Central Government being satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest to do so, hereby makes the following further amendments in the notification of the Government of India in the Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue), No. 21/2002-Customs, dated the 1st March, 2002, namely.
The Board has felt the need to train the officers engaged in the work of assessment, examination etc. so that they can efficiently deal with the situations arising in the day today work relating to clearance of goods. The concerned officers at implementation level need to know about the various legal provisions as amended from time to time.
It has been brought to the notice of the Board that presently the containers which are subjected to Green Channel facility are also moved to the Customs area from Ports for the purpose of examination. It has been suggested that importers should be allowed to clear the Green Channel containers directly from the ports without transhipping the same to the Customs area.
The Board is considering to give impetus to the electronic filing of documents specially to those Custom House Agents, Exporters and Importers who clear goods themselves. The filing of documents through ICEGATE needs to be encouraged to those who have significant workload in terms of number of documents to be filed. The Indian Customs is gearing up to accept the global challenge and expected to be fully computerized in a few years and hence there is need to move forward towards e-filing progressively.
It has been brought to the notice of Board that significant time is taken by the importers for payment of duty after the Bill of Entry is assessed. This increases overall dwell time for cargo clearance as well as straining our infrastructure at customs ports. As a step to reduce the time gap between assessment and payment of duty, the Board has decided to introduce a system of disincentive.
I am directed to invite your attention to Board’s Circular No. 110/2003-Cus, dated 22.12.2003 and Ministry’s letter issued vide F.No.450/108/2004-CUS-IV dated 31.12.04. The intention of these prevailing instructions is to ensure that that the filing of import manifest is not unnecessarily delayed.

I am directed to invite your attention to para (xi) of the Circular No. 54/2004-Cus dated 13th October, 2004 regarding other provisions of the FTP relating to EOU and Gem and Jewellery Schemes.

The undersigned is directed to invite your attention to the above mentioned subject and to say that a doubt has been raised as to whether 2% Education Cess needs to be factored in Brand Rates and Special Brand Rates of duty drawback determined under Rule 6 and Rule 7 of the Customs & Central Excise Duties Drawback Rules, 1995.
(3) that if the importer does not claim exemption from the additional duty leviable under section 3 of the Customs Tariff Act, 1975, the additional duty so paid by him shall not be taken for computation of the net duty saved for the purpose of fixation of export obligation provided the Cenvat credit of additional duty paid has not been taken
