Generation and processing of Transshipment Bonds for Bond-to-Bond transfer of warehoused imported goods
Show AI Summary
Transshipment Bonds enable regulated bond-to-bond warehouse transfers through document scrutiny, ICES approval, re-warehousing accountability and duty security.

After acceptance of the transfer request by the proper officer at the source warehouse, the importer or authorised Customs Broker must submit the prescribed bond and supporting documents to the Turant Suvidha Kendra. Following scrutiny, a Job Number is generated in ICES and approved by the Deputy or Assistant Commissioner, after which a Transshipment Bond Number is issued.

All new GST registrations are to undergo mandatory physical verification through the UPGST Field Visit App or GSTN Tax Officer App immediately after registration, with selfie-based geo-tagged verification, interview of the registrant, comparison of uploaded documents with originals, and prompt action on adverse reports. Newly registered firms must also be monitored through scrutiny of early returns, e-way bill consistency, bank account validation, risk scoring, six-month re-verification, witness statements, stock and business activity checks, chain analysis of beneficiaries, and mandatory feeding of NGTP data on the NGTP portal. The circular also requires structured training in cybersecurity, cyber audit, forensic examination, GSTN AI and analytics tools, and identification of NGTP indicators, with APAR consequences for non-participation or non-use of analytics tools.
