Quick Summary: The Madras High Court has told the Deputy Commissioner of Customs in Chennai to look into a request from Sprixoo Knit Wear to change their shipping bills so they can get export benefits. The decision, made on January 22, 2026, gives an 8-week deadline for this to happen.

Background of the Case

Sprixoo Knit Wear, a company based in Tirupur, asked the Madras High Court for help. They wanted the court to order the Deputy Commissioner of Customs at the Aircargo Complex in Meenambakkam, Chennai, to change some of their shipping documents. These documents are numbers 8917699, 8918558, 8917723, and 8918584, all from March 11, 2025.

The Company's Request

The company, represented by partner A. Sivabalan, said they needed the shipping documents changed to include the correct Scheme Code 61. This change would let them get benefits under the RoSCTL scheme. They had officially asked for this change on June 26, 2025, but hadn't received a response.

Court's Decision

Justice Abdul Quddhose handled the case. He noticed that the customs department hadn't replied to Sprixoo Knit Wear's request. The court decided that there would be no problem for the customs department to consider the request. So, the court told the customs department to make a decision within 8 weeks.

Next Steps for Customs

The court didn't say whether Sprixoo Knit Wear's request was right or wrong. It just told the customs department to review the request and decide according to the law.

Summary

The court's decision means Sprixoo Knit Wear will at least get their request looked at. The customs department now has a deadline to make a decision about changing the shipping documents.
