Customs - EDI Doesn't receive Replies to Queries
IN a recent meeting of the Trade Facilitation Committee in JN Customs, it was informed by the Trade that the EDI section doesn't receive, reply to the query raised by Groups in the process of assessment, without initials of Group AO and Group DC/AC, for updation in the system. Though it is done for submission of adequate reply to the query raised, it amounts to undue delay in assessment of live Bills of Entry.
The Commissioner directed EDI section to receive reply of query raised in the process of assessment from the Importer/CB of the Importer for updation in the system without insisting upon signature of Group AO and Group DC/AC. In case the reply is not adequate/query not satisfied, the Group may raise further queries.
