Single Window query module enables mandatory electronic PGA queries and replies before NOC issuance in ICES.
Single Window online Query Module in ICES allows PGAs in the SWNOC role to raise electronic queries to importers/Custom Brokers via ICEGATE; PGAs may grant NOC only after all electronic replies are furnished. The NOC processing screen will display the importer's AEO status for facilitation, and officers should report system access or implementation difficulties to the designated ICEGATE and departmental email contacts. The Public Notice shall operate as a standing order for departmental staff.

Customs Authority for Advance Rulings created to provide advance rulings; notifications issued and publicity sought.
The circular notifies the Customs Authority for Advance Rulings (CAAR) Regulations, 2021, records the formal notification of two constituent CAAR authorities in specified jurisdictions, and directs departmental officers to publicise the Regulations locally. It emphasises the Regulations as the statutory mechanism for obtaining advance rulings on customs matters and requests reporting of any implementation difficulties to the Board.

RoDTEP export rebate claims require shipping-bill declarations, post-manifest processing, ICEGATE credits, and controlled scrip utilisation or transfer.
RoDTEP rebates unrefunded Central, State and local duties, taxes and levies on exported products. Exporters must make an item-wise RoDTEP declaration in the shipping bill; no benefit accrues where the prescribed claim option is not selected, and claims cannot be altered after filing of the export general manifest. Eligible claims are processed after that filing and credited through scrolls to ICEGATE. Registered IEC holders may create credit-ledger accounts, generate credit scrips from eligible shipping bills, use scrips for notified import duties, and transfer them through OTP-verified procedures. Suspended scrips cannot be used or transferred.

RoDTEP incentive: exporters must declare claims in Shipping Bills to receive transferable duty-credit scrips via ICEGATE.
The RoDTEP scheme remits duties, taxes and levies not refunded elsewhere through credits that accrue only where exporters elect the claim in the Shipping Bill using prescribed declarations; system checks bar benefits where other export schemes apply, RMS applies risk-based routing, and once notified rates permit automated calculation, credits are scrolled to ICEGATE accounts for conversion into transferable credit scrips usable against import duties via a Credit Ledger and OTP-secured transfer workflow.

RoDTEP declaration requirement mandates exporters to state intent in Shipping Bill, enabling later credit calculation and scrips.
RoDTEP implementation mandates exporters to declare intent to claim RoDTEP in the Shipping Bill via specified SW_INFO entries and STATEMENT CODE RD001; absent RODTEPY no RoDTEP accrues and claims are immutable after EGM filing. Declared Shipping Bills are risk-targeted by RMS and processed by DBK_AC officers who calculate Drawback and RoDTEP on the same export value. Scroll generation options exist but remain disabled until final rates are notified. Once enabled, credits appear in ICEGATE for scrip generation, transfer, ledgering, and utilization against import duties, with suspension powers available to Customs officers.
