OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS (EP) NEW CUSTOM HOUSE, BALLARD ESTATE, MUMBAI 400001 F. NO. S/16-Misc-127/2011 Gr.VII Admn. Date : 28.06.2011 PUBLIC NOTICE NO. 49/2011 Sub : Implementation of Risk Management System of imports to non ACPs under the 100% EOU Scheme-Reg. Attention of the importers, trade and their agents is drawn to Public Notice No. 18/2009 dated 26.03.2009 issued from F.No. SG/Misc-25/DC/2008 SIIB (I) by Commissioner of Customs (Export Promotion), Mumbai. A review of implementation of Risk Management System for imports under 100% Scheme( Notification of 52/2003 Cus dated 31.03.2003 as amended) conducted by the Director General (Systems Data Management) , CBEC, indicated that RMS made applicable to ACPs is functioning satisfactorily and the general compliance level for the imports made by non-Accredited clients, under the same scheme, is adequate. It is therefore decided to extend RMS, to non ACPs under the 100% EOU Scheme. 2. As per Board circular No.932/22/2010 CX dated 04.08.2010 ( DGEP letter dated 18.05.2010) the administrative control over EOUs, even in the port cities, is now with Central Excise formations. In this changed scenario, after 31.07.2010, all B-17 bonds ought to have been executed by EOUs before jurisdictional Central Excise authorities only. Presently there would not be any case where EOU Bond( in form B-17) is executed in Custom Houses. That being the case, at the time of filing the Bill of Entry, only the details of procurement certificate (PC) received from C.Excise Authorities has to be keyed in. The goods imported by EOU have to be cleared only on the strength of the PC and the movement of such goods from the port of clearance to the factory premises shall be covered under the said PC. 3. Since all the Bills of Entry pertaining to 100% EOU will now be facilitated, except in the cases where the bills are hit by any interdictions, the same will directly go to Shed Appraisers/Supdt. for Out of Charge(OOC). Before going to the shed for OOC, the CHA/Importer shall present the B/E to the Supdt. in the EOU Section along with the PC in the sealed cover. The Supdt. shall open the sealed cover and enter the particulars of the same in the PC register maintained for the same. After tallying the PC with the Bill of entry and completing the Transit Allowed (TA) procedure, the details of the TA No. and Bill of Entry No. will be entered in the PC and a letter to the jurisdictional C.Excise authorities intimating the despatch will be sent. Thereafter the CHA/Importer will present the Bill of entry to the shed officer who will tally the particulars of PC with the Bill of Entry and if in order, will duly debit/deface the same and comply with CCR-Examination instructions, before granting OOC. 4. RMS shall be made applicable to non-ACPs under 100% EOU Scheme from 01.07.2011. Sd/- (S.L. MEENA) COMMISSIONER OF CUSTOMS (EP)
