Customs – On-site Post Clearance Audit (OSPCA) – CBEC Chairman Allays Apprehensions

September 1, 2011 2324 Views 0 comment Print

At the outset. I would like to inform you categorically that for the present the scheme will not be applied to exporters. OSPCA will be implemented in a phased manner beginning only with importers who avail the Accredited Clients Programme (ACP). Other categories of importers would be covered in subsequent phases but even then, taking into account administrative costs of conducting OSPCA and the nature and size of the business It is not intended to cover all importers and the present Custom House Audit shall continue side-by-side with OSPCA I may add that OSPCA would require an effective Risk Management System (RMS) as an essential prerequisite, which is so far not even introduced on the export side.
