Documents required for import customs clearance in India

This is one of the important articles in export and import trade –What are the documents required for Import clearance? One of frequently asked questions is ‘documents required for import clearance’

Unlike other articles, I can not provide a ‘capsule’ solution on this article about documents required for import customs clearance. I will explain reason behind it. First of all, let me clarify: the documents required for import clearance under all products are not same. However, we can discuss about the common documents required for import customs clearance in importing countries. I will provide you a some general information on documentation of import customs clearance from which you can have a common idea on the subject. I hope, this information helps you a lot to know about documents required for import clearance generally.

Since various types of commodities are imported from different countries, a complete list of documents for import customs clearance procedures can not be provided. More over, different countries have their own policies in turn different procedures and formalities for import clearance. Each product under import and export  is classified under a code number accepted globally which is called ITC number.

There may have bilateral import export agreements between governments of different countries. Imports and exports from such countries may have exemptions on documentation for export and import clearance.

However there are legal documents, common documents and specific documents on commodity basis required to complete import customs procedures.

Let us discuss some of the common documents required for import customs clearance procedures and formalities in some of the importing countries.

Bill of Entry:

Bill of entry is one of the major import document for import customs clearance. As explained previously, Bill of Entry is the legal document to be filed by CHA or Importer duly signed. Bill of Entry is one of the indicators of ‘total outward remittance of country’ regulated by Reserve Bank and Customs department. Bill of entry must be filed within thirty days of arrival of goods at a customs location.

Once after filing bill of entry along with necessary import customs clearance documents, assessment and examination of goods are carried out by concerned customs official. After completion of import customs formalities, a ‘pass out order’ is issued under such bill of entry. Once an importer or his authorized customs house agent obtains ‘pass out order’ from concerned customs official, the imported goods can be moved out of customs. After paying necessary import charges if any to carrier Documents required for import customs clearance of goods and custodian of cargo, the goods can be taken out of customs area to importer’s place. For further read:  How to file Bill of Entry online?  How to file Bill of Entry manually?  Can Bill of Entry be filed before arrival of goods at destination?

Commercial Invoice.

Invoice is the prime document in any business transactions. Invoice is one of the documents required for import customs clearance for value appraisal by concerned customs official. Assessable value is calculated on the basis of terms of delivery of goods mentioned in commercial invoice produced by importer at customs location. I have explained about the method of calculation of assessable value in another article in same web blog. The concerned appraising officer verifies the value mentioned in commercial invoice matches with the actual market value of same goods. This method of inspection by appraising officer of customs prevents fraudulent activities of importer or exporter by over invoicing or under invoicing. So Invoice plays a pivotal role in value assessment in import customs clearance procedures.  Read more: How to prepare Commercial Invoice? Contents of Commercial Invoice.    Difference between proforma Invoice and Commercial InvoiceHowmany types of Bills of Entry in India?

Bill of Lading / Airway bill :

BL/AWB is one of the documents required for import customs clearance.

Bill of lading under sea shipment or Airway bill under air shipment is carrier’s document required to be submitted with customs for import customs clearance purpose. Bill of lading or Airway bill issued by carrier provides the details of cargo with terms of delivery. I have discussed in detail about Bill of Lading and Airway bill separately in this website. You can go through those articles to have a deep knowledge about documents required for import customs clearance.  Read more about: Different types of Bill of Lading   When to release Bill of Lading?  Importance of Bill of Lading

Import License

As I have mentioned above, import license may be required as one of the documents for import customs clearance procedures and formalities under specific products. This license may be mandatory for importing specific goods as per guide lines provided by government. Import of such specific products may have been being regulated by government time to time. So government insist an import license as one of the documents required for import customs clearance to bring those materials from foreign countries.

Insurance certificate

Insurance certificate is one of the documents required for import customs clearance procedures. Insurance certificate is a supporting document against importer’s declaration on terms of delivery. Insurance certificate under import shipment helps customs authorities to verify, whether selling price includes insurance or not. This is required to find assessable value which determines import duty amount.

Purchase order/Letter of Credit

Purchase order is one of the documents required for import customs clearance. A purchase order reflects almost all terms and conditions of sale contract which enables the customs official to confirm on value assessment. If an import consignment is under letter of credit basis, the importer can submit a copy of Letter of Credit along with the documents for import clearance. Also read How does Letter of Credit work?

