Customs Clearing Procedure
Clearing imported materials from Indian customs involves several mandatory procedures to ensure compliance with the country's regulations. First, the importer must obtain an Importer Exporter Code (IEC) from the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT). This code is essential for any import/export activity. Next, the Bill of Entry, a legal document, must be filed electronically with the Indian Customs department. This document contains detailed information about the imported goods, including their description, quantity, and value, and is used for the assessment of duties and taxes.
In addition to these steps, the importer must ensure that all necessary supporting documents, such as the commercial invoice, packing list, and bill of lading or airway bill, are in order and submitted along with the Bill of Entry. Compliance with other statutory requirements, such as obtaining licenses or permits for restricted goods, paying applicable customs duties, and ensuring the goods meet any relevant standards and regulations, is also crucial. Once these procedures are completed and all dues are paid, the Customs department will clear the goods, allowing them to be transported to their final destination within India. Ensuring thorough documentation and adherence to regulatory requirements is key to a smooth customs clearance process
