Kind attention is also 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 ICD Tughlaqabad, ACC Sahar, JNCH, Nhava Sheva. Mumbai and other major Customs Houses across the country. 3. 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 will 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. 4. Step by step procedure to upload supporting documents with digital signatures at eSANCHIT and a list of FAQs is already published at https: //www.icegate.gov.in/eSANCHIT.html on ICEGATE website. 5. Difficulties faced if any, may be brought to the notice of this office. (PARAG CHAKOR BROKAR) COMMISSIONER