Technical write up, literature etc. for specific goods if any

Technical write up, literature of imported goods or any other similar documents may be required as one of the documents for import clearance under some specific goods. For example, if a machinery is imported, a technical write up or literature explaining it’s function can be attached along with importing documents. This document helps customs official to derive exact market value of such imported machinery in turn helps for value assessment.

Industrial License if any

An industrial license copy may be required under specific goods importing. If Importer claims any import benefit as per guidelines of government, such Industrial License can be produced to avail the benefit. In such case, Industrial license copy can be submitted with customs authorities as one of the import clearance documents.

RCMC. Registration cum Membership Certificate if any

For the purpose of availing import duty exemption from government agencies under specific goods, production of RCMC with customs authorities is one of the requirements for import clearance. In such cases importer needs to submit Registration Cum Membership Certificate along with import customs clearance documents.

Test report if any

The customs officials may not be able to identify the quality of goods imported. In order to assess the value of such goods, customs official may draw sample of such imported goods and arranges to send for testing to government authorized laboratories. The concerned customs officer can complete appraisement of such goods only after obtaining such test report. So test report is one of the documents under import customs clearance and formalities under some of specific goods.

DEEC/DEPB /ECGC or any other documents for duty benefits

If importer avails any duty exemptions against imported goods under different schemes like DEEC/DEPB/ECGC etc., such license is produced along with other import clearance documents.

 documents required for import clearance

Central excise document if any

If importer avails any central excise benefit under imported goods, the documents pertaining to the same need to be produced along with other import customs clearance documents.

GATT/DGFT declaration.

As per the guidelines of Government of India, every importer needs to file GATT declaration and DGFT declaration along with other import customs clearance documents with customs. GATT declaration has to be filed by Importer as per the terms of General Agreement on Tariff and Trade.

Any other specific documents other than the above mentioned

Apart from the above mentioned documents, importer has to file additional documents if any required as per the guidelines of government / customs department under import of specific goods.

I hope, I could explain you a general idea on documents required for import customs clearance procedures and formalities.

VAT- The sale to the customer of the lift will be on high seas and therefore not subject to VAT. Please confirm. 2. Custom Duty at the rate of 26.6% will be paid and hence no excise duty. Please confirm 3. Income tax- Since our scope of work will be of installation, commissioning and servicing of the imported lift the nature of the order will be in the form of a contract which means that up to a turnover 1.5 Crores the income will be assessed at the rate of the 8% of the contract value and income tax at the prevalent rate will be payable on that amount. Please confirm. 4. A separate PAN number is proposed to be taken for this company executing contracts to avail the specific tax structure where no books of accounts need to produced. 5. The ownership of the company will rest in the name of Pranav Goel who already has a PAN number and returns are being filled for different incomes received by him under different heads 6. For import of goods from China an import export code number(EAC) has to be obtained. The import export code number will be taken in the name of Intec elevators. However these lifts are specifically purchased by the customer directly paying for it and Intec elevators will only be facilitating the transaction. The ownership of the lift will vest the customer and remitted the amount to China through Intec Elevators so no VAT is no applicable. What will be the documentation required to show this. 7. Service tax will only be payable on the labor portion. Service tax which is like an excise duty is payable on the service portion. Can we get the service tax payable adjusted against the custom duty already paid.

Anti-Aging Doctor

Lorraine Maita, MD is a recognized and award-winning holistic, functional and anti aging physician and author. She transforms people’s lives by getting to the root cause of illness and reverses chronic illness through lifestyle change using the best of science and nature. She is known for her knowledge, caring and understanding. Dr. Maita’s visits are long and comprehensive. She really listens and forms a partnership with her patients. Her approach is personalized and you are treated as the unique individual you are.

Dr. Maita served as Chief Medical Officer and Medical Director for 3 Fortune 100 companies and is an Advisory Team Member for WOR radio, the #1 news/talk radio station in the New York Metropolitan area.

She is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and has over 25 years of experience in Preventive Health and Wellness, Internal, Occupational and Travel Medicine and Executive Health at Fortune 100 companies. She is also the author of Vibrance for Life: How to Live Younger and Healthier.

