Sub: Reducing/eliminating printouts in Customs Clearance
Dear Member,
Kindly refer to SRTEPC Circular No.ES/185 / 2016-17 November 24, 2016 wherein the Council informed you regarding a circular issued by CBEC vide Circular No. 55/ 2016- Customs dated 23.11.2016 regarding the reduction /elimination of printouts in Customs Clearance.
CBEC has recently taken initiatives for reducing/ eliminating printouts for more or less Paperless Customs Clearance and has done away with routine printing of various documents like GAR7 forms/ TR-6 Challans, TP copy, Shipping Bill (Exchange Control copy and Export Promotion copy), etc. however there could be cases where printing is necessitated.
In this connection, to promote ease of doing business by reducing use of paper, the Board has issued instructions given in the above Circular. These instructions should be made operational from 01.12.2016.
Now, the Office of the Commissioner of Customs, JNCH (Nhava Sheva) has issued Public Notice no. 152/2016 dated 24.11.2016 on the above subject.
Members may kindly make note of the same.
Thanking you,
V. ANIL KUMAR
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
