Clearance of goods after registration - CBEC's Customs Manual 2023 - Customs

4. Clearance of goods after registration: 4.1 Earlier, on every Bill of Entry filed for clearance of goods under the Project Import Scheme, the importer/Customs Broker was required to indicate the Project Contract Registration Number allotted to it. After noting, the Bill of Entry was sent to the Project import Group, which was required to check the description, value and quantity of the goods imported vis-a-vis the description, value and quantity registered. In case these particulars were found in order, the Bill of Entry was assessed provisionally and handed over to the importer or his agent for payment of duty. The Project Import Group kept a note of the description of the goods and their value in the Project Contract Register and in the file maintained in the Group for each project. 4.2 Roll out of Project Import Module in ICES: To overcome the difficulties faced due to manual processing, Project Imports module has been developed in ICES.
