Dear Members,

We would like inform you that   the  O/o  Commissioner Of Customs (NS-III),  JNCH has issued Public Notice No. 164/2018 dated 28/12/2018 regarding Clearance of fully facilitated Bills of Entry pending for more than 24 hours.

We understand from the above-said Public Notice,  that  it has come to the notice of Customs Authorities  that importers or their Customs Brokers are delaying the clearance by not paying applicable duty (average delay: 70-85 hours) and not registering even after payment of duty (average delay: 50-60 hours) for fully facilitated Bills of Entry (No assessment / No examination prescribed).

In this regard, All Importers and Customs Brokers   have been  requested to clear the fully facilitated Bills  of Entry in less than 24 hours time (from entry inward / arrival of goods).

A helpdesk has been created in RMS facilitation centre to address any difficulty  faced by Importers / Customs Brokers in clearance or to clear any doubt.   All concerned must approach helpdesk to resolve issue and obtain Out of Charge within 24 hours.

The officers at helpdesk to be contacted are as below:

Persistent issues,  if any, can also  put forth to the council on ed@chemexcil.gov.in and deepak.gupta@chemexcil.gov.in .
