Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • This gazette notification, No. 60/2024-Customs (N.T.), dated September 12, 2024, amends the Courier Imports and Exports (Electronic Declaration and Processing) Regulations, 2010. The amendment clarifies the application of electronic declaration requirements for goods exported under various export promotion schemes.

Key Changes

  • Regulation 2(a) is amended to redefine the scope of 'import or export of goods' under any export promotion scheme, excluding those under RoDTEP and RoSCTL schemes mentioned in Chapter 4 of the Foreign Trade Policy 2023 and similar schemes in Chapter 6 of the Foreign Trade Policies 2009-14, 2015-20, or 2023.
  • Regulation 6(b)(i) adds an exception to the general rule, stating that the electronic declaration requirements do not apply to exports under RoDTEP or RoSCTL schemes.
  • Regulation 6(b)(ii)(A) removes the reference to goods notified in Appendix 3C of the Foreign Trade Policy (2015-20) for export under the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS).
  • Regulation 6(b)(ii)(B) adds a proviso stating that for exports under RoDTEP or RoSCTL schemes, the authorized courier or agent must make the entry of goods for export in the electronic integrated declaration as per the Shipping Bill (Electronic Integrated Declaration and Paperless Processing) Regulations, 2019.

Impact Analysis

Impact on Couriers

  • For exports under RoDTEP and RoSCTL schemes, couriers or their agents who have passed the examination in regulation 6 or 13 of the Customs Brokers Licensing Regulations, 2018, will have to use the electronic integrated declaration system.

Impact on Exporters

  • Exporters previously using the MEIS scheme and relying on the old Appendix 3C will need to adjust their processes.

Impact on Customs Authorities

  • Customs authorities will need to enforce the amended regulations and ensure that all electronic declarations comply with the updated requirements. This may involve providing guidance and support to couriers and exporters.

Suggested Action Items

  • Monitor compliance and take appropriate action against non-compliance.
