Digital signature requirement mandates electronic filing of customs documents by importers, exporters and brokers, replacing physical signatures. The circular mandates digital signature authentication for electronic submission of core customs documents by importers, exporters, customs brokers, shipping lines and airlines; where documents are digitally signed, customs will not require physical signatures. Accredited Client Programme registrants already faced digital-signature requirements for Bills of Entry, and the circular expands mandatory electronic filing while allowing individual importers or exporters the option to file certain declarations without a digital signature. Chief Commissioners are directed to instruct staff, publicize the change, and report implementation difficulties to the Board.
