Electronic authorisations for Advance and EPCG schemes replace paper copies, with ICES verification and restricted use at non EDI ports. Advance and EPCG authorisations for EDI ports will no longer be printed on security paper; DGFT will transmit authorisations and any amendments electronically to the Customs ICES server. Physical presentation is unnecessary: registration, bond/bank guarantee determination and special conditions are available on ICES, all debits will be recorded in ICES, and no physical debits are required. Electronically issued authorisations cannot be used for imports at non EDI ports (no TRA); physical security paper authorisations will continue for non EDI ports. ARO/invalidation procedure by Customs under the earlier Board Instruction is withdrawn.
