Bill of Entry can be filed in advance. However Customs duty can be deposited after generation of Bill of Entry and its' assessment by the Appraiser. Since, 2011 Self Assessment is in practice. You can pay customs duty against the bill of entry as reflected in ICEGATE, online.

I agree with the views of the expert, Bill of Entry is the assessment of import duty by the customs officer. Only basis Bill of Entry the import duty should be paid.
