Import customs clearance procedures Posted on 08 April 2023 Category : Import India The information provided here is part of Import Export online Training Import customs clearance procedures in India Update: April, 2017: Reduced free period for filing BE and paying Import Duty Amendment of Sec 46 and Sec 47 of Indian Customs Act How to clear imported goods? Step by Step procedures under import customs clearance formalities in India. I hope this article about import customs clearance procedures and formalities in India helps importers in India and abroad to learn about import customs clearance procedures. In this article you will learn step by step procedures and formalities on import customs clearance which includes - filing of import documents electronically, Bill of Entry, IGM and Line number, Documentation in import clearance, Examination procedures of imported goods, value appraisement / assessment procedures under import clearance, Import Pass Out procedures, Delivery order by carrier etc. Either you (importer) or your customs broker can file the necessary documents for import clearance procedures. Before arrival of your goods, you can keep ready of all pertaining documents required for import clearance. The major documents required are Bill of Lading or Airway bill, commercial invoice, packing list, Cargo Arrival Notice, Freight certificate, purchase order or LC and other specific documents for your goods. You need to track the shipment of arrival properly to avoid. Because you need to customs clear the cargo as early as possible on arrival of shipment. Otherwise, you need to pay demurrage to the import handling authorities. Normally, a limited number of days of two or three are allowed by import handling authorities as free of cost time duration. You can complete the customs formalities within this time normally, subjected to produce of all required documents with customs. You can arrange to keep soft copy of check list of Bill of Entry ready before arrival of goods. You or your customs house agent may have the software to file Bill of Entry at office or home. If you do not have such facility, you can approach private EDI (Electronic Data Information) service providers who can arrange to submit the data on behalf of you. Once the cargo arrives in port, carrier of goods files Import General Manifest (IGM) with customs department. IGM is the details of import of goods to be filed with customs mandatory, by all carriers once goods arrived. Normally, each aircraft or vessel has one IGM number and each of consignments carries ‘line numbers’. So, each shipment carries a ‘line number’ and the total load of the said vessel or aircraft has an IGM number. Here, you will have one IGM number (common for one lot of goods arrived) and a ‘liner number’ for your particular shipment. You need to enter this numbers in the specified column of Bill of Entry while filing. This number will be automatically linked with your document while filing uploading the bill of entry details with customs web software. The Bill of Entry number is generated at one place for all over the ports of country as per software queue automatically. If your goods are under green channel clearance, you can directly take delivery of cargo with simple procedures at port. You may get bill of entry number, once after filing the required soft data of bill of entry application. You need not go physically with customs department to get the same, as I have already explained. Generating Bill of Entry number means the number of bill of entry allotted by customs on filing as per serial order. So the said bill of entry details will be in queue in soft system of concerned customs officer who process the bill for import clearance. If all information are in order with proper documentation, he approves and pass over for inspection of cargo by software. Of if he requires more documents or further clarification; the same ‘query’ will be mentioned in the software system. You or your customs broker can view the status of bill of entry online whether any ‘query’ is there and blocked the process or already ‘passed’ over to next procedures. If any ‘query’ for further documentation or personal meeting, you can follow the same. The importer or his agent may be called for personal hearing for any clarification required by customs officials under certain types of goods imported where in customs requires more clarification. Once the bill of entry assessment completed by customs official, the document pass over for inspection procedures as explained. You or your customs broker arranges examination of goods by ‘goods registration’ electronically at customs department software system. The inspection is carried out under the supervision of necessary customs officials and enters examination report in the system. Once approving the inspection report by concerned officer, bill is ‘passed out of customs’ for delivery, if no duty amount is involved. If duty involved, you can arrange to pay the same and produce with the deputed customs officials. The customs department updates the duty amount and ‘pass out’ order is generated by software. If you pay customs duty online with the electronic arrangements of customs, the details of import duty paid is reflected in customs website within a specified period of time of deposit. This facility introduced recently helps importers minimize the formalities to pay customs import duty. Prints of processed bill of entry are generated and customs officer signs physically on the said bill of entry. You can arrange delivery of cargo once after submitting the bill of entry of ‘passed out of customs’ with the carrier of goods. The carrier, after collecting necessary charges if any, issued delivery order to the custodian of cargo. The custodian of cargo delivers cargo to you or your authorized customs broker. You move the cargo to your place.

I have attached copy of the invoice for you to have a look at it and see if we can make sense. Questions: 1) Can the goods be shipped directly from India to the UK even though in the invoice there is a location (Port of Discharge) different from the final destination (UK) and, consequently entering the UK, without going through Custom controls (due to the facts that on papers it has already entered the EEC and consequently cleared EEC customs). 2) Why, if not done as explained above in 1; clearing Customs at Vienna, pay extra charges due to longer detour. It beats me, I can’t understand the logic or reasoning behind it all. Why not going directly to the Final Destination ? Is this a done thing sometime to circumnavigate the custom controls by not paying Duties and Taxes ? Could there be a logical explanation as to why of this ?? I will really appreciate your experienced view on this as a matter of curiosity and knowledge on how things work in the world of freights.

We deals mostly in wholesale business of Precious, Semi Precious Gemstones and Jewellery from last two decades. We supply our gems to whole Indian market including Jaipur, Delhi, Kolkata etc.. Now, as a part of business expansion we are interested to import coloured precious gemstones including cut/polished gems from Sri Lanka on regular interval of 30-45 days. We will be travelling to Sri Lanka for the purchase. After paying the custom duty (some percentage) they will release the shipment to us for flying back to India. So, eventually we can fly back to Chennai or Delhi with the shipment. We will not be in the process for Cargo shipment. We will be carrying our own shipment. However, we are not clear with any of the rules of importing gems in India. Can you guide us. How we will declare our shipment to customs at Chennai, Airport? Someone has suggested that please do not declare that you are carrying commercial shipment while flying back to country. However, this seems illegal. Even, in longer period of time there may be chances of govt. issues. We tried contacting the GJEPC, Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council for this. But no avail. Request you to please help for this.
