[1] [Right Informer Comment: 1.Agreement to sale does not transfer title. e.g. Sale Agreement is executed for sale of a land and
then Sale Deed is executed transferring the title to the land to the buyer. 2. Quotations or Price List or Agreements cannot be basis
for valuation because these are not sale documents]

"
Right Informer Comment: Even when one BE filed for an LCL consignment is facilitated by RMS, the whole container could be
stealthily moved out of the CFS since it is declared as FCL. In such cases, the remaining goods in the container would escape
notice by Customs. No system could detect such fraud.

"
Right Informer Comment: If examination precedes registration of the Bill of Entry, the time gap between
registration and examination report would be only a few minutes which would be a strong documentary
evidence to prove that no examination was performed by the examination officer.

[4]Right Informer Comment: If at the time of landing the container there is no Seal or the Seal was found broken, a fresh Seal
could be placed following the stipulated procedure. However, if the Seals were intact on landing and the tampering having been
taken place thereafter, there could be a great possibility that part of cargo might have been illegally removed or part/entire cargo
replaced - eg. recent case at Tuticorin where betel nuts were replaced with cashew. 100% examination may not be the right
solution. The proper course of action would be that a case has to be registered and investigated by the intelligence unit.

"
Right Informer Comment: It would be a better idea to have a list for the day to select in that order of end
digit. e.g. 7, 3, 1 «

[6] Right Informer Comment: Where there are different variety of goods in a container, and where sample items are kept by
shippers at the first row of the container, these should not be selected for examination.
