Project Final To Send Border

Master of Business Administration
ABSTRACT
The organization study was done in HALCON a unit of ‘Transworld logistics,

Nasik. The basic objectives of the study was to have a general awareness of the
functioning and management of various departments of the organization, and to
understand the organization structure, to make an analysis of the organization
performance, and to develop an understanding on the management practices followed
in various areas. The methods used for the study was observation, explorative research
method. I have done a SWOT Analysis about the company on the basis of my
findings.
The identification done by me as strength is the Company is having a highly efficient
technology department and quality of the products they offer. From the findings I
came across the basic weakness as the over dependence on technology but a wide
opportunity is there before the company as there is a rapid increase in the usage of
silicon and its derivatives. The main and basic threat is from the part of government as
in the form policies regarding the mining process. More details regarding the company
and findings will be discussed throughout the report.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
There exist a striking difference between what is being taught in a class room and what
is being actually practiced in the industry, or more specifically in an organization.
Even when theoretical knowledge is considered to be the basic foundation for any
profession , there should be a provision for practicing the knowledge that have been
4
achieved through the theory in every professional course’s curriculum . A real time
exposure to the industry will help a management trainee to get new insights into the
functioning of an organization and in improving his intellectual horizon. An
organization study will certainly serve the above said purpose and will add the
required practical knowledge into the armory of the future managers.
An organization study implies a comprehensive and systematic approach adopted by a
trainee in order to get him familiar with the working of an organization as a whole. In
an organization study each and every department in an organization is observed and
analyzed in detail. The study gives equal importance to every organ of an organization
and projects their importance towards the organization in achieving its objectives. The
study also gives the management trainee an opportunity to interact with the people
working in the organization and to internalize their good qualities. It is very important
from a trainee’s point of view to know how a problem is being tackled by the people
working in an organization.
An organization study will help in having a better idea about the functions of each
department in detail and the duties and responsibilities of each and every personnel in
a particular department. It will also provide better picture about the organization
structure and the hierarchy of various positions in the organization. The study also
gives a better understanding about the history of the company and its different phases
of development since its inception. It also helps in identifying and studying the various
policies, procedures and programs adopted by the company. The study identifies the
5
industry to which the organization belongs and its importance in the world, country
and state. The study also throws light into the future plans of the company
So after the organization study the trainee will have a very clear picture of the
functioning and the methods adopted in the organization and will help the trainee in
knowing a lot about the basic functioning of the organization. This study will be
helpful not only for the trainee but also for anybody going through this report and will
give a clear picture about the organization.
The study entitled “ ORGANIZATION STUDY’’ in HALCON, NASHIK DIST. is
conducted to ascertain the organizational and departmental details including
Operations, Marketing, Accounts, Finance and Human Resource Department.
The term ‘Logistics’ is defined to encompass activities including multimodal
freight transportation, material handling, warehousing and order processing,
packaging, and data processing. The demand for logistics industry is thus, derived.
The logistics industry plays a pivotal role in the economic growth of any
country. Logistics costs have high impact on operational efficiencies of companies in
the manufacturing sector. The competitiveness of the industry is linked to the
6
efficiency with which goods are transported, stored, and distributed. Logistics also
plays a key role in the country’s ability to improve its position in international trade.
Logistics costs for various nations as a percentage of their Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) varies in the range of 9% to 20%. Several related trends could significantly
affect the rate at which more sophisticated logistics models are implemented.
The additional trends that emerged were the:
• Growth of e-commerce
• Shift to smaller shipping quantities
• Migration to customer-direct delivery, and
• Growth of 3rd and 4th party logistics services viz 3PL & 4PL
DEFINITION OF LOGISTICS SERVICE PROVIDERS
There are different classifications of Logistics Service Providers.
• Third party logistics providers (3PL) are typically addressed in the context of
long term outsourcing of logistics activities by a manufacturer.
7
• Carriers and shippers are labels for providers and buyers of transportation.
• Freight forwarders are referred to as international trade specialists, offering a
variety of services to facilitate the movement of international shipments.
• Shipping lines and shipping companies are conducting activities of transport
and can be further distinguished into e.g. ocean freight shipping liners or ocean
liner shipping .
Logistics service providers are defined as companies, which perform logistics
activities of a customer either completely or only in part. These functions can include
traditional activities such as transporting, warehousing, packaging, etc. but also less
conventional activities as those related to custom clearance, billing as well as tracking
and tracing.

