    True or False. The following step upon receiving notification of arrival of shipment is to initiate request to Finance Department for issuance of payment to cover duties and taxes.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Upon receiving notification of arrival of a shipment, the next step is to initiate a request to the Finance Department for issuance of payment to cover duties and taxes. This is necessary because duties and taxes are typically required to be paid before the shipment can be released and delivered. By initiating the request for payment, the necessary funds can be allocated and the payment process can be initiated in a timely manner, ensuring that the shipment can be cleared and delivered without any delays.

    The statement is true because the Customs Agent/Import Export Officer is responsible for ensuring that all necessary licenses and permits are obtained for importing goods into a country. This includes securing an import license and any other permits that may be required by the customs authorities. By doing so, the officer ensures that all imports comply with the regulations and laws of the country, and helps to facilitate the smooth and legal flow of goods across borders.

This is because all three parties - the Customs Agent, Import Export Officer, and Supplier (ISI) - are involved in the import/export process and have a stake in ensuring that the goods are in proper condition and any discrepancies or damages are addressed. Notifying all of them ensures that the issue is brought to their attention and appropriate actions can be taken to resolve it.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because it states that the Finance Department receives requests for payment to cover duties and taxes from both the Customs Agent and the Production Manager. However, the statement does not provide any information or context to support this claim. Therefore, we cannot assume that the Finance Department receives such requests from these individuals.
