The RMS output will determine the movement/ routing of Shipping Bills in ICES. The Shipping Bill may be sent for Assessment and Examination, Assessment only or Examination only depending upon the interdictions by the RMS tools. If a bill is not interdicted by any of the RMS tools, such facilitated bill will move directly to goods registration after payment of export duty/ cess (if any). All the Shipping Bills have to undergo goods registration before giving LEO. The LEO can be given only after verifying the compliance with the applicable Compulsory Compliance Requirements (CCRs). The system is designed in such a manner that, owing to some technical reasons if the RMS (Export) fails to provide Output to ICES (Export) or RMS Output is not received at ICES (Export) end in time, the existing norms of assessment and examination prescribed in the Board's Circular Nos. 06/2002 - Customs dated 23.01.2002, 01 /2009-cus dated 13.01.2009, and 28/2012-Customs dated 16.11.2012 would be applicable.

When a SB is routed for assessment, the Appraising Officer after completion of his scrutiny of RMS instructions and SB declaration shall write a self contained order for examination so as to cover all the critical parameters of examination ( as identified by the RMS instructions). (iii) Amendments: The officers handling amendments should note that any amendment would lead to a change in risk perception and consequent treatment of risk by RMS. The RMS will process the SB after every amendment and provide its Output to ICES. However, the treatment of risk after the amendment(s) will be communicated in ICES only after goods registration. There may be some cases wherein the on submission treatment of risk is to send the SB for examination only and after amendment(s) the risk treatment would get modified to send the SB for Assessment or Assessment Examination . In Such cases RMS instructions to Send the SB back to AC for assessment will be displayed in the Inspector' .....

The LEO Officer will exercise the last check before the goods are given clearance for exportation. Therefore the LEO officer shall scrutinize the declarations in documents like AR4/ARE1 ??? vis-a-vis the declarations in the SB and if he/she has strong reasons to believe that the exporter has mis-declared the description, RITC or value of the goods, he/she should send the SB back to the appraising group (if required), for assessment but only after prior approval of the Commissioner or an officer authorised by him for this purpose, who shall not be below the rank of Additional/Joint Commissioner of Customs and after recording the reasons for the same. A brief remark on the reasons and particulars of Commissioner's authorization shall be made by the officer examining the goods in the departmental comments in .....

However, under extraordinary circumstances or on the request of the Exporter/CHA, the AC/DC in-charge shall take written approval of the Commissioner or an officer not below the rank of Additional/Joint Commissioner authorized by him before recalling a SB and the details of the same shall be recorded as departmental comments. (ix) Documents Collection: While discharging the LEO responsibility, the following documents should be collected from the exporter/ CHA by the officer giving LEO after affixing his/ her signature on the following documents; a) Copy of the Shipping Bill b) AR-4/ ARE- 1 (wherever applicable). c) Invoice/packing list d) ADC clearance, wherever required. e) Other documents specified in the CCR instructions. f) .. g) RBI GR waiver, wherever applicable. h) i) Any other documents submitted by the exporter/CHA.

Record of samples shall be maintained in the System. Therefore, no separate registers will need to be maintained for recording dates of samples drawn. Three copies of the test memo will be prepared manually and signed by the Examining Officer, the Appraiser and the exporter. The disposal of the three copies would be as follows: i. Original to be sent along with the sample to the testing agency. ii. Duplicate copy to be retained by ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... the system. Where the print out of the S/B has already been generated, the exporter will surrender all copies of the Shipping Bill to the Appraiser for cancellation before amendment is approved in the system. 15. SHORT SHIPMENTS, SHUT OUT, CANCELLATION AND BACK TO TOWN PERMISSIONS 15.1 AC/DC(Export) will give permission for issue of short shipment certificate shut out or cancellation of S/B, on the basis of an application made by the exporter. The S/B particulars would need to be cancelled / modified in the system before granting such permission. AC/DC would check the status of the goods, before granting permission. 16. AMENDMENT OF FREIGHT AMOUNT 16.1 If the freight/insurance amount undergoes a change before Let Export is given, corresponding changes would also need to be made in the S/B with the approval of AC [DC Exports. But if the change has taken place after the Let Export order, approval of Additional/Jt. Commissioner would be required. Non- intimation of such changes would amount to mis-declaration and may attract penal action under the Customs Act, 1962 17.

There is no need for filing separate drawback claim. The status of the Shipping Bill and sanction of drawback claim can be ascertained from the Enquiry Counter' set up at the Service Centre or remote system though ICEGATE. If any query has been raised or deficiency noticed, the same will be shown on the terminal and a printout of the query/deficiency may be obtained by the authorized person or the exporter from the Service Centre or in his own office, if the exporter is registered with ICEGATE. The exporters are advised to reply to such queries expeditiously through the service centre. The claim comes in queue of the EDI system only after the reply to queries/deficiencies is entered in the ICES 1.5. 20.7 Shipping Bills in respect of goods under claim for drawback against brand rates would also be pro .....

For the alternative AIRS relevant tariff item has to be suffixed with suffix 'C' or suffix 'D' for the situation when Cenvat facility? has not been availed or when Cenvat facility? has been availed, respectively, instead of the Usual suffix 'A' or suffix 'B'. In the option to claim Brand Rate of duty drawback in terms of rule 7 of the Drawback Rules 1995 with the Special Advance Authorization, the procedure in Annexure 1 with Circular No. 29/201 5-Cus dated 16.11.2015 has relevance. However, the exporter shall have to declare the figure '9807' as identifier (in the shipping bill under the Drawback details) followed by the tariff item number of the goods as shown in column (1) of the Schedule and followed by the character 'D'. Based on this, the shipping bill shall be processed for payment of provisional drawback amount equivalent to the Customs portion of these alternative AIRs. iii).

As, the exports under EPCG can be started only after issuance of license, the DGFT would transmit the License messages immediately on issuance of licenses under DES and EPCG scheme. The licenses under above mentioned schemes issued by DGFT would be received online by Customs. Such licenses would be subjected to the prescribed online validation checks at ICEGATE and thereafter, the same would be available for use by the exporters at the port of registration for imports. Details of such licenses would also be available on the home page of websitewww.icegate.gov.in. As mentioned above, exports under DES can be started immediately after receipt of file number message from DGFT by quoting the relevant File Number allocated by DGFT on the export documents.
