The Customs department will begin a standardised
risk-based faceless assessment system across the country for clearance of
imported consignments in phases starting with metal, from September 5. This
would promote ease of doing business as it would bring uniformity in customs
examination, and reduce the time taken for clearing consignments. The Central
Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs (CBIC) in a circular to field offices said
the National Customs Targeting Centre (NCTC) has developed system generated
centralized examination orders for Bills of Entry (BoE), based on various
parameters, and this will be rolled out in phases.
