circumstances, We have suggested to : - 

a. Protect yourself & Your staff family and be safe.

b. Seek official pass or permit before venturing out.

c. Ensure all precautions are taken – usage of protective gear, social distancing, avoiding crowded areas.

d. Check prevailing condition in each of your State / Locality.

e. Beware of the restrictions imposed and follow the guidelines.

The management shares / exchanges, updates daily through video conference facility and basis inputs received from various locations and it is understood that :- 

i. At Customs, Port, Airports, CFSs, ICD, Shipping / Air Lines availability of officials / staff available to carry on the routine normal work is very less.

ii. The strength is far below normal attendance and almost skeletal staffing. With this strength it would be impossible to handle regular volume.

iii. Authorities have taken this conscious step to maintain social distancing otherwise It would expose all stakeholders to possible COVID 19 virus.  

iv. Availability of vehicles / drivers is almost nil or insignificant / negligible.

v. CB are unable to discharge their normal duty due Restrictions imposed by the State is curtailing our normal working.

vi. Process of obtaining passes / permits is very difficult.

We are taken stock of the situation across the locations and noted the concerns. We will continue to monitor the situation to update you.

Finally, safety comes first and it is suggested to prior to venturing out, we should take adequate precautions to maintain social distancing and safe working condition. 

Logistically Yours,

V.CHANDRA KUMAR.

IMPORTANT NOTE :- 

·        Free demurrage period at the Airport is reduced to 48 hrs instead of 72 hrs from the touch down time of the Aircraft.

·        Bill of entry for the consignment should be file with the Indian customs within 24 hrs of Vessel/Flight arrival , after that penalty will be applied.

                         Day 1st to 3rd day- &n

Spain is still not reaching the peak of contagions and daily deaths, despite the fact that the authorities consider that we are very close. Statistics inform about +10.000 casualties and +100.000 infected. Confinement and industrial lockdown,  except for essential services / goods, will continue until April 12, although it is expected that it will slowly return to normal, and there is no clear date.

All types of road transport are already authorized, with no difference between basic or commercial goods, thus Newblock S.L. is in a position to meet all requirements, as long as customers are open and operational, for both Seafreight and Airfreight, always depending on the very strong congestion that exists in both services.

Dear associates, due to the strong rain and wind storms in West Mediterranean area, we expect delays at arrivals & departures of all vessels calling Marseille/Fos, Barcelona and Valencia ports until end of this week. Most terminals will be closed or low going.

According to the Saudi Port Authority regulations, the shipping agents must obtain/ keep records of a copy of the freight forwarders’ license copy issued by the Saudi Public Transport Authority (PTA) if the consignee or notifying party on the bill of lading is a freight forwarder. The regulation will come into effect immediately and shall be strictly enforced for all imports, exports and in-transit shipment after 27th Jun 2019. 

If the Shipping Line fails to confirm there is a penalty in the case of breach of this regulation, a fine of (SR50,000) Fifty Thousand Saudi Riyals per shipment (about US$13,500). The merchant shall be fully responsible for all the fines and/ or penalty for non-compliance. In the case of import shipments, the forwarder shall show proof of the license to Saudi Arabia COSCO agent (Alireza) at the time of delivery together with original bills of lading in exchange for delivery order. During the interim period before enforcement, original LOI would be accepted in lieu of the copy of the license. Effective from 28 Jun, LOI is no longer accepted and carrier could only accept cargo from licensed forwarders only. 

Based on this requirement of shipment to Saudi Arabia,

The following information is for your reference.

The USA trucking capacity is currently very tight and we are facing challenges and increasing cost in FCL, LCL, and Intermodal Trucking.  Some Factors at the root of this issue include: * Qualified Truck Driver Availability * Federal Government Mandated ELD(Electronic Logging Devices) * High Economic Demand.  All of these factors combined with several severe winter weather conditions in various parts of USA have combined to create maybe the tightest trucking capacity I have seen in 20 years.  This trend may continue for some time to come so plan ahead and allow extra time for trucking arrangements.
