New Procedure for Filing Import Manifests: Registration, Bond, and Bank Guarantee Required for Authorized Entities.
The circular issued by the Ministry of Finance, Department of Revenue, outlines the procedures for filing an Import Manifest before the arrival of vessels or aircraft. It specifies that authorized entities such as multi-modal operators and freight forwarders can file import manifests. Amendments to the Import Manifest Regulations require these entities to register with Customs, supported by a bond and bank guarantee. The manifest must be filed electronically where applicable, with specific timelines based on the voyage or flight duration. The circular also advises leniency for recent non-compliance due to ongoing procedural discussions and mandates software updates to facilitate the process.
