EDI Bills of Entry - reg.
Attention of the Trade including Importers and Custom House Agents is drawn to the fact that the EDI Bills of Entry have to be reassessed on the EDI System in all the cases of amendments including amendments not having any revenue implications (For eg. Amendments in the Bill of Lading No. , Invoice No., Container No. Licence No. etc).

Recently, it has come to notice that this procedure is prone to misuse wherein the importer/CHA may, when substantial interest accumulation has taken place, approach the Group for re-assessment on frivolous grounds like substitution of SIL, etc which leads to deletion of accumulated interest amount from the revised TR-6 generated after re-assessment of the Bill of Entry leading to revenue loss.

Hence, it is requested that in all the cases where the amendment of the details on the EDI Bill of Entry does not lead to any change in the duty amount initially assessed on the EDI Bill of Entry, the interest amounts already accumulated till the date of reassessment of the EDI Bills of Entry, will be collected from the importer/CHA manually in the Cash Department against the suitable TR-6 challan.

The re-assessment in such cases will be done on the EDI System only after the payment towards the already accumulated interest amounts – as mentioned in the preceding para – has been made by the importer/CHA and evidence thereof will be submitted by the importer/CHA to the concerned Group for records.
