Electronic transmission of authorisations centralises Advance/EPCG records in ICES, eliminating printed security-paper copies and enabling electronic verifications. Advance/EPCG Authorisations issued for EDI ports will no longer be printed on security paper; DGFT will transmit authorisation details electronically to the Customs server and ICES. Officers will verify, register and debit authorisations via ICES without physical copies; registration and bond/bank guarantee determination procedures remain unchanged. Amendments and invalidations will also be updated electronically. Electronically issued authorisations for EDI ports cannot be used with TRA for imports at non-EDI ports, while physical authorisations continue for non-EDI ports.
