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.
