Electronic sealing - Deposit in and removal of goods from Customs bonded Warehouses.

Electronic sealing for bonded warehouses: RFID one-time locks required to secure and track movement of goods to and from warehouses.

The circular extends RFID-based REID self-sealing to goods deposited in and removed from customs bonded warehouses, requiring use of RFID one-time-locks sourced from CBIC-listed vendors that meet ISO specifications. Licencees must procure readers and ensure seals link TID numbers to warehouse codes; specified data elements (including IEC, entry/shipping bill numbers, seal serial, sealing time/date, container or vehicle registration, and origin/destination codes) must be captured in a web application. Tampered seals trigger examination or refusal to unload and trip reports from destination scans serve as statutory acknowledgements.
