Self Sealing Permission is an approval granted by Indian Customs that enables exporters to seal their export containers directly at their own premises, bypassing the need to do so at customs stations. This significantly streamlines the export process by minimizing time and costs.
Who Should Avail Self Sealing Permission?
Any exporter with frequent export shipments should avail this facility to minimise time and cost associated with export logistics
Procedure for Self Sealing or E-Sealing
Exporters must apply to the jurisdictional customs officer, providing required documents such as application forms, CHA authorization, and specimen signatures.
Upon inspection and approval, exporters receive permission for self-sealing at their premises.
Export containers are sealed with RFID-based electronic seals.
Data such as IEC, shipping bill details, and container numbers must be fed into the e-seal system.

How to Export with Self Sealing
Seal the container using an RFID e-seal.
Transport documents required under GST or equivalent transport challans must accompany the shipment.
At the port or ICD, customs officers verify the e-seal integrity.
If the seal is untampered, export clearance is granted. If tampered, the consignment undergoes physical inspection.
