Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs Launches Paperless Customs with eGatepass and eOoC Copies Effective April 15, 2020.
The circular from the Central Board of Indirect Taxes & Customs outlines measures for paperless customs processes amid the Covid-19 pandemic. It introduces electronic communication of PDF-based Gatepass and Out of Charge (eOoC) copies of the Bill of Entry to Customs Brokers and importers, reducing physical interaction and documentation. The eOoC and eGatepass will be digitally signed and contain QR codes for verification. These reforms aim to expedite customs clearance, lower transaction costs, and enhance security. The changes, effective from April 15, 2020, require all custodians to register on ICEGATE for seamless implementation.