The award-winning physician completed a fellowship in functional and anti-aging medicine, has visited age management clinics and spas both nationally and internationally and trained under many different functional, integrative and anti-aging philosophies to develop her own customizable health enhancement program. Dr. Maita specializes in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, weight loss, nutrition, executive health, and nutritional and metabolic medicine. After working with the doctor, her clients are able to regain their lives, relieve aches and pains, restore intimacy in their relationships, become more motivated to eat right and exercise, and improve personal and professional performance, physical strength and mental clarity. Chronic illnesses are often reversed and patients are less reliant on medications to manage their conditions.

Prior to owning her own practice, Dr. Maita was a physician at several hospitals and clinics and served as Vice President and Chief Medical Officer at Prudential Financial, Medical Director on The Pfizer Health Leadership Team, Medical Director of North America for Johnson & Johnson Global Health Services, attending physician at Executive Health Examiners NY Stock Exchange clinic and Emergency Room physician at St. Luke’s/Roosevelt Hospital in New York City.

Today, Dr. Maita treats individuals with vague to severe health complaints or those who simply feel a loss of self and deteriorating health. Many of her clients have been told by doctors that their health issue comes with age and nothing can be done aside from providing them with medication. “I found that the cookie cutter approach of treating a patient’s symptoms just with drugs for specific ailments does not fundamentally change anything, it only makes them dependent on drugs,” says Dr. Maita. “Through understanding the causative factors and a person’s unique genetic and metabolic make up, along with their lifestyle, how they manage stress and what they do as preventive measures, as well as incorporating fitness, nutrition, supplements and hormones, profound changes take place that are sustainable and gives people their life back.”

“I battled for three years trying to lose 30 pounds and Dr. Maita, who I have known and admired for many years heard of my battle and suggested that she could help me lose the weight I wanted. “In the first 28 days on this diet I lost 26 pounds, which I could not believe, and it gave me the motivation I needed to continue to maintain healthy eating habits to ensure I would not gain any weight back. Within the next 7 days I was able to reach my goal of 30 pounds. I was also able to stop my blood pressure medication. I owe a lot to Dr. Maita and I feel like a new person. I am glad I did it and would recommend Dr. Maita and her professional services to anyone who wants to live life to its fullest! ” – W.Z.

Meeting Planner View Atlantic City

So Meet Me Tonight in Atlantic City

Upon arrival last weekend, I was very impressed with the transformation that has taken place there. No longer is it just pretending to be a rich man in a poor man’s shirt.

The aurora is truly rising behind this solid meetings destination. With the recent opening of the Harrah’s Waterfront Conference Center in the marina district, this is now one of the largest and nicest meetings spaces on the Atlantic seaboard, just over the Jersey state line. Harrah’s offers over 2500 newly renovated sleeping rooms and two stacked 50,000 square foot ballrooms, each breaking into 30 sections. The pre-function space in the conference center was huge, each level had over 25,000 square feet outside the ballroom. They also had outdoor terraces with amazing bay and ocean views. The flexibility of their meeting space was unsurpassed and impressive.

…Sleeping at the beach all night.
The sleeping rooms were divided up into several towers, all have recently been remodeled or are brand new. The vast majority of the rooms have great water views. The elevators were very fast and efficient, something that is often forgotten at a hotel of this size. All the rooms I saw were incredibly nice, with spacious separate tub and shower, with exceptional lighting and counter space. Everything you need to put your makeup on and fix your hair up pretty. The beds were plush and the internet was fast, not much else you need to have an enjoyable stay.

Sleeping room at Harrah’s

…I ain’t here on business, I’m only here for fun.
One of my favorite features at Harrah’s was the massive indoor pool that they turn into a concert venue at night. This is a perfect reception space for up to 400 people. The complex has dozens of restaurants at all price points, ranging from high end steak houses to grab a slice pizza joints. Overall, I found the food to be really good, high quality, and it was not overpriced. Several venues did live music at night, adding to the energy of the hotel. The casino was huge, but not all that noisy. They also have a large performance theater that seats 1200, this can also be used for private events or general sessions should the need arise. Harrah’s offers a very unique offering, a large Viking cooking school. This gives people the opportunity to cook their own meal and learn from professional chefs, then eat what they made in a back room with wine parings. It looked like a lot of fun, this type of experiential activity is really popular right now.

…Rich man wanna be king
Over in the center of the boardwalk is Caesars Palace, an 1100 room hotel. This hotel is smack in the center of the action. This is a miniature version of the iconic hotel in Las Vegas. They have 28,000 square feet of meeting space, highlighted by a 17,000 square foot ballroom. The hotel has some of the best restaurants on the boardwalk, Morton’s, Nero’s Italian, Phillips Seafood, and Gordon Ramsey’s Pub and Grill. This is a truly great hotel for groups of 250-300. The rooms were very upscale and large, all with nice water views.