STUDY PLAN
Exploratory method was used for doing this Organizational study. Interviews were
conducted with departmental heads of the company. To get an idea of operations,
serious involvement in the day to day operations was suggested by the CFS Manager.
9
For collecting data various journals and articles about the Company containing details
were used.
1st Week: During the first day of Organizational study I met the CFS Manager and he
gave me the detail idea about the company. During this week I collected information
regarding the departments. By the end of that week I met the Marketing Manager and
executives, collected details regarding the marketing techniques which were being
followed by the organization.
2nd Week: Beginning of the second week I was put in the Operations of the port,
serious involvement in the operations helped me in getting the wide idea regarding the
Organization. Involvement of Customs in the operations was appreciated. Had an
opportunity to study about the different agents involved in each step of the operation in
Export.
3rd Week: During the third week I was taken to the Cargo complex, Warehouse and the
Reefer cargo depot and the Air cargo complex. The Manager gave me a brief idea
regarding the quality requirements need to be followed by any Cargo complex. The
Manager took me for a round through the Air cargo complex showed me regarding the
arrangements used for the shipment through Air. I met the Finance Department got a
brief ideas of how the invoices were prepared.
4th Week: During this time I decided to meet the agents other than the CFS in Export
and Import process, I visited Global Freight Forwarders, studied regarding the
10
different forms of shipping bill which were being used, Govt policies related to Export
and Import process. I also met the Asst. Commissioner of Customs ICD Janori,
Nashik. They explained to me in brief how customs have transformed themselves to be
a professional agent, to actively participate in the operations.
5th Week: This week started with the HR sessions, I got opportunity to meet the HR
peoples from the Transworld Group of Companies. They explained to me the details
regarding the source of recruitment and training procedures implemented by the

CHAPTER 2
External Environmental Analysis
INDUSTRY PROFILE
INTRODUCTION
Wars have been won or lost on the strength of logistics capability or lack of
it. Although quite an old concept, logistics has been becoming efficient only since the
13
globalization wave of the early 1990s and hence, the businesses supported by it,
worldwide, have been pushed for competitive balance-sheets, providing consumers a
better product/service and yet adding value to its investors. Triggering intense
competition, globalization, coupled with liberalization, forced both private and public
firms to commit themselves to making available to their customers the right material of
right condition, at the right time and place at the lowest cost — be it a product or a
service.
Logistics industry is estimated to be Rs.3,50,000 core industry dominated by
unorganized sector. There are various services provided by big and small players but
customers are rewarding to those who are efficient with quality services. Relations do
have entry benefit, but in absence of product support gets spoiled. Considering these
hard facts the players must always ensure the best of their services. In a briskly
changing logistics and distribution space the participants have to be equally fast paced
and adapt just as quickly. The customers are respecting to get the entire gamut of
operations, a complete logistics package catering to every transportation need under
one roof. So the companies must reposition themselves as ‘one window solution’ to
the customers.
Logistics is unique; it never stops! Logistics is happening around the globe;
twenty four hours of every day, seven days a week during fifty two weeks a year. Few
areas of business operations involve the complexity or span the geography typical of
logistics. Logistics is concerned with getting products and services where they are
needed when they are desired.
14
Shipping Industry is one of the most cyclic industries. Being a global industry, it is
affected by a whole gamut of factors which range from world economic condition,
political events, natural disasters to age of existing vessels, new vessel delivery
schedules, availability of ship building slots with ship yards, government regulations
etc.
Besides being characterized by volatile revenue stream, the shipping industry is also
highly capital intensive. A single ship can cost anything between US $20 Mn to US
$300 Mn. Commoditized product coupled with the fact that globally there are a large
number of players in this segment; no single company has significant pricing power.
The total world shipping tonnage, as on 1st January 2007, stood at 1014.55 Mn DWT
[Dry Bulk (35%), Wet Bulk (37%), Containerships (12%), General cargo (10%) and
others (6%)]. The Indian tonnage, as on 1st October 2007, stood at 15.08 Mn DWT
[Dry Bulk (34%), Wet Bulk (58%), Containerships (1%), others (7%)].
In 2007, the shipping industry saw a clear dichotomy between the wet bulk and the dry
bulk freight market. While the dry bulk freight rates moved from strength to strength
during the greater part of the year in 2007, the tanker market saw a downturn in the
freight rates as compared to the rates witnessed in 2006. For containership freight
market, 2007 was a year of consolidation after having witnessed a meltdown in 2006.
The wet bulk market remained suppressed in 2007 due to decreased movement of
15
crude oil. The order book position at the beginning of 2008 was very high. With world
tanker fleet being young not much tonnage deletion is expected in the next 2-3 years.
A probable slowdown in US economy and its consequent impact on world economy
will thus decide the balance between cargo movement and tanker tonnage supply.
Dry bulk cargo constitutes of two main commodities: iron ore and coal. Iron ore trade
is largely driven by the demands of the Chinese steel industry. Chinese iron ore
demand remained strong in CY 2009. As 83% of India’s iron ore exports are to China,
the trade volumes arising out of India will also depend, to some extent, on the
prospects of Chinese steel industry. The demand for coal is expected to remain strong
from the Asian countries. The orderbook position at the beginning of 2008 seemed
very high. A timely delivery of the new buildings will thus decide the actual tonnage
addition and consequently the demand supply balance.
With 2-2.5 times relationship with GDP growth rate, the container trade volumes will
continue to grow exponentially. The cargo growth will occur due to increase in the
volumes of the currently containerized commodities as well as due to containerization
of newer commodities. With order book position at precariously high levels, it remains
to be seen whether the world containerized cargo is able to absorb the new tonnage.
India will be a major contributor to the incremental growth of cargo in all the segments
in the coming years. As per NMDP projections, the total cargo traffic at the Indian
ports is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.58% up to FY12 with the POL, coal and
container traffic growth remaining strong. Though the cargo emanating from India is
16
expected to remain healthy, the Indian shipping industry can take advantage of this
opportunity only if the Indian government plays a facilitative role. At present the most
pressing problem faced by the industry is that of manning. Under Merchant Shipping
Act, ships with Indian flags need to necessarily be manned by Indian crew. As there is
a shortage of officers (due to flight of officers to foreign flags), the Indian shipping
companies find it difficult to meet this requirement. Besides this the Industry is also
saddled with other challenges like onerous tax structures (12 taxes), multiplicity of
regulations, falling cargo support from TRANCHART, infrastructure constraints etc.

