Please advise in the following case: Company X is changing its name to Company Y on October 5th 2018. It imports raw materials, spares, accessories and FG (which require MRP declaration) from foreign countries and trades in India. Stock imported prior to above said date and few in-transit items received after above said date are expected to have name of Company X as importer's name.
