This will enable the department to enhance the level of facilitation and speed up the process of cargo clearance without compromising the interests of revenue. With the introduction of the RMS, the present practice of routine assessment, concurrent audit and examination of almost all Bills of Entry will be discontinued and the focus will be on quality assessment, examination and Post Clearance Audit of the selected bills in order that the resources of the department are utilized more effectively. 4 RMS mechanism: The purpose of RMS is to facilitate a large number of Bills of entry, which are perceived to be compliant with the Customs Laws and Regulations.

Soon after filing a Bill of entry in the ICES by the accredited client, the system will generate the Bill of entry Number and print a copy of the Bill with the TR6 challan for duty payment. The Importer/CHA shall proceed to the bank for duty payment (if any) before proceeding to take out of charge for the goods. Though self assessment facility is given to the ACP importers and examination waiver is also given to them, the compulsory compliance requirements (CCRs), for the import of goods must be fulfilled by the importer/CHA before seeking out of charge.

For expeditious clearance of goods, it is necessary that the importer /CHA is equipped to comply with all the bond-related requirements before filing the BE and relevant details are given in the annexure filed at ICEGATE/Service centre to avoid any undue delays. 8.

The officers will scrutinize the on screen data and may also look at the documents submitted by the Importer/CHA at the time of out of charge. The demand note on account of any short levy will be raised by the PCA section with the prior approval of the Additional/Joint Commissioner (Audit). Barring cases requiring detailed investigation, in all cases the department will issue a consultative letter to the importer where a potential short levy is discovered during audit. The consultative letter will set out the grounds for the auditor s view in the matter and seek the importer s response thereto. In the event, the department s view is acceptable to the importer; he may pay the duty difference voluntarily. In case there is no agreement, the formal processes of demand notices, adjudication etc., would follow. Undue delay in responding to the Consultative Letter may lead to nonfacilitation (in any case within 30 days). 14. DATA Quality: The RMS is designed in a manner whereby Importers/CHAs giving proper data in the BE filed will be facilitated.