…Running off down the boardwalk
Next to Caesars, is Ballys, a 1200 room hotel. Ballys is a really nice option for groups more on a budget than Caesars or Harrah’s, but still a nice product. The 80,000 square foot meeting space is all on one level, making it very convenient. They also offer the largest casino floor in Atlantic City, and also have a number of restaurants at all price points. Both Bally’s and Caesars are right across from a massive outlet mall. The prices and selection were outstanding here, I am not a shopping fan, but this was one of the best outlet malls I have ever been to.

…Never gave no thought to landing.
The Atlantic City airport has very limited service, right now only Spirit flies in there. The Philadelphia airport is about an hour away, giving you a ton of flight options. This time from the airport should not be a huge impairment to booking there, as it is often an hour or more to get to the main downtown hotels in cities like Chicago, LA, New York, Houston, and plenty of other cities. As an added convenience, one-third of the US population is within one tank of gas to get to Atlantic City, tearing down the highway like a big old dinosaur. So Mary, climb in…We’re pulling out of here to win.

…Cant start a fire without a spark.
For many people, the first thing that they think of when entering a casino is the amount of smoke that is used to be omnipresent. The filtration systems that casinos have installed recently has changed this reality. I spent extensive time at three large casinos and never once smelled smoke in any public area. The meetings spaces are all non- smoking, as are the restaurants. In years past, it was impossible to enter a casino without smelling like an ashtray, but these are better days shining through now, making this a non-issue in most casinos.

I was impressed by the transformation that the city and the hotels that I visited has undergone. It is a city I would enjoy going back to, and one I can see bringing groups of all sizes to in the future. There is still a lot of value to be found here, especially for groups booking during the week. It has all of the amenities that my groups are looking for, and is perfect for those groups that has a big driving contingent and those looking at the Northeast.

I will say it again, Meet me tonight in Atlantic City.

Meet Haley – HPN Graduating Intern from ASU

The past few months I had the pleasure of being an Intern at HPN Global and work with several teams within the company. Before I begin reflecting on my experience, I want to share that I was the first intern HPN has ever taken on. HPN and I both took a leap of faith with this internship. My first day at HPN was in December and I was nervous about joining an office with forty people. I did not know what to expect. Are people going to introduce themselves to me? Do people know who I am? Am I ready to work full-time for a company I was recently introduced to?

Although all these thoughts ran through my head, my first day went great! I was introduced to everyone that I would be working with, with a welcoming, “Hello” and “Can’t wait for you to be a part of our team”. For the first few weeks of my internship I worked as the Office Administrator, where I greeted everyone as they walked through the door. I also sent and delivered mail for the office, and helped with any tasks that need to be completed. Starting off as the Office Administrator I thought my degree was not being used to its fullest potential. But I quickly realized first impressions mean everything in the hospitality industry and that everyone needs to start somewhere.

After returning from Christmas break, I was given the opportunity to be a part of the Meeting Services team. I participated in weekly meetings where past and future programs were discussed. This department is constantly on the move and busy. Because of that, some of the tasks given to me were challenging. However, I learned quickly that I had to be assertive and make myself available on daily basis for the team. I was given the responsibility of creating the monthly Meeting Services Newsletter, designing several proposal templates, and updating the database.

Towards the end of my internship, I joined the Sourcing Team. Being a part of this team, I saw everything from the Associate’s Request for Proposal, hotel selection, to the client’s final decision. Taking a role in this department was not only challenging but required me to step out of my comfort zone. I was given the responsibility to call associates and hotels, which, at first, was extremely intimidating to me. However, through practice and great training by the Sourcing Team, I gained the confidence to make the difficult calls and make sure deadlines were met. As training came to an end, I was asked to look over RFP’s, select appropriate hotels, follow up with hotels, and notify the associate once all hotels returned the bid.

In addition to helping with the Site Selection process, I was given the opportunity to visit several hotels throughout the Phoenix Area. This allowed me to see how each Hotel Brand and Property differ, as well as, the different parts of the Hospitality Industry.