AIR CARGO
INTRODUCTION
Ever since the brothers Orville and Wright designed and flew the world’s
first aircraft in 1903, the history of aviation has been one of extra ordinary technical
developments. As trade and commerce developed, the distance between east, west,
north, and south continents were reduced by the advancement in the aviation sector.
Today the most of the countries have a mutual network chain for the efficient
operation of respective. Airlines the world are competing with each other by providing
sophisticated facilities to its fleers and services to its goods.
With the introduction of wide- bodied air craft’s, freighter services, and
containerization, a new dimension has been added to air transport. The industry now
thinks of distribution in terms of speed, frequency and efficiency. Apart from
providing a high level of customer service, air cargo finds its legitimate place in the
marketing phenomenon, particularly in saving distribution cost. The maximization of
distribution costs is intimately linked with quicker deliveries, which in turn results in
economies in the ever- increasing cost of financing and stock- holding.
AIR CARGO SET TO GROW RAPIDLY ON THE WINGS OF FREIGTER

PLANES
Due to a boom in the production of retail, textile and pharmaceutical goods air
cargo is a fast growing sector in India. Air cargo traffic is expected to register 8 to
10% annual gains over the next 5 to 10 years. According to industry insiders, over 2
billion shipments were handled in 2008.The growth rate for express air cargo is
between 20 and 25% per annum. Of the total tonnage handled by airports, 64%is air
express cargo. Moreover the top five airports handling 85%of the air cargo traffic of
the country.
Already international freighter majors as Lufthansa cargo, Emirates sky Cargo,

Cathay Pacific and SriLankan Cargo are expanding their Indian capacities. Indian
domestic carriers like Kingfisher Airlines, GoAir, Jet Airways and Air Deccan also
planned to launch dedicated cargo operations while Blue Dart Aviation and First Flight
18
Couriers already offer cargo space on domestic flights between Mumbai, Delhi and
Chennai.
According to civil aviation minister Praful Patel, there is an overall 49% FDI
cap in the sector, but the mulling to progressively open up the sector. We have to
liberalize areas like air cargo, sea planes and helicopters and allow 74% FDI in these
areas. Due to the leap fogging of the Indian economy, the country will need 125
freighter aircrafts in next 20 years. At present, India has only 7 bigger freighters,
owned by blue dart express.
Hence liberalizing the freighters and freeing them of traffic right restrictions is
a major issue of consideration for fast growing economies like India. Considering the
growth of cargo within the bilateral regime, there has been increasing need for special
treatment for freighters.
Freighters are projected to account for 60% of the air cargo and major cargo
airlines are ramping up their freighter capacity. And although one could count the
number of dedicated cargo aircraft on finger tips, but the country needs (or would soon
require) 500 dedicated cargo aircraft. The estimated cost for converting two air-planes
into cargo carriers is little over $20 million.
According to European aircraft manufacturer Airbus, “India will require at

least 125 dedicated cargo planes to supplement the economic growth. It will also
require nearly 90 dedicated freighters to cater to international air cargo traffic
requirements.” India will require more direct freighter flights following the growth in
retail sector coupled with boom in exports.
The forecast of 125 freighters is in addition to passenger planes, which

have huge belly space to carry cargo. According to the civil aviation minister, “Indian
airlines and Air India will convert their older aircraft into cargo aircraft and use
Nagpur as the base.” The choice of Nagpur stems from the fact that it could effectively
act as the country’s cargo hub for the South East, Middle East and even Europe, due to
19
its strategic location in central India besides of course also possessing the advantage of
lying on natural east-west air corridor. According to sources in Indian, “rather than
acquire new planes, Indian will opt for converting its passenger air-planes to
freighters.

