KYC Notification
The Central Board of Excise & Customs has put in place the KYC (Know Your Customer) guidelines which put an obligation on us to verify the antecedent, correctness of the IEC code, identity of the customer and their functioning in the declared address by using reliable, independent, authentic documents, data or information. The guidelines states that it would be obligatory for the customer to furnish necessary documents as stated in the notification annex.The circular (No. 9 / 2010 – Customs dated 8th April 2010), in paragraph iv (6) speaks on the KYC norms.
In this light, it is incumbent on us to have all the customer details including customer's Authorization Letter (AL) is stored at TNT and available to be furnished on demand to the Customs Department for all shipments sent from or received into India. Absence of these documents will mean clearance delay as shipments will go into Customs Bond until KYC documents are provided by the shipper or consignee based in India.
You are requested to kindly provide the requisite information to TNT. You may send the KYC documents and Authorization Letter ( click here for AL format) vide e-mail to TNT on in.kyc@tnt.com
Should you need any further information, please do contact your TNT representative or call us on 1800 208 9999 / 1800 425 9999 or email us on in.marketing@tnt.com
