Dear Members

The Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs (CBIC) has issued an order no. F.NO. 401/118/2016-Cus III(Pt.) dated 25th March 2025, requiring all Customs field formations in India to stay open from 29th 31st March 2025 for customs operations, these days will be regarded as official working days for customs.

The aim of this order is to ease trade and commercial activities to guarantee the seamless operation of Customs services.

To ensure compliance, all senior officials, including Principal Chief Commissioners and Chief Commissioners, have already directed to the officers and staff under their supervision about this order. Industry stakeholders have welcomed the decision as the extended working days will prevent delays in import-export clearances and contribute to efficient trade facilitation.
