Bill of Entry filing suspension pauses electronic import processing on Budget day until system updates are completed. Filing of Bills of Entry will be unavailable from 11:00 hours on 23 July 2024 until Notifications and Tariff Directories in ICES are updated; Section 48 approvals will be suspended after that time. Shipping Bill processing continues, but sites must manually collect any export duties or cesses imposed by the Budget on Let Export Orders given after 23 July 2024 until directory changes are online. Field formations must track prior BEs for duty changes before granting OOC; system restoration for BE filing is dependent on completion of ICES updates, typically within 48 hours if no substantial new levies are notified.
