Dear Khun Phing,
The initial BJ bank guarantee expired already in April 2013. It has to be assumed that all shipments imported under this BG have been cleared permanently, i.e. absolute clearance done in the meantime.
Action plan:
è Khun Nhoi / Khun Suda; please draft application letter and pass on to Khun Phing to obtain signatory. Then please send to customs house and obtain original BG. Customs will then verify internally with all customs houses, whether anything pending, and we expect to obtain the BG within 2 to 3 months after submission of the application.
The initial Baker (BHT) guarantee, is valid until March 31, 2015 (2558), can be returned resp. Baker can issue application to be returned once ALL shipments for which the BG has been used are permanently cleared, i.e. once DHL performed the absolute clearance. Can you follow up with DHL and let us know. We can then draft the application letter, and proceed as with BJ BG later on.
Pleased to hear and thank you in advance.
With best regards,
Kuehne + Nagel Ltd. - Projects / Oil & Gas / Marine Logistics
