<h1>Reduction of Time Gap Between Vessel Berthing and Entry Inwards to allow earlier customs entry on pilot boarding report</h1> Customs will permit grant of Entry Inwards upon reporting at pilot station/pilot boarding based on electronic notification from port traffic control and vessel agents, delinking Entry Inwards from the physical completion of boarding formalities. This relies on advance IGM and pre-arrival Bill of Entry filings to allow pre-clearance; as a result, cargo discharge may commence immediately after berthing. Boarding officers must still complete document verification and inspections after berthing and may act on any discrepancies despite Entry Inwards already being recorded. Stakeholders should exchange contact details for electronic communication and report implementation issues to the designated preventive customs officer.
