Dear Members,
This is in continuation of our recent mailer informing you about CBIC circular No.09/2019-Customs, dtd. 28/02/2019 regarding Turant Customs-Next generation reform for Ease of Doing Business.
Pursuant to the same, O/o The Commissioner of Customs (NS-III), RMS Facilitation Centre, Jawaharlal Nehru Custom House have issued Public Notice No. 33/2019 dated 22/04/2019 regarding Turant Customs - Automated queuing of Bills of Entry for ‘Out of Charge”.
We understand that a new functionality has been enabled in ICES 1.5, whereby the Bills of Entry pending for clearance are automatically queued before the proper officer having SUP role for providing Out of Charge (OoC).
As you might be aware, Prior to launch of Turant Customs, the importer / authorised person / Customs broker was required to present to the proper officer the hard copy of Bill of Entry with examination order for registering the same at RMS Facilitation Centre or CFSs for examination and / or Out of Charge from SUP role. Now, the importer can register on-line into the ICES system for OoC. The new automated queuing feature which will not require the importer / authorised person to physically present the Bill of Entry details to the Customs officer. The Bills of Entry pending for clearance will automatically come before the OoC officer following FIFO rule, once on-line registration has been done by the Customs broker or importer, much like the queuing of Bills of Entry for assessment in Appraising Groups. Customs broker and importers are advised to ensure that Bills of Entry are registered on-line and not to approach the RMS Facilitation Centre for registration.
However, few issues which require certain clarifications on the procedure to be followed are explained in the above said JNCH Public Notice PUBLIC NOTICE No. 33/2019 dated 22/04/2019 regarding Turant Customs - Automated queuing of Bills of Entry for ‘Out of Charge.
This circular is available for reference using below links-