Air cargo offers the following advantages in market exploitations.
• Air transport crates new markets or brings new market within reach. For
instance, air cargo has made it possible to tap the market for perishable in Gulf
countries.
• Air cargo extends markets. In the past, the expenses of setting up depots and
service centers overseas acted as deterrent against markets extension. With a
speedy service, direct from the factory or warehouse, air cargo has changed this
picture.
• Air transport spreads seasonal demands. As many products have a seasonal

demand, the manufacturers are often faced with the problem of over-
investments; and they cannot take full advantages of the peak demand. With
the introduction of air cargo, the whole world can be regarded as the home
market and the peak demand spread over a longer period.
• Air transport extends the use of a mobile facility. There are instance when it is
more economical to move a production facility form one distribution area to
another than it is to move bulky from a central production centre. Thus, a
pattern can be moved from one area or even one county to another to mere a
sudden local demand.
• Air cargo takes the risk out of new markets. Full-scale test marketing can be
made directly from the manufacture’s warehouse without lying in any stocks at
all in the receiving countries.
• Air cargo offers the advantage of flexibility, security and regularity in

comparison with sea transport.
• Air cargo assists in realizing the early earning potential of capital products. The
advantages of bringing a machine into production earlier can mean substantial
profits, which can be shared by the customer and supplier.
22
AIR CARGO - QUIET ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE
Studies by ACI over the past several years have quantified the number of
employees at airport sites owing their jobs to air cargo operations. Taking the overall
figure of 4.5 million employees working at airports worldwide, ACI surveys
determined that about 15 percent of these jobs were directly related to air cargo
operations, giving a total of nearly 700,000 jobs in the cargo sector.
Only a few countries (India the most prominent) have embraced the logic
that all-cargo services should be treated separately from passenger traffic and have
moved to create liberalized regimes for cargo, including in some cases unilateral rights
for seventh freedom traffic. And in China, the decision to create the Shanghai free port
gave spectacular results.
The air cargo industry is already enabling the rapid integration of the world
economy, bringing efficiencies to complex production processes by moving
intermediate goods to regions which add the highest value at the lowest cost.
Air cargo also carries high value finished goods quickly from manufacturer
to consumer, cutting inventory costs and driving high levels of customer satisfaction.
The future of the industry depends to a large extent on governments recognizing that
market forces should continue to drive innovation. Excessive regulation is
counterproductive. It brings a high cost, by creating inefficiencies in the global supply
chain and thereby reducing the positive economic impact of air cargo on the economy.
THE IMPACT OF AIR CARGO ON THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
The global air cargo industry represents almost 100 billion revenue ton-
miles of transportation, an estimated $254 million in direct revenue in 2009 and
substantially more revenues in related trucking and logistics services. The air cargo
industry is responsible for transporting approximately 29.9 percent of all international
trade (by some estimates, substantially more) and 34.6 percent of non-land-based trade
23
with an annual value of $2.7 trillion in 2004. With time-definite international

transactions, production flexibility and speed characterizing much of the new
economy, it is nearly certain that air cargo will play an increasingly vital role in the
global economy.
No other means of transportation is better equipped to meet the economic
realities of the new era where global sourcing and selling, and just-in-time logistics,
require that producers receive and ship smaller quantities more frequently, quickly and
reliably over long distances. Scheduled air cargo service providing an estimated
4,396,353 tons of weekly air cargo capacity is available at over 3,400 airports in 220
countries. Charter and integrated express companies provide additional capacity.
.
THE EVOLVING ORGANIZATIONAL FORM OF THE AIR TRANSPORT
INDUSTRY
The air transport industry is already quite large. Korean Air, Lufthansa,
Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and China Airlines are the largest combination
passenger-cargo carriers, measured by tons of capacity. American Airlines and United
Airlines provide substantial cargo service without the use of dedicated freighters.
Several, particularly European, airlines such as, Lufthansa, Air France, and KLM,
have particularly broad geographic coverage, offering service to more than 50
countries each. British Air offers cargo service to over 100. Atlas Air, Cargo Lux,
Polar Air Cargo, Nippon Cargo Airlines, and ABX are among the major dedicated
cargo airlines.
Air cargo offers clients the benefits of secure handling, speed and geographic
and temporal flexibility but, with per kilogram costs that average six times those of
ocean container freight, is relatively expensive. That high cost is compensated by
reduced inventory and warehousing costs but, unfortunately, air cargo often fails to
fully deliver on its promise. As a result, air cargo service has become increasingly
more integrated and ground- linked, characterized by door-to-door service from
shipper to customer, as opposed to airport to airport.
24
TYPES OF GOODS SHIPPED AND THE INDUSTRIES DEPENDENT ON AIR

