Closure of Bill of Entry

[Mednob India]

We had made a payment to a company X in A country for import of certain goods in July 2024.The X company sent invoice for total amount that we paid and sent the products. The products were received by us making full payment to customs as per the total invoice value. But we had found one of the product not sent by X company and telephonically informed. Immediately he asked the Y company in B country to send the product as he was running short of the product and X in A country made payment to Y company in B Country. The Y company raised an invoice for the full amount of the missing product on our name and sent to us in India. In India we received as a normal shipment with the invoice value and we had made all the duty payments. Now this BOE is pending to be closed as the payment to Y company in B country is not paid by us. Kindly guide how can we close the BOE in Bank. The amount is around USD 5500.

AI Summary

Import payment reconciliation: provide proof of outward remittance or execute payment to enable BOE closure by the bank.
Closure of a pending Bill of Entry requires documentary reconciliation linking outward remittance to the relevant invoice where a supplementary overseas supplier issued an additional invoice for a missing item. The bank will close the BOE only after proof of payment or executed remittance to the secondary supplier is provided and matched to the BOE; if unpaid, the importer must remit and submit payment confirmation. If invoicing is split, provide both suppliers' invoices and payment evidence to the bank and coordinate with customs if valuation or invoice allocation requires clarification.
