Indian Agents of Foreign Suppliers

CVC has advised that in the case of imports, that the purchases should preferably be made directly from the manufacturers. Either the Indian Agent on behalf of the foreign principal or the foreign principla directly could bid in a tender but not both. Also, in cases where an agent participates in a tender on behalf of one manufacturer, he should not be allowed to quote on behalf of another manufacturer alongwith the first manufacturer in a subsequent / parallel tender for the same item.

Air Consolidation & Customs Clearance

By and large all imports of CSIR Labs (some time exports also) are made through major Airports viz. N.Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkatta & Chennai. CSIR Lab/Instt is importing goods and machinery through different Air Consolidation & Clearing Agents and some times Air Consolidation by some firm and Customs Clearance by a different firm. The Charges for these services are heavier and some times crosses the cost of the materials. In addition to this the Consolidation & Clearance agents demand to have a Revolving fund to meet the expenses. In this context, it is imperative to have one common Consolidation and Clearing Agent who can attend the above services for all the CSIR Labs/Instt. at the respective Air ports.
