The Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC) has issued a corrigendum and clarified the date reference in its recent Circular No. 13/2025-Customs, which formally rescinds the earlier Circular No. 29/2020-Customs concerning the transshipment of export cargo from Bangladesh through Indian Land Customs Stations (LCSs).
What Circular States
Circular No. 13/2025 dated 8th April 2025, announced that CBIC has withdrawn the permission granted under Circular No. 29/2020-Customs, which had enabled export cargo from Bangladesh to third countries via Indian ports and airports using land customs stations and containerized or closed-bodied trucks.

“It has been decided to rescind the aforesaid Circular No. 29/2020-Customs dated 29.06.2020, as amended, with immediate effect. Cargo already entered into India may be allowed to exit the Indian territory as per procedure given in the Circular No. 29/2020-Customs,” the circular reads.
This effectively halts new transshipment entries under the old framework while allowing existing cargo already en route or in transit to continue under previously established protocols.

The corrigendum states:
“Wherever date ‘29.06.2020’ is mentioned against Circular No. 29/2020-Customs, it may be read as ‘22.06.2020’”.
