The introduction of a new customs regulation in India may cause confusion if interpreted as requiring a carrier to show the cargo’s invoice value on the bill of lading, effectively making it an ad valoreum bill of lading.
The Indian Ministry of Finance recently issued the Sea Cargo Manifest and Transhipment Regulations 2018 (“SCMT”) relating to cargo manifests. These were meant to come into force on 01 August 2019, but it is understood that this has been delayed until 15 September 2019 with an additional grace period until 1 November 2019 for use of new forms.

印度最新海关法规可能引起提单混淆
要求承运人在提单上显示货物发票价值这一项新的印度海关法规可能会引起混淆，这实质上已使其成为从价提单。
印度财政部近日发布了《2018年海运货物舱单和转运条例》(SCMT)。该条例原定于2019年8月1日生效，但据了解已被推迟至2019年9月15日且使用新表格的额外宽限延至2019年11月1日。
