All documents need to be mentioned as ‘on high sea sale bases’. Bill of Lading, Invoice, packing list etc. should be reflected ‘ On high sea sale basis’. The value of invoice can be either existing invoice value or new high sea sale value depends up on the understanding between high sea sale buyer and seller. If the seller need not want to disclose the existing selling rate of original sales, he can issue a new invoice mentioning the high sea sale value.

Bill of lading endorsement and other required procedures on bill of lading has to be completed with carrier before arrival of goods. Title of goods is transferred to high sea sale buyer, once Bill of lading endorsement procedures completes.

Kapil Sood: Dear Sir We are importers and selling to single customer under HSS. 1. Does the HSS Agreement and INR invoice to be raised on the same date or it can be different. 2. I understand that the HSS agreement need to be made before the shipment enters India border, do we have to make the INR invoice also at same time or we can make the same after the shipment reaches the india border. 3. Can we make two or more invoices to same customer for single HSS sale under single USD invoice and BL? Thanks Kapil Sood 9810190011

Considering today's US$ rate it will be about Rs.68=1 US$ my purchase cost will be Rs.6800/-. I will be selling this product at Rs. 8000/- on high seas sale basis. The BOE will be on government organization. They will be getting this material cleared under customs duty exemption certificate (concessional duty of 5%) & will pay duty directly.

Vanit Gupta : I am importing some goods at Kolkata port. I am based in Mumbai. I am proposing to sell the imported material on High Seas Sales basis. The buyer of the goods wants the goods to be transferred to a bonded warehouse till he makes the payment and lifts the material. My question is that in case, he does not make the payment within the stipulated time, I will have no option but to sell the goods elsewhere in the local market to recover my dues. In that case, what will happen to the IGM and BE which would already have been filed in the name of the HSS buyer. Can it be amended? Is it possible to file the BE until after the buyer makes the payment to me? Till that time, I will not hand over the HSS agreement o the buyer.

kushal: Wanted some clarification on payment and documentation procedure for a High Sea Sale happening . i.e. from a Party in Bengaluru who has a supplier in Germany and the consignment would be shipped to US. In the entire process there is a margin. We do not want the end customer to know the Margin enjoyed by the Suppller in Bengaluru. The Consignment will not pass through the Customs of India . But directly shipped from Germany to US There should not be any payment issues at the local Banker level.
