Instruction No. 12/2024-Customs, dated 01-05-2024, addresses the review of the necessity of G-Card holders at Customs stations and the conduct of G-Card examinations as per Regulation 13 of CBLR, 2018. Regulation 13 allows Customs Brokers to employ individuals based on business volume, requiring them to pass an exam for a Form-G or Form-H identity card. To ensure consistency, annual reviews of G-Card requirements will be conducted by Principal Chief Commissioners or Chief Commissioners in Customs Clearance Facilitation Committee meetings, with outcomes discussed in Customs Consultative Group meetings. This aims to streamline G-Card examination practices and ensure trained personnel for efficient EXIM consignment clearance. Any implementation challenges should be reported to the Board.
