Electronic transmission of Advance/EPCG authorisations allows customs processing without security-paper copies, limiting use to EDI ports. Physical security-paper printing of Advance and EPCG authorisations is discontinued for registrations at EDI ports; DGFT will electronically transmit authorisation details and any special conditions to the Customs ICES server for visibility by officers handling registration, assessment, examination and debits. Registration processes and determination of bond/bank guarantees remain unchanged except that holders must present IEC and authorisation numbers for ICES verification. Amendments and invalidations will be updated electronically and prior Customs ARO/invalidation procedure is withdrawn. Electronically issued authorisations for EDI ports cannot be used at non-EDI ports and will not have TRA facility; physical copies continue for non-EDI ports.
