Sanjay Mehra: I have been to your website which Is very informative, clear and good. However there are a few missing points which for general people are the most concerning including myself. It would be great if you can help in highlighting the same. Situation Example. Export Order Received By Merchant Exporter. Merchant Exporter Does Not Want To Expose The Client To Manufacturer BUT Due to DEPB or Drawback benefits he has to show supporting manufacturer name in Shipping Bill and the same has to be given back to manufacturer after shipment for him to claim refund or export incentives. How does Merchant Exporter protect himself. Can he file Shipping Bill in "To Order" name or is there any other alternative. Situation Example. Export Order Received By Merchant Exporter at Value X. Manufacturer Supplies Goods at Y, In event of Merchant Exporter wanting to hide his sale price from Manufacturer can he file One invoice value with customs while exporting and then send another higher invoice with Higher Value to buyer . If so how do we explain this to Bank / RBI. I would very much appreciate your opinion and views on the above.

This is the reason why our community decided to contact the good western world people to work with. Due to the way they are trying to mine their products some people are trying to teach them, and again they don't know about the world market for raw gold and diamonds, some mandates, buyers rep and end buyers themselves have come here and carried their products on credits worth millions of USD and promised to come back with their money and never came back again or transfered the money into the company's bank account. So right now i want to get them serious people who can buy these products or help them sell the products at the international market and at the moment we have GOLD DORE/BAR and ROUGH/UNCUT DIAMONDS in big quantity for sale at cheap price. They need people like you, people over there to help them develop their goal so that they can help our families and the entire community because people sicks and dies here because no money to take them to hospitals and besides no single good hospital here, no standard schools, no good road, no electricity. Few individuals here uses small generators for light and no clean water. They have the products but no means of selling it internationally to make reasonable money, they are very poor here due to the way goverment and some people treats them so they want serious cash buyer who can be their eyes and mouths. They are ready to give you good price as long as you are serious and ready, and also need an investor who will be ready and capable to modernize their mining company and work together for fruitful and mutual benefit. For intance they need to buy mining equipment such as, bulldozers, tractors, excavators, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, motor graders, dump trump trucks, crushing, etc because we need to ehance our mining productions. We will give good price below the world market price for raw gold and diamonds.
