Improper Bill of Entry assessment, Customs - Exim - SEZ

[JAYANTA BANDYOPADHYAY]

In 2016, foreign suppliers had effected 2 separate POs related shipment together and all messed up by filing a single Bill of Entry taking one supply. But due to clubbed packing both the items passed thru' customs and consumed. Now it is unearthed. Reopening Bill of Entry after 3 years will definitely cause a cognizable offence with penal proceedings. How to fix this as payment against one supply remains outstanding in absence of corresponding Bill of Entry. Kindly guide

You may take up this matter with Jurisdictional Commissioner of Customs to show your bona fide and willingness to pay the Customs Duties along with interest and 1% penalty. The customs department can issue a SCN for extended period of time i.e. 5 years. Therefore, if this matter has not been sorted out as yet, then, in our view you must got it sorted out in harmonious way.
