This circular outlines the digitization of Customs Bonded Warehouse procedures on ICEGATE, enabling online filing for warehouse licensing, bond-to-bond movement of warehoused goods, and uploading monthly returns. Key aspects include an online application process for warehouse licenses, with designated port codes for handling applications; online requests for transferring warehoused goods between persons/warehouses, involving validation of bonds, ownership changes, and officer approvals; and uploading scanned monthly returns initially, with webform filing planned later. It emphasizes user manuals, grievance redressal mechanisms, and directs Chief Commissioners to issue public notices and assist trade members in onboarding the new system. The circular aims to facilitate ease of doing business while ensuring compliance through digitized processes.
