RBI:

As per the existing guidelines, an importer of goods has to submit as evidence of import, (a) the exchange control copy of the Bill of Entry for home consumption; (b) the exchange control copy of the Bill of Entry for warehousing, in the case of 100% Export Oriented Units (EOUs); or (c) Customs Assessment Certificate or Postal Appraisal Form as declared by the importer to the Customs Authorities. With the establishment of Free Trade Warehousing Zones / SEZ Unit warehouses, imported goods can be stored therein, for re-export / re-selling purposes for which Customs Authorities issue Ex-Bond Bill of Entry. AD banks are advised to consider the Bill of Entry issued by Customs Authorities named as Ex-Bond Bill of Entry or by any other similar nomenclature, as evidence for physical import of goods. Further, in cases where goods have been imported through couriers, the Courier Bill of Entry, as declared by the courier companies to the Customs Authorities, may also be considered as evidence of import of goods.
