For Bills of Entry pertaining to Group VII, the date of implementation will be informed in due course. 3. The objective of the RMS is to strike an optimal balance between facilitation and enforcement and to enable low risk consignments to be cleared based on the acceptance of the importer s self assessment and without examination. 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 B/Es in order to ensure that the resources of the department are utilized more effectively. 4.
