Attention of all concerned is invited to Circular No. 40 /2017-Customs dated 13.10.2017 on pilot implementation of application for uploading of supporting documents electronically i.e. eSANCHlT. 2. Based on the reports and feedback received to the Board so far, it has been decided to extend eSANCHllT to all EDI locations on a voluntary basis.

Outreach programs may be carried out for Customs brokers who have not yet started using eSANCHlT, keeping in view that such brokers may not be able to file Bills of Entry on ICEGATE once the facility is made mandatory. 3.
