<h1>Customs Act Update: No Penalties for Import Delays Due to ICEGATE Issues; Section 46 Waives Late Charges.</h1> The circular addresses issues arising from recent amendments to the Customs Act, 1962, specifically concerning delays in filing the Bill of Entry due to technical problems with ICEGATE. It clarifies that importers should not face penalties for delays caused by system faults. Section 46 of the Customs Act allows for waiving late charges if justified. The Board advises Additional or Joint Commissioners of Customs to exercise discretion in such cases, ensuring importers are not unduly penalized. Chief Commissioners are urged to issue standing orders to facilitate ease of business and address non-importer-related delays.
