A benefit of Exemption applications to TRCSL is that no sample is required to be submitted along with the equipment exemption application. Following are the benefits of getting these specific letters of exemption for your exempt equipment:
1. The importer can use the letter at the stage of equipment import. Otherwise the importer must submit all necessary technical details and test reports to prove the product does not require TRCSL Type Approval Certificate every time at the time of import.
2. This significantly helps importers in avoiding the laborious tasks of repeatedly producing same details/documentation to customs and helps with speedy clearance of shipments as well
3. Having specific exemption letters helps importers to get the shipments cleared promptly and deliver the shipments to distributors/end clients in a timely manner thus increasing time to market and removing business delays.