CARGO
Air transport is critical to the movement of goods in national and global

supply and distribution chains. From the beginning, air transport specialized in high
value-to-weight products, perishable goods, emergency deliveries for unanticipated
shortages, and products requiring the security of increased attention. High value-to-
weight ratios imply a relatively light transportation cost burden and high inventory
costs if goods are long in transit. Highly perishable goods incur a significant decrease
in product value with any delay.
The air cargo industry has thrived on the rise of industries incorporating
high levels of knowledge into lightweight goods but the industry has been able to
move down the value-to-weight ladder. New economy products such as
microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, aerospace components, medical devices, and other
high value-to-weight products account for close to three-fourths of international air
cargo by value. Nevertheless, the use of air cargo is quite broad.
The electronics industry, broadly considered, is heavily air-

dependent, accounting for approximately 40 percent of the value of international air
cargo by itself. This industry combines high value-to-weight with specialized
products, leading to far-flung distribution channels, and complex, labor-intensive
production processes, creating international supply chains designed to tap pools of
appropriate labor. Since the electronic goods shipped by air are incorporated into
apparatus used in many sectors of the economy, almost the entire economy has
become air-dependent. But it the entire economy depends upon air freight, air freight
depends heavily upon the air electronics industry.
Very little petroleum or petroleum products are shipped by air. Few motor
vehicles are shipped by air. These two general (two-digit SITC code) product groups
are the second and third largest in global trade and they continue to be important to
economic policy. Almost none of the trade in iron and steel is by air and these
continue to be important components of international trade.

performance and other aspects of worker behavior, such as absenteeism, accident
proneness and most importantly, productivity. It emphasizes to introduce in-plant
family welfare programs in the interest of the employees and the organization’s
prosperity.

society has certain commitment for them and it is necessary that the organization
give prominence for various communities’ development and family welfare
programs.

DOCUMENTATION
Documentation plays a vital role in any international business. Documentation
always protects the personal interest of any businessman and also tries to uphold
the rules and regulation of the trading nations. Documentation protects the revenue
payment and receipt and also maintains a proper equilibrium not only between the
person and nations but also between the final customers of product and the
exporter of the product. Whenever a person fails to prepare proper documents for
his trade or business, it may lead to various problems like non clearance of goods
by customs authorities, nonpayment for the goods, and slow delivery of goods,
even dumping of old goods may take place when documents are not proper.
Export documents – Need and Importance
The shipment of goods are to be made by drawing of Bill of Exchange which have
to be accompanied by what as known as “full set of shipping documents”
attachment. The evidence of goods dispatched is the evidence of insurance cove of
having actual shipment made and also the mandate of the seller made out on the
buyer to pay a certain specified amount or sum to the bank or the individual
Shipping documents handled by the banks vary because of terms of trade.
Contracts made by the buyers and sellers are not always the same. All these specify
the need and importance of documents in exporting.

EXPORTS DOCUMENTS
Export documents need to be prepared for various purposes,
1. Job Application.
This is issued by the CHA, requesting for the consignment to be carried out
through HALCON. This application contains the details regarding the
Exporters, Cargo and shipping line. D.O need to be produced at this stage.
2. Job Order.
This is issued by the CFS to the transporter for taking up the consignment,
D.O is provided to the transporter for taking the empty container from
container yard and this document also gives a unique Job order number
which is assigned by HALCON.
3. Packing List
The exporter is required to pack the goods according to the instructions of
the importer. A list of content of each case or pack is called as a packing
note. A separate packing note is prepared for each container. A packing list
shows the content of the entire consignment. The customs authorities and
the insurance company require a packing list. It is also required by the
importer.
4. Certificate of origin

Many foreign countries give concession in duties of goods being exported
from a particular country. For this purpose they need a proof that the goods
were manufactured or produced in that particular country. A certificate of
origin is also required to check that the goods from prohibited countries are
not being imported. It is issued by the chamber of commerce, Export
Promotion Council and other institutions which are authorized by the
government,
Contents of certificate of origin
(a) Description, quantity (or weight) and the value of goods
(b) Number of package and marking on each package
(c) Declaration by the shipper (exporter)
(d) Certificate of issuing authority
5. GSP certificate of origin:
Generalized system of preference is a preferential tariff system extended by
the developed countries (also known as preference giving countries or
donor countries) to developing countries (also known as preference
receiving countries or beneficiary countries) it involved reduced MFN
tariffs or duty free entry of eligible products exported by beneficiary
countries to the markets of donor countries.

