RFID e-sealing requirement: exporters must adopt self-sealing with RFID eseals or face standard risk-management processing.
RFID e-sealing is mandated for full container loads sealed at approved premises under the self-sealing procedure, treating such containers as equivalent to officer-supervised seals for movement; intact e-seals obviate routine examination, tampered seals trigger examination and reversion to traditional bottle-seal procedures. Specific exporter categories are required or entitled to adopt e-seals, the procedure excludes non-containerized, air, and land customs exports, and vendors must provide rugged fixed and handheld readers, an application capturing prescribed immutable data elements and seal-read location, and initial exporter IEC details to risk management.

Place of importation definition narrows included costs in customs valuation; domestic trans shipment and certain handling charges excluded.
The amendment defines place of importation as the customs station where goods are cleared for home consumption or removed to a warehouse, limiting includable costs to those incurred up to that place. Loading, unloading and handling charges relating to delivery at the place of importation are excluded from CIF; only charges incurred to deliver goods to the place of importation are included. The Rules also permit apportionment of freight and insurance where only combined FOB-plus-freight or FOB-plus-insurance values are known, and exclude domestic trans shipment costs from the transaction value to ensure consistent treatment across transport modes.

EGM filing compliance required: electronic closure and amendments in EDI, non-compliance attracts penalties.
Stakeholders must regularise and electronically file and close pending Export General Manifests in the Indian Customs EDI system, use Supplementary EGMs or EGM amendments for completed exports, and ensure correct Local EGM Train/Truck Summaries for ICD shipping bills. Failure to comply will attract penal action under Section 117, and the statutory obligation to file rests with the master or authorised agent under Section 41; manual gateway filing is to be discontinued except in exceptional cases.

Exporters must adopt RFID e seals for FCLs with phased mandatory dates and vendor data and reader obligations.
Mandatory implementation of RFID e seals for full container load exports under the self sealing framework applies to eligible exporters (existing self sealers, those entitled by supervised sealing, AEOs, and others upon permission and GST compliance). FCLs arriving with prescribed RFID e seals are equivalent to officer sealed containers unless tamper or intelligence indicates inspection. Vendors must provide rugged fixed and handheld readers, a searchable desktop application within 30 days, transmit initial purchaser IEC details to risk management, ensure data is non editable, and capture seal read locations. A phased mandatory rollout begins 8 Nov and completes in stages by 20 Nov and thereafter.

IGST refund on exports: ensure shipping bill, EGM and valid GSTR 3 for electronic credit to applicant bank account.

Exporters must ensure timely, accurate EGM filings, correct Table 6A reporting (with GSTN utility provisionally available), prompt GSTR 3 filing, and alignment of bank account details between Customs and GST registration.
