To
All Pr. Chief Commissioners of Customs / Chief Commissioners of Customs/
Customs (Preventive)/ Customs and Central Excise.
All Pr. Commissioners/
Commissioners of Customs / Customs (Preventive)/ Customs and central Excise
Madam/ Sir,
Subject: Extending eSANCHIT application on all EDI locations: reg.
Kind attention is invited to
circular 40/2017-Customs dated 13th October,
2017 on pilot implementation of application for uploading of supporting
documents electronically i.e. eSANCHIT at ACC, New Delhi and Chennai Customs
House. Subsequently, eSANCHIT was further extended to 1CD Tughlaqabad, ACC
Sahar, JNCH, Nhava Sheva. Mumbai and other major Customs Houses across the
country.
2. Now, based on the reports and feedback received so far, it
has been decided to extend eSANCHIT to all EDI locations on a voluntary basis.
Though this facility would be provided to trade on a voluntary basis, it must be
ensured, in preparation for making this facility mandatory, that every Customs
broker and self-filer (all ICEGATE users) develops the capability to use
eSANCHIT as envisaged in Customs circular 40/2017. Outreach programs may be
carried out for Customs Brokers who have not yet started using eSANCHIT, keeping
in view that such brokers may not be able to file Bills of Entry on ICEGATE once
the facility is made mandatory. All Chief Commissioners are requested to
regularly monitor the levels of usage of eSANCHIT.
3. Therefore, you are
requested to issue Public Notices by 9th February, 2018, notifying the
availability of this facility to trade on a voluntary basis. Step by step
procedure to upload supporting documents with digital signatures at eSANCHIT and
a list of FAQs is already published at haps://www.icegate.gov.in/eSANCHIT.html
on ICEGATE website.
4. Further, problems/queries, if any, faced during
the functioning of this facility may be addressed by email to
[email protected] and [email protected]. References in hard copy may be
sent to Commissioner (Single Window), 5th Floor, Hudco Vishala Building, B–Wing,
Bhikaji Cama Place. R.K Puram, New Delhi– 110066.