HPN welcomed me with open arms and I truly felt a part of the team when I was with them. From weekly meetings to visiting hotels and social gatherings after work, I learned that HPN is all about “Family First” and that “Relationships Matter”. My role with the Sourcing Team, and more importantly, taking my Internship with HPN has allowed me to gain confidence. I am forever grateful for the experience. Moving forward, I will not be afraid to introduce myself to an unfamiliar face, take on new and challenging tasks, be assertive and asks for more. I truly love the Hospitality Industry.

However, the long standing agreement with Lurie’s Children’s Hospital where his team donated as well as designed 9 sleep suites for families to stay close to their child needing extended healthcare is bar none one of his most influential and sustainable projects he was involved with.

Jao was blown away as one of the core values for HPN Global is “Family First.” Jao is the fourth of nine children. His siblings have provided their parents with 16 grandchildren and counting. In 1999, Roderick married Melissa and they are blessed with two children (Cassie 18 and Xander 16).

A humanist view of society

At Humanists UK, we campaign in favour of free thinking and freedom of choice so that everyone can live in a fair and equal society. We are a human rights charity bringing together tens of thousands of people with a shared humanist outlook on the world to influence public debate and policy, in support of human rights, democracy, and equal dignity and treatment of everyone – including those with whom we disagree.

We do this because we are humanists: people who shape their own lives in the here and now, because we believe it’s the only life we have. Because it’s this life that counts, we believe that governments have a duty to guarantee and respect the human rights of citizens, and base their decisions on evidence, empathy, and compassion.

Our ideal society is the ‘open society’ – one in which individual liberty, including freedom of belief and speech, is reinforced by a deliberate policy on the part of government and all official bodies of disinterested impartiality towards the many beliefs, philosophies, and political viewpoints within society, so long as they confirm to agreed minimum standards and conventions.

We see rational thinking and kindness not only as the best basis for sound government policy, but the best recipe for a happier, more fulfilled, more harmonious society as well. With this in mind, we pursue democratic reforms to remove institutional bias from government, particularly around the role of religion or belief in society. We recognise and respect the deep commitment of other people to religious and other non-humanist views, and do not seek a privileged position for humanism. At the same time we reject any claims that others may make to privileged positions by virtue of their own beliefs.

For example, rather than support a system where children are divided up by faith schools on the basis of religion, we advocate an education system where children from all beliefs and backgrounds can learn side by side, and learn about all religions and humanism through the curriculum. Or, rather than support compulsory worship or prayers in schools, as the law says all state schools in the UK must do, we support inclusive assemblies exploring values, ideals, and aspirations which all pupils can benefit from, regardless of religion or belief. Policies like these emerge not only from our desire for a fair society underpinned by an impartial state, but also our understanding of the positive rights of children – including their inalienable rights to a broad and balanced education that will help them decide and shape their own beliefs.

On ethical issues like the right to die, we want to give choice and dignity back to people with incurable conditions on the basis that it is their right and they deserve our compassion – as opposed to the traditional religious view that life is sacred and so must never be ended.

Supported by our members, we champion positive ideas and policies for the one life we have. In many areas of life where governments look to give priority to religious organisations’ views about society, we strive to ensure the views of the non-religious are heard and listened to.

Written Word Wednesday -NaNoWriMo Week 1

I have lived through five full days of NaNoWriMo! Woo-hoo! 8,693 words written, absolutely no fits had, zero editing, and having a pretty great time. I have been encouraged by family, fellow writers and several text messages from my brother in law who is living vicariously through me. I have no idea if what I am writing will amount to an actual novel, but I am having fun doing it.

In other writing news my pre-ordered copy of The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern arrived in the mail yesterday. I have been looking forward to it all year. I love the Night Circus, and reread/ relisten to the audio book every couple of months. I haven’t started reading it yet, but maybe later tonight with luck. Or maybe after November is over.

I hope November is treating you well.

The term ‘Insurance” is thrown around a lot in this industry and it can become confusing to distinguish one from another. “Do I need insurance?” “What am I covered for?” “What are the costs?” are all great questions and something you should be familiar with. Below are the three components that relate to your home and the mortgage.

Mortgage Loan Insurance

‘Lender Insurance’

Insurance for lenders when the purchase price is greater than 80% of the homes value. This is required when the downpayment is less than 20% and is typically added into the mortgage.

The Three Providers Include:

  • Canadian Housing & Mortgage Corp. (CMHC)
  • Genworth Financial
  • Canada Guaranty

Home Owners Insurance

‘Home Insurance’

Insurance, such as fire coverage, to protect the physical dwelling or property. This type of insurance is required for homes that have a mortgage and must be in place on or before the time of purchase and continue for the duration of the mortgage.

