With a view to achieve this objective, certain key areas, which require immediate attention, have been identified and the following instructions/ guidelines are being hereby issued so as to smoothen the process of Faceless Assessment by the field formations. a) Re-assessment in accordance with the Principles of Natural Justice: Despite several Board instructions on the issue, it has been observed that many a times the importers are not being afforded an opportunity of being heard before re-assessment of the goods. Such a practice is not in conformity with the provisions of law and needs to be accordingly discontinued, forthwith. It is emphasised that the process of re-assessment must be in accordance with the provisions of Sub Sections (4) and (5) of Section 17 of Customs Act, 1962 . In order to lend clarity and streamline this process, the procedure to be adopted by the FAGs for carrying out re-assessment, wherever required, is delineated as follows: i. During verification of the assessment, if there are reasons to believe that the self-assessment is not do .....

Therefore, it is important that the importers/Customs Brokers are advised to give the complete description of the imported goods while filing the Bill of Entry, in the first instance. In this context, the attention of the importers/Customs Brokers may be drawn to the following fields that are available in the electronic Bill of Entry format: i. Generic Description : The description in generic text relevant to text provided in the duty exemption notification that is claimed/Anti-Dumping (ADD)/IGST levy, as applicable. ii. Specific Description: The description specific to the product and as given in the invoice, trade name or specific product details to be provided (Brand name or model details may be avoided-same needs to be provided separately). iii. Model and Brand Name: Model details and Brand Name may be provided and if the imported goods are unbranded, the text UNBRANDED may be used. iv. Supplier and Manufacturer Details : In cases where duty applicability is based on manufacturers such as Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD), Safeguard Duty (SD) etc, the details of manufacturer may be provided. In case of products ..... X X X X Extracts X X X X X X X X Extracts X X X X ..... icers. All Bills of Entry with an assessable value of up to ₹ 5 lakh shall be accordingly finally assessed only by the Appraising Officers, w.e.f 21.12.2020. However, the re-assessments of Bills of Entry would continue to be done with the approval of the Assistant/Deputy Commissioner, as is the present practice. In order to assess the impact of this change, the Board has also decided that 10% of the Bills of Entry that are now entrusted to the Appraising Officers would be subjected to transactional PCA. A fortnightly report on the outcome of the transactional PCA would be submitted to Joint Secretary (Customs), CBIC with first report being due on 05.01.2021.The Pr. Commissioners/Commissioners concerned would also monitor the outcome of this change and immediately inform the Board, if any correction is required. e) Assessments in respect of Liquid Bulk Cargo : The Board has also received representations in respect of delays in the assessment of liquid bulk cargo. One common refrain of the trade here is the unnecessary resort to the First Check System of assessment, in such cases. With respect to import of 'liquid bulk cargo', it is stated that the assessments ar .....
