Circular No.14 /2021-Customs, Dated 7-7-2021
In order to substantially increase the pace of assessments and Customs clearance, while further enhancing the uniformity in assessments and anonymity with a view to reduce interface with the trade, the CBIC has announced various measures in the Customs Faceless Assessment and clearance processes.
These measures include increase in enhancement of facilitation levels across all Customs stations to 90% w.e.f. 15-07-2021, relating to Risk Management Division (RMD). This would enable faster clearance of non-risky imports with enhanced focus on risky imports.
Another measure is to shift the entity based DPD to a Bill of Entry based DPD. This would enhance DPD for faster Customs clearances as well as it would ensure de-congestion of ports. Therefore, all the advance Bills of Entry which are fully facilitated (do not require assessment &/or examination) would be granted the facility of DPD. It is clarified that, this facility is over and above the present system of entity based DPD extended to AEO clients.
Other measures include expediting the assessment process, automated generation of examination orders, operationalizing an Anonymized Escalation Mechanism (AEM) on ICEGATE, etc.
