All the Bills of Entry which are appraised by the System would be audited before being given out of charge. In so far as the NMI/DEC cases (e.g. Custom Notification Nos. 051/96 dated 23.07.96, 39/96 dated 23.07.96) are concerned, the debiting in the Licence etc. would be required to be done by the Appraiser/Superintendent in the Import Shed. Examination of such goods would be carried out as per prescribed norms. The system appraisal Scheme is a Notification based Scheme and not description based. If the Appraising Officer (Audit) finds that the Bill of Entry is not fit to be cleared under System Appraisal Scheme he may forward the Bill of Entry back for regular assessment. For this the role of SAA has to be assigned separately to one of the shed supdt/shed Appraiser 4.2 Second Check Appraisement The electronic B/E will be assessed on the basis of the claims made in Annexure C .

(ii) The TRAs issued by the non-EDI locations and non centralized locations will be registered in the same manner as license registration. On registration of TRA against a DEPB, the system will generate a TRA registration number. This Registration Number should be endorsed on the Importer s copy of TRA (original) and the Customs copy received from the issuing Customs station. Only fresh RAs will be registered in the EDI System. Partially utilized RAs will continue to be handled manually. Following particulars shall be entered in the System through the menu relating to transfer release advice.

(iii) For indicating the option of payment of Additional Duty (equal to Excise Duty) or claiming exemption there from, the option shall be exercised by indicating Y or N in column 2 of Sl.No.39E. The column number 5 (serial number of item in the licence list) and 7 (quantity for licence debit) are not required to be filled in for DEPB Bs/E. (iv) If the basic Customs duty and the additional Customs duty debitable to the licence is zero, the DEPB exemption will not be admissible to that item. System will not allow exemption under Notification 034/97 etc. for that item. 11.7 Check List of B/E After data entry, checklist will be printed as usual and given to the importers/CHAs for verifying the correctness of data captured. For identification against the respective item, (DEPB) and Notification 034/97 will appear. At the end of the check list, a statement of debits of EXPORT FOB (= import CIF) and duty sought to be debited, DEPB wise against an item S. No. of an invoice, will also be printed. The importers/CHAs should check the details of DEPB No. carefully to ensure that only that DEPB would be debited which he intended to do so. I .....

The CIF of the related items will be debited to export FOB in the DEPB. Where exemption from additional duty is not claimed, only basic duty will be debited. These debits will be made by the System in the DEPB Ledger. If more than one DEPB is utilized against an item only CIF amount to be debited against each DEPB should be indicated by the importers. The duty amount will be proportionately calculated by the System for debit in the DEPB. The importers therefore should ensure that sufficient balance in the duty credit amount and export FOB is available in the DEPB to cover amounts of both components, for debiting, failing which the system will not accept the declaration for B/E. In case the importer desires to utilize the DEPB for part of the quantity of an item in the invoice, he may split the quantity of that item and prepare the declaration accordingly. 11.11 Debiting of DEPB against Manual B/E (i) If a Bill of Entry is processed ma ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... rocessed, RA is issued, manual B/E is debited or reduction is made by amendments. To avoid any inconsistency and invalidity, the system will sum the value of all items and compare with the face value of the licence. If the sum is greater than face value of licence, the system will not permit registration. The value will always be CIF for imports and FOB in respect of exports. Where the value is in foreign currency it should be only one currency and not in multi-currency. The licence holders therefore, should check these details in their licences and ensure that the same are corrected before presenting the licence for registration. The licences with incorrect details will be rejected by the system and cannot be used for availing exemption from duty and clearance of goods. Such licences should be corrected from concerned DGFT office before presenting to Customs. (ii) The licences, which have already been partially utilized, will be registered in the system only for the balances available. (iii) After successful entry of details, a check list will be printed by registration clerk and given to the licence holder for confirming correctness of the data entered. Registration clerk w ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... inal documents to the proper officer. The officer will compare the details entered in the system with the original licence/TRA. After satisfying himself with correctness, will submit the licence in the system on the basis of the job number of the check list. The system will generate a licence Regn. No. This registration number and date should be endorsed in bold on the original licence/TRA. After registration, the documents may be returned to the Importer and copies thereof may be kept in the office file for record. TRA will be registered only on the basis of Customs copy of the TRA. After registration, Customs copy and importer s copy of TRA will be defaced by the Officer. 12.5 Issuing TRAs Transfer Release Advice will be issued for utilization of a licence at any other Customs station. No TRA needs to be issued for Customs location operating of ICES Version 1.5. TRA shall be issued only for ICES Version 1 locations or non-ICES location. All TRAs against the licences registered in the system shall only be generated from system. Details for obtaining Release Advice shall be furnished in the Format given at Annexure- D . Data entry will be done by the registration clerk. A .....

The system will give credit to quantity or value in the case of increase and will debit the quantity or value in the case of reduction. Therefore, only incremental or decremental quantity or value should be entered in respect of increase or reduction. Licence status code at the time of registration will be 0 . The licence if suspended or cancelled after registration, the officer shall amend the status code to 2 , 3 and 4 for cancellation, suspension and re-instatement respectively. 12.9 Filing of Bill of Entry (i) Licence Regn. No., Regn. Date details, value and the quantity should be furnished in respective column at S. No. 39.E of the Annexure C . (ii) Unit of measurement of qty. will be same as per the licence. In case the unit of measurement in the invoice is different than the one in the license, for the purpose of debit in the licence the qty should be converted in to same unit of measurement as in the licence.

The Appraiser will check the correctness of details of licence/Scheme etc. and also ensure that any amendments made in the licences/Schemes, subsequent to registration of licence, have also been entered in the system. If the Assessing officer is satisfied about the eligibility of exemption under related notification and the licence is otherwise valid to cover the goods in question, he may assess the B/E on system. The Assessing officer can remove the notification and deny the benefits of exemption. The debits of licence will automatically reverse when exemption notification is denied. The B/E after assessment will be audited by the Auditor and finally approved by the AC/DC. The procedure of assessment will be similar to DEPB imports. (iv) In respect of a manually assessed Bill of Entry details of value and quantity will be debited in the system by the Appraiser at the time of assessing a B/E a print of details of debit will be taken for records. 12.11 Printing of the Assessed B/E After assessment, the printout of assesse .....

Due to re-structuring of the notifications into a defined format the S.Nos. at which the goods/country/producer/exporter is appearing in the notification of the ministry may differ in the notification directory. Therefore, the directory may be carefully studied to identify the correct S.No. of the item and producer/export for applying the relevant rate of duty. The notification directory is available at www.cbec.gov.in and www.icegate .....
