They are not, and confusing them is one of the most common CBLE errors. Entry Outward under Section 39 is the permission granted to the vessel or aircraft to begin loading cargo for export. Let Export Order under Section 51 is the permission granted by the proper officer for a specific consignment to be loaded.