Mortgage Protection Plan

‘Homeowners Insurance’

Insurance for homeowners in the event of death, serious accident, or illness that leave you or your partner unable to work. With employer and private polices covering lost income, this covers your mortgage balance/payments.

Providers Include:

  • Manulife
  • Scotiabank
  • TD Bank

Zdeněk Blatný (born January 14, 1981 in Brno, Czechoslovakia) is a Czech professional ice hockey left wing. He was drafted in the third round, 68th overall, by the Atlanta Thrashers in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft.

Timing of Steroid Injections Before Rotator Cuff Surgery Affects the Infection Risk

    For patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, previous steroid injections into the shoulder don’t increase the risk of surgical site infection – unless the injection is administered within the month before surgery, according to a study published in The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery.

    Researchers from Rush University Medical Center used PearlDiver insurance database to identify more than 60,000 patients who had arthroscopic surgery for repair of a torn rotator cuff between 2007 to 2016 – 12,060 who had received a steroid injection in the year before surgery and 48,763 who had not received a shoulder injection during that time period. The overall infection rate was nearly identical between groups: 0.7% for patients who had received a shoulder injection in the year before surgery and 0.8% in those who did not.

    However, among patients who had a steroid injection 1 month or less before surgery, the infection rate was significantly higher than that in the control group at 1.3%. Injections received at any other interval during the year before rotator cuff repair – from 2 to 12 months – did not affect the postoperative infection risk.

    After adjusting for other factors, the researchers found that a steroid injection in the month before surgery was the single strongest predictor of postoperative infection. Other risk factors identified were consistent with findings from previous studies: male sex, smoking, obesity, and diabetes.

    Symptomatic rotator cuff tears are common, occurring in more than 30% of the population, and steroid injections are often used to reduce pain and inflammation as part of conservative treatment. If surgery is indicated, surgeons may delay rotator cuff repair in patients who have received these injections due to concern over the risk of infection. However, until now there was little evidence on the risks of infection after a preoperative injection.

    The new findings suggest that infection risk is increased only for patients who have a steroid injection within a month before rotator cuff surgery. Thereafter, the timing of shoulder injections seems to have no effect on the risk of infection.

    That’s an important piece of information for orthopaedic surgeons, as many patients opt for – and insurers may require – a period of conservative treatment before surgery for rotator cuff tears.

    Forsythe B, Agarwalla A, Puzzitiello RN, Sumner S, Romeo AA, Mascarenhas R. The Timing of Injections Prior to Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Impacts the Risk of Surgical Site Infection. J Bone Joint Surg. 2019 Apr 17;101(8):682-687. doi: 10.2106/JBJS.18.00631.

Nearly A Third of Americans Aren't Getting Enough of This Vitamin?

Additional Details
Published Date:
Video Transcript

Hi and welcome to this week’s look at what’s making headlines in natural health on…

Do you get enough vitamin C?  It turns out… about 35 percent of the US adult population needs more.  That’s an estimate of people with metabolic syndrome in this country.

New research is showing that a higher intake of vitamin C can stop a vicious cycle related to the condition.  A diet high in fat leads to low-grade inflammation in the body, which later, leads to metabolic syndrome.  That condition leads to impaired gut function, and vitamin C depletion, which then leads to poor movement of vitamin E in the body.

But research out of Oregon is showing that vitamin C helps protect vitamin E, which in turn, boosts antioxidant protection in the body.  Also, people with metabolic syndrome typically need more vitamin C… they have lower plasma concentrations due to the body’s anti-inflammatory responses.

And a recent study in Mississippi is highlighting another indication that sugar-sweetened beverages can cause harm.

The study looked at over 3 thousand African-American men with normal kidney function who were enrolled in an previous heart study.  The study tracked beverage intake over a four year period, then followed up the participants four more years starting 5 years later.  The results found that those who consumed the most soda, sweetened fruit drinks and water was linked to a 61 percent increased likelihood to develop chronic kidney disease.  Yes, water was included… but participants may have reported a wide variety of water, including flavored and sweetened water.

Unfortunately, researchers did not collect information about specific brands or types of bottled water in the study.

Finally… research is finding hope for a rare form of cancer from a plant.

