Faceless Customs Assessment: Ensure Compliance, Submit Complete Descriptions, Upload Documents, and Note Increased Monetary Limits for Faster Processing.

The circular addresses the process of faceless assessment in customs, emphasizing the need for efficiency and compliance with legal provisions. Importers must be given a chance to be heard before re-assessment, and complete descriptions of goods should be provided in the Bill of Entry to avoid delays. Mandatory uploading of supporting documents in e-Sanchit is required to justify duty exemptions. The monetary limit for assessments by Appraising Officers is increased to expedite the process. For liquid bulk cargo, assessments should be provisional, avoiding the First Check System. Mandatory document uploads are required for items needing Drug Controller clearance.
