Arranging transportation to the c.e officers comming for export sealing

Nookala Subrahmanyam (Querist) 01 March 2012 This query is : Resolved
We are manufacturing of paper and paper products under the chapter heading No. 4802. We are exporting our goods form our manufacturing premises ( we have MLU). Our goods are being expoting through containers and some times in individual packages through trucks. In such cases the containers are sealing and certifying by the Central Excise Officers in our factory premises, sealing is done by one time bottle seal,etc.,
Our question is that whether we have to provide the vehicle to the Range officer and the inspector to come and conduct the examination, sealing and certification of the goods. Recently we have been takenover by the MNC. Hence, the management is objecting to provide vehicles to officers. Is there any company in India that they are not providing the Vehicle, conveyance to the officers. Please clarify.
Our manufacturing units are faraway to the range office 5 and 15 kms.

If you can compromise with the frequent and unexpectedly very long dilatory tactics of the authorities aided with lame excuses of non-availability of official vehicles for coming to factory premises, you can straightaway decline provision of transportation to them for their official duties. Otherwise, you may not be bound to provide company vehicle to them.

You are not at all under any obligation, instead they are duty bound to visit your premises at their department's cost and expenses.