1. Indian exporter benefits indirectly the benefits that accurse to the importer
by way of reduced tariff or duty free entry of eligible Indian products.
2. Reduction or removal of import duty on an Indian product makes it more
compressive to the importer.
3. This tariff performance helps new exporters to denigrate a market and
established exporter to increase the market share and so importer upon the
profit margins in the donor country.
6. Form SDF (Self – Declaration Form):
It is the declaration by the seller that the particular company itself
manufactures the product and the company is not in the black list of RBI.
Documents related to transport
The export can be transport the goods by sea or combination of road/rail.
1. Shipping order

shipping company confirms the same by issuing a shipping order. A shipping order
gives details about the route, the approximate dates on which the ship will reach
various port and freight charges and the other terms and conditions.

2. Bill of lading:
A bill of lading is a document issued and signed by a shipping company or its
agent acknowledging that the goods mentioned in the bill of lading have been duly
received for shipment or shipped on board a vessel and undertaking to deliver the
goods in the like order and condition as received to the consignee, provided that

copies.

4. Shipping bill:
A shipping bill is required by the customs. It is only after the shipping bill is
stamped by the customs the cargo is allowed to cater to the docks. The aligned
shipping bill has been prepared after taking into consideration. The requirements of
the customs publish in notice no. 39 which suggests a uniform shipping bill for
different categories of exports, such as duty free goods, dutiable exports and goods
under claim for drawback.
Declaration which as not been involved in shipping bill can be taken as implied. To
facilitate identification and processing of different categories of shipping bills it
will be desirable to introduce a uniform colour scheme at all ports.
5. Letter of credit:
A letter of credit is a written undertaking issued by the buyers bank agreeing to pay
a certain sum of money within a stipulated period against set of documents. The
buyer instructs to the bank called, the issuing bank, to open a letter of credit in
favor of the exporter. The issuing bank will instruct a correspondent bank in the
exporter’s country to make the payment or to pay, accept or negotiate the bill of
exchange provided the stipulated documents have been received by that bank and
the terms and conditions stipulated in the credit have been complied. They are used
to irrevocable letter of credit. This letter of credit cannot be cancelled or modified
by the issuing bank without the prior consent of the exporter.

6. Bill of exchange:
A bill of exchange is a negotiable instrument. It is an unconditional order in
writing, addressed by one person to another signed by the person giving it, required
the person to whom it is addressed to pay on demand or on a fixed determinable
future, a sum of certain money to specified person or to bearer. A bill of exchange
may be either a sight bill or a time bill. A sight bill is required to be paid

papers are handed over. A letter of credit mainly says that the importers
bank guarantees to pay provided the entire documents specified in it are in
order
2. Purchase Order
It appears like a trade requirement but it may be desirable for financing.
The buyer may need to prove the order to his bank to organize a provisional
loan or customs may desire to see the paper work is legitimate.
3. Certificate of Origin
Various countries have limitation on the introduction of commodities from
certain other countries, and may apply duty to these commodities or ban
them altogether. On the other hand, there may be tax benefits on items from
specific supply sources. In such cases, an exporter will require to present a
certificate of origin, which is certified by a designated regulatory authority.

4. Bill of lading.
A required shipment document for sea consignments when commodities are
sent by sea route, as proof that the commodities have been sent by the
supplier.
5. Airway Bill.
Same as bill of lading expect that this a document involved in Air

documents to making sure the deal is established in accordance to the
buyer’s requirements.
7. Packing List.
The list of all of the cardboard boxes within the container and the contents
within the boxes.
8. Invoice.
The most essential document. Make sure that a complete synopsis of
merchandise is outlined and it is invoiced in the currency of sale.

food items. You would need to secure a permit, or subject your items to an
inspection or both.

CUSTOMS BONDED WAREHOUSES
An important provision of customs Act, 1962 is that relating to warehousing of
imported goods. The object of warehousing is to allow the facility of deferred
payment of customs duty on the dutiable imported goods till such time they are
cleared into the domestic area or are exported. It also provides custom control over
the movement of dutiable imported goods and accounting thereof with a view to
safeguard revenue. Chapter IX of the Customs Act, 1962 comprising Sections 57
to 73 details the warehousing provisions relating to the dutiable imported goods.
Sections 2(43), (44) and (45) of the Customs Act, 1962 are also relevant.
The warehouses are commonly referred to as ‘customs bonded’ warehouses. These
may be of two types, public or private. Whereas the former are appointed, the latter
are licensed under the authority of Sections 57 and 58 of the Customs Act, 1962,
respectively. Public warehouses are usually set up by public bodies such as public
sector enterprises, though private operators are also allowed to establish public
warehouses, as clarified vide Circular no.68/95 Cus dated 15.6.95. These

warehouse provide common user facility and goods imported by anybody may be
stored therein.
In contrast, the private warehouses are licensed to private persons and only the
goods imported by or on behalf of the licensee are stored in a private warehouse.
However, other imported goods in respect of which the facility for deposit in a
public warehouse are not available may also be deposited in a private warehouse.
A bonded warehouse is any is any warehouse or other place licensed by the
Commissioner of customs for the deposit o dutiable goods on which duty has not
been paid and which has been entered to be warehoused.
The following goods shall not be warehoused:
1. Acids for trade and business
2. Ammunition for trade and business
3. Arms for trade and business
4. Chalk
5. Explosives
6. Fireworks
7. Dried fish
8. Perishable goods
9. Inflammable goods expect petroleum products which are stored in
approved places
10. Matches other than safety matches

