Project Imports registration in ICES requires mandatory project number and PI bond registration before filing import declarations. A new Project Imports module in ICES centralises registration, a national provisional bond category PI, filing of provisional Bills of Entry with item wise debits against the project and bond, and finalisation with bond recrediting. Projects must be registered in the LIC role and approved in APR to obtain a ten digit project number starting with '99'. Registration requires scheme code PI, item details with CIF in foreign currency, and mandatory PI bond; subsequent BE filing will not be allowed without the project number.
