To reduce delay in clearances of 're-imported goods' where benefit of exemption from payment of duty is claimed under any Notification

New Guidelines for Duty Exemptions on Re-Imported Goods: Compliance Required for Smooth Clearance Process.

The circular addresses delays in clearing re-imported goods claiming duty exemptions under specific notifications. It highlights the need for importers, exporters, and customs brokers to adhere to certain conditions to expedite the process. These include filing advance or prior bills of entry, surrendering export incentives, and submitting necessary documentation before clearance. The circular outlines that failure to comply with these conditions will result in the inability to claim exemptions. It also advises that the 'First Check' procedure is unnecessary if conditions are met, and any discrepancies found during examination may lead to denial of exemptions and penalties.