11. Any other goods, which Commissioner may consider to be unsuitable for
warehousing.
The word “Custom Bonded Warehouse” and number allocated to a customs
bonded warehouse shall be clearly marked on the principle entrance to the customs
bonded warehouse or in any other place the proper officer may approve and shall
be removed when the customs bonded warehouse ceases to be licensed as such
In case of a Duty free shop the word “Duty Free Shop” and the number allocated to
a free shop shall be clearly marked on the principal entrance to the duty free shop
or in any other place the proper officer may approve and shall be removed when
the duty free shop or in any place the proper officer may approve and shall be
removed when the duty free shop ceases licensed as such. A person who
contravenes the provisions of this regulation commits an offence and is liable to be
fined.
In the event that a notice is given by a proper officer to an owner of any goods
warehoused in a bonded warehouse that it is proposed to close the warehouse, the
owner shall, within the period specified in the notice, enters the goods for home
consumption, exportation, or for removal to another bonded warehouse.

The goods that have not been removed from a warehouse within three months from
the date they were warehoused may with the written permission of the
Commissioner be re-warehoused for a further period of three months
The commissioner in addition to the period of re-warehousing permitted in this
section allow for further period of re-warehousing as he or she may deem
appropriate for the following cases:-
1. Wines and spirits in bulk warehoused by licensed manufacturer of wines or
spirits,
2. Goods in a duty free shop,
3. New motor vehicles warehoused by approved motor assemblers and
dealers.
If such goods are not re-warehoused as above, they shall be sold by public auction
after one month’s notice of such sale has been given by the proper officer by
publication in such manner as the Commissioner may deem fit.
If such goods are of perishable nature they may be sold by the proper officer
without notice, either by publication or private treaty, at any time after expiry of
the initial warehousing period.
This is customs procedure applied to determine the customs value of imported
goods, if the rate of duty is ad-valorem. The customs value is to determine the duty
to be paid on the imported goods. It constitutes the taxable basis for customs
duties. It is also an essential element for trade statistics, for monitoring quantitative
restrictions and tariff.

TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT
Technical department considers the quality aspects of production. There is a
quality management system under this department. Various quality policies are
framed and maintained by this department.
QUALITY ASPECTS
HALCON’s entire operation is guided by a well-documented quality system and
quality plan. Periodic review and audit mechanism ensure to compensate with the
quality plan. Quality of the production starts right from the raw material. Material
testing, in-process checks and finished product inspection coupled with

sophisticated testing facilities ensure that the product will meet stringent quality
standards.
At HALCON, Quality is not just another parameter, but a way of life. Be it
production, service or human relations, quality is the underlying factor in every
activity. Clarion solutions limited is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company. There is
a well – equipped lab for testing the standard quality of the product. The quality
control lab checks all raw materials before issuing for production. Ladle samples
are taken in every pour for checking the chemical composition of the product for
every 25 tones of pour weight. Physical properties such as exudation blister
potential and finger corrosion are also testing
QUALITY OBJECTIVES
Quality objectives are framed based on Quality Policy and the Business plan.
Organization Quality objectives are,
1. Production quality improvement,
2. Customer requirement response time or customer support activities,
3. Enhancing the competency of employees
Objectives are deployed at various levels and functions through Policy Department
and are periodically reviewed for effective implementation of QMS.

HOD (s) maintains policy deployment and its monitoring records
QUALITY POLICY:-
In pursuit of excellence SEPR shall fulfill customer requirement by providing
quality products and services through an effective QMS.
SEPR commit to,
a) Continually improve the process to achieve better product quality.
b) Periodically review the QMS
c) Develop competency of employee.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS):-
The quality system consists of quality manual, procedures, process modules, work
instruction and formats. Quality system of HALCON is documented and
implemented to achieve requirements of Quality policy, as per ISO
9001:2000version, process module, specification of products and services.
QC-QUALITY CIRCLES:-
One organizational mechanism for worker participation in quality is the Quality
Circle (QC). A QC is a group of workforce level people, usually from within one

