In order to streamline issuing of Export Permits, the Board has proposed to introduce the facility for filing Export Permit Application (EPA) through its Website, which will be hosted on 18/06/2001 after trial run. Exporters interested in availing this facility online are requested to intimate the Board on or before 12/06/2001 to enable the Board to allot individual ID with Password. The Website address for logging in for export permit application is www.kar.nic.in/exportcoffee

Stages of filing Export Permit Application through Website
1. The Exporters may file Export Permit Application (EPA) through Internet on Board's Website, as mentioned above.
2. The Export Permit Application through Internet will be downloaded as follows:
  • Twice a day at 10.00 AM and 1.00 PM daily Monday to Friday on working days.
  • On all Saturdays,** it will be downloaded once at 10.00 AM again at 11.00 AM. (** From Jan to Aug every year) Accordingly the Export Permit and ICO Certificate will be kept ready for collection in Exports Section at 1.00 PM and at 4.30 PM from Monday to Friday on working days. On Saturdays, * the permit and ICO Certificate of origin will be ready for collection at 1.00 PM. (* Only during Jan to Aug every year)

3. The existing facility of receiving EPA manually will also continue in addition to the proposed facility for filing of Export Permit Application through Internet.
4. The exporters who have preferred to file an Export Permit Application through Board's Website are not required to submit the ICO Certificate of Origin as the same will be prepared by the Board and issued along with Export Permit. However, such of those exporters who wish to collect the EPA in person, as is being done in the existing system, should prepare and submit the ICO Certificate along with EPA to enable the Board to issue the certificate together with permit.
5. The Exporters who wish to submit their EPA in person, should hereafter submit their EPA before 11.00 AM. They may collect the Permits and ICO Certificates at 4.30 PM on the same day.
6. The Coffee Board will facilitate the exporters to opt for collection of the Permits and ICO Certificates either in person or through courier on TO PAY service.
7. The exporters are required to file their shipment details through Website immediately after shipment is effected and submit the hard copies of post-shipment documents within 45 days from the date of issue of permit. Such of those exporters who fail to file their shipment details after shipment and submit the post-shipments documents within 45 days, their EPA will not be entertained for issuing further permits.
8. Facility for seeking Extension/Cancellation of permit through Website is also provided.

In order to meet the increase in administrative expenditure connected with the issue of Export Permit and ICO Certificate of Origin, the cost of Certificate of Origin is revised from Rs. 50/- to Rs. 150/- per set with immediate effect. However the cost of Certificate of Origin per set will be Rs. 300/- on Saturdays.

The application for registration for filing EPA through Website should accompany the deposit amount in Demand Draft drawn in favour of Coffee Board General Fund Account No. 1. In the case of new and existing exporters, the minimum deposit will be Rs. 5,000/-. The exporters who wish to file EPA through Website, are required to deposit the amount half yearly before 31st May and 31st December of each year, in advance by way of Demand Draft only. The amount to be deposited by the exporters will be based on their number of Certificates of Origin to be obtained by them during the ensuing half year.

The above online system will facilitate filing of an EPA, seeking extension of permit issued, cancellation of permit, filing of post-shipment details, obtaining the permit as well as ICO Certificate twice a day at 1.00 PM and 4.30 PM in case the EPA is made through Web, in addition to the option for dispatching them through courier etc. Further the existing system of receiving EPA manually will also continue in parallel to system of filing an EPA through Web.

The exporters who wish to avail the above facility may register with Coffee Board before 12/06/2001 to secure ID and Password.

An application is enclosed herewith which may be filled-up and returned to the Exports Section of the Board along with minimum deposit. The procedure for keying the EPA in the screen formats in the Board's Website will be intimated while allotting the ID and Password.
