Dear Members,

 

In order to facilitate  exports and give a fillip to the global outreach of India’s exporters via e-commerce,  the “Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC)” has issued Circular No. 14/2018-Customs dated 04/06/2018,  Notification no. 48/2018- Customs (N.T) and instructions dated 04/06/2018 regarding Procedure for e-commerce exports through Post and clarification on personal imports,  Exports by Post Regulations, 2018  and also Clearance of goods through FPOs.

 

For the convenience of  members, important points  of circular/ instruction are reproduced as follows:

 

• All IEC holders  have been permitted to export goods through FPOs.

 

• Any IEC holder exporting goods through the FPO, will be eligible for zero rating of exports, by way of IGST refund or discharge of LUT. Those who do not wish to avail this facility or fall in the category of Exempted/Non - Taxable are also permitted to export under the same procedure.

•  

•  In order to cater to e-commerce exports through post, the Board has prescribed the declaration forms under “Exports by Post Regulations, 2018”.

 

• In absence of EDI system at FPOs, the  Postal Bill of Export (PBE-I) for e-commerce exports will be processed in manual environment for the time being. However, for the purpose of GST, data will be captured and uploaded through an off-line utility (ICAN) provided by DG(Systems).

•  

•  It is clarified that till such time that computers with ICAN facility are installed and operationalised, exporters will be free to follow the procedure contained   in  the above-said circular.
