Notification No 33/2019-Cus (NT) dated 25.04.2019 vide which the
Shipping Bill (Electronic Integrated Declaration and Paperless Processing)
Regulations 2019 were notified. Regulation 3 of the said regulations states that
the authorised person shall enter the electronic integrated declaration and
upload the supporting documents on the ICEGATE either by affixing his digital
signature or by availing the services at the service centre. The electronic
integrated declaration is to be made in the electronic form provided at the
website https://www.icegate.gov.in.
2. In this regard, as is the endeavor of
the Government of India to boost domestic manufacturing and promote exports,
Board has decided to incorporate additional attributes in the Shipping Bill to
enable the Customs System to capture the Districts and States of Origin for
goods being exported. The initiative is also aimed at bringing uniformity with
the data/ information captured in the Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN).
3. Accordingly, with effect from 15.02.2020, apart from the data/ information
required to be furnished in the present electronic form of electronic integrated
declaration mentioned in Regulation 3 of Shipping Bill (Electronic Integrated
Declaration and Paperless Processing) Regulations 2019 , the following
additional information will be required to be furnished for every item in the
Shipping Bill :-
(i) The State of Origin of goods.
(ii) District of Origin of goods.
(iii) Details of Preferential
Agreements under which the goods are being exported, wherever applicable.
(iv) Standard Unit Quantity Code (SQC) for that CTH as per the first schedule of
the Customs Tariff Act, 1975.
4. Further, certain cases have been reported
where the importer or exporter did not declare their GSTIN in the Bill of
Entry/Shipping Bill despite being registered with GSTN. With effect from
15.02.2020, the declaration of GSTIN shall also be mandatory in import/export
documents for the importers and exporters registered as GST taxpayers.
5. DG
(Systems) would be issuing a detailed advisory giving further details of the
fields in the Shipping Bill where the above information will have to be
provided. Suitable Trade Notice/Standing order may please be issued to guide the
trade and industry. Difficulty, if any, faced in implementation may be brought
to the notice of Board immediately.