department, who volunteer to meet at regular, internally to address quality
problems that occur within their department. QC members select the problems and
are given training in problem solving techniques.
QC pursuits 2 types of problems, those concerned with the personal well-being of
the worker and those concerned with the well-being of the company.
QC – EFFECT ON INDIVIDUALS’ CHARACTERISTICS:-
QC enables the individual to improve personal capabilities; increase individual’s
self-respect and help workers to change certain personality characteristics.
QC – EFFECT ON INDIVIDUALS’ RELATION WITH OTHERS:-
a) It increases the respect of supervisor for works
b) It helps the workers’ to understand the difficulties faced by supervisions
c) It increases the management’s respect for workers.
QC – EFFECT ON INDIVIDUALS’ AND THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS
COMPANY:-

a) It changes negative attitude of workers
b) It reduces conflicts
c) It insists a better understanding of the importance of product quality
Perhaps the most important benefit of QC is their effect on people’s attitude and
behaviour. QC makes the workers to feel that the management values their ideas
and suggestions. The recognition of their ability to think and to contribute is a great
motivating force, which in-turn will be helpful in creating right culture for
improvement initiatives. Thus, Quality Circles have great value as a motivating
tool in Total Quality Management (TQM).
MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY & MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT
The management is committed to meet customer requirements – statutory and
regulatory requirements. This need is communicated throughout the organization
by way of communication –meeting, notice boarded, etc.Top management sets
objectives and measures through policy deployment and is reviewed periodically.
Management review meeting are conducted at planned intervals to review the

effectiveness of QMS. Each year, plant management prepares annual budget,
which provide details of the resources needed. Top management review and
approve annual budget. During the year, if any other resource requirement is
identified for the effective functioning of QMS, top management review and
approve it.
TRANSPORT DEPARTMENT
The transportation is outsourced to the Universal Logistics Limited. HALCON
CEO suggests that transportation is a very crucial operation which needs to be
operated by specialists; hence they suggested outsourcing that to Universal
Logistics limited.

EXPORT SEA FREIGHT
The container can be of two types can be 20 feet and 40 feet in case of FCL and the
other category is the LCL.
In export the delivery order is handed over from the CFS to the transporter, the
transporter goes to the container yard and picks up the container of concerned
shipping line. The container is bought either in 20 feet trailor or 40 feet trailor.
The container is taken to factory incase of Factory stuffing and to ICD incase of
CFS stuffing. After stuffing process is over the container is sealed by the customs.
When sealed the transporter hands over ELR copy to CFS. Transporter becomes
legally liable as per law.

to Customs at JNPT that the consignment is undertaken through ICD. The customs
permits the transporter to take the container from the customs bonded area in port.
The transporter brings the container to the ICD, CHA has to collect the Bill of

lading, SMTP and IGM. The transporter should ensure that the container is in good
condition. The customs clearance has to be taken place and the seal is broken in
front of Custom Commissioner ICD.

Nashik being an agricultural belt and potential exporters of Onion, Pomegranate
and Grapes as well as Industries in Nashik are the future opportunity of HALCON.
The all around supply of Onion’s to the export market is other opportunity for
HALCON.
Threat
The unawareness among exporters in using ICD is the major threat HALCON
faces now.
The lacks of professionalism among the agents like CHA’s are affecting the
business.

CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION
The study was conducted as a part of my management education program. I did my
project in HALCON. The duration of the study was one month. The objective of
the study is to familiarize with an organizational environment and to get an idea
about the functions of the different departments. SWOT analysis was also carried
out. This study helped me to understand the working of different departments in
the company and see the difference between theory and practice.
HALCON services to the export/import activities are beyond the responsibilities of
a CFS. HAL’s and CONCOR’s decades of experience in the field of transportation
of cargo and constant interaction with customers has enriched HALCON’s
knowledge base. This is translated into valuable suggestions to many of the
customers for improving their export/import activities and getting the most value
for money.
Transworld Group of Companies is a pioneer in the field of operating ports as for
as Quality management. It has succeeded in utilising the port city to the maximum
through optimum utilisation of human resources and indigenously developed cost
effective operating process. It follows the functioning of LAN, which saves lots of
valuable human efforts and time. HALCON ensures environment protection.

The company provides best services to the agents involved in the business like
CHA, Customs and Transporters. Also provides best service to the clients ranging
from single agricultural exporters to industrial giants Mahindra and Mahindra.
A fair wage system prevails in HALCON. There is a better working condition and
industrial harmony among employees. Proper training to workers and efficiency of
the workers is another reason for the exponential growth of HALCON.
HALCON’s business initiatives are focussed on the infusion of technological and

intellectual capital, modernisation and up-gradation of equipments through
systematic capital investment, intuition of cost reduction and quality input
strategies across the company.
Constant touch with its current international technology and regular up gradation
of operational method and have made HALCON a truly international company
both in terms of its products and outlook.
HALOCN’s success lies in its simple principle of commitment to give the best to
the customers.
