<h1>Customs Allows Provisional Clearance with Photocopies of Origin Certificates Amid COVID-19; Bonds Required by May 7, 2020.</h1> In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Customs department issued a notice allowing importers to provisionally clear goods using photocopies of the Country of Origin Certificates (COOC) due to the inability to receive physical originals. Under Section 18 of the Customs Act, 1962, importers can opt for provisional assessment by submitting a Bond or Undertaking. Certain importers, like AEO/Status Holders and those importing specific goods, are exempt from providing security. This temporary measure aims to facilitate trade while ensuring revenue protection. Importers must replace Undertakings with proper Bonds by May 7, 2020, and relevant records will be maintained by the Appraising Group.
