In view of the above, till further directions, it has been decided that the Customs Officials in DPD/RMS facilitation Centre and CFSs under JNCH should follow e-Sanchit procedure stated in the Public Notice No.162/2017 dated 29.12.2017 and to register Bill of Entries on presentation of only hard copy of examination order and give Out of Charge after scrutiny and check of uploaded documents under e-sanchit. However, in cases, where supporting documents like Country of Origin Certificate etc. are required to be presented in original for verification and/or debiting, trade should present hard copies at the time of examination of the goods at CFSs or registration at RMS facilitation centre for obtaining Out of Charge. The trade must upload digitally all the document including those that has to be presented in original hard copy. Further for supporting documents, where a debit of quantity/value is required to be made on the hard copy for every subsequent bill of entry filed for import, the latest debit sheet should be uploaded.