Uveal melanoma is a cancer of the eye… it affects about 2000 adults every year and in half of the cases, the disease metastasizes to the liver.  But research is indicating a compound extracted from the Christmas berry primrose may stop the cancer’s growth.  The compound was discovered 30 years ago from the plant’s leaves… it works by blocking a type of protein that sits on the cell’s membrane.  But some of these proteins are mutated in that kind of cancer… turning on a pathway that leads to cancer growth.

Researchers found that this compound blocked the growth of the cancer cells and that higher doses killed the cells… giving hope that this compound may help lead to effective treatments for the cancer in the future.

That’s a look at what’s making headlines in natural health this week.  Make sure to go to and sign up for our free email newsletter so you stay connected to the latest in natural health!

Q & A

Trans Attraction and Passing Privilege

Sexy Woman in Revealing Red Dress

Dear Jamie,

I’m a 36-year-old trans admirer and have been “out” for about ten years. I have brought t-girls home to Mom and Dad, had a monogamous five-year relationship with a trans woman, and have had some brief flings. Sometimes I date cis women, but I am almost always more attracted to transgenders.

Sometimes it can be challenging to share my desires, love, and truth with some circles like work, but I never felt there was anything to hide. I refuse to deny the human being that I love in front of my friends.

So I was a little surprised recently when I was criticized for being transphobic! A cis female friend wanted to set me up with a girl she thought I’d really like, but I just didn’t find her attractive. My friend said that my insistence that a trans girl look more feminine was all about “passing privilege.”

I’ve seen some videos talking about this passing-privilege issue on YouTube in the trans activism circles—there was a trans woman who decided she didn’t want to change anything about her appearance, including the three-piece suit and beard but wanted to be called “she” and identify as a woman. That’s fine with me, to each their own, but this woman said if men weren’t sexually attracted to her, it was because they objectify trans women as sex objects and they hate trans people.

What happened to attraction being about a specific person?

It’s all becoming a little too politicized out there. Isn’t a guy allowed to have his personal taste? Isn’t the whole point of being trans that you identify with more feminine aspects of identity and culture. – Cole, 36

Dear Cole,

I have some cis female friends who have told me I’m transphobic too. I’m pretty sure we all have a bit of transphobia inside us somewhere, so I try to just let them say their view. The important thing is being open to change and growing. If we learn something new and find a wider open heart to see someone in a new way, that’s great.

I need trans women to keep educating me on how things work for them, and I’m open to that and so are you, so just keep listening and learning and loving.

On the other hand, I always take some offence at people who police desire. No, you don’t have to be attracted to everyone—NO ONE IS.

Desire is by its very nature discriminating. Some guys like petite gingers, and others love larger than life African-American women. Some men love older women, and some love women with long hair or a hairy pussy or a big butt. Some like trans women exclusively, and some don’t, and some don’t want to fuck women at all.

It’s totally fascist in my mind to tell other people when their dick is supposed to get hard.

So the best tact to take with this kind of person is to just smile blandly and ignore them. I try not to get too upset by the stranger margins of trans politics because in a world where transgender people were invisible, there is a lot to work out and sometimes a lot of anger and fear and some of it might be misdirected— but it has to be worked through, and that’s all it is that we’re seeing.

I’ll listen closely to every voice, but that doesn’t mean I’ll agree with everything.

In the meantime, like anyone else, go out with the women you find attractive. Period. And be kind to everyone.

This week the Lipstick League wants to know what you're hiding. Actually, what we really want to know is how – and how well – you're hiding it.

Concealer I'm using right now

This week the Lipstick League asks this probing question: Quick! Name the last concealer that you purchased and tell us how it’s been working for you.

Eek! I'm still using the Vichy Teint Idéal Illuminating Concealer I tried just before this sponsored campaign; it's even in my travel-sized-stuffs Lipstick League post. It's a buildable-to-just-more-than-medium coverage with subtle light-reflecting pigment. When my skin's happy, I skip foundation and use only this concealer under my eyes, around the base of my nose and in all those "highlighter areas" to brighten my face. Love it.

When I've got more shadow than usual under my eyes, I dab a bit of Pixi Correction Concentrate in Brightening Peach on first, and top with a little Vichy Teint Idéal.

I do have some new PR samples of concealers from other brands to try, but they're all back at home while I'm away. I'm returning to Canada in less than a week, though, so I'll be testing product shortly thereafter.
